Kumbaya, My Snow, Kumbaya

Ever in need of a kumbaya moment? Need someone to grab the guitar, flick open the lighter, and have us join hands and come together around the campfire? Then just simply enlist the help of Tony Snow, President Bush’s rock-ribbed conservative press secretary, who seems to have a greater share of kumbaya moments than most Republicans:
“I hate to be kumbaya, but we’re going to be kumbaya, because I got help and advice from a lot of people before I took this job.” (August 2 press briefing)
“Everybody assumes that when we talk about bipartisanship that it’s just sort of happy face, kumbaya stuff, and we’re really lying through our teeth.” (January 5 press briefing)
“The idea that somehow we would have an endless string of Kumbaya moments is sort of one of those things that you might wish were the case. But it’s human nature.” (September 8 press briefing)
“When you have General Casey going in and trying to brief a Prime Minister, nobody is singing ‘Kumbaya.’” (June 2 press briefing)
