Snow is probably one of the more mature right-wing pundits. He has often been very critical of President Bush. In November of 2005 after Republicans lost Virginia&#8217;s Governor race, Snow wrote, &#8220;His wavering conservatism has become an active concern among Republicans, who wish he would stop cowering under the bed and start fighting back&#8230; The newly passive George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an interesting PR move by the White House. Fox News predicts that Snow will command more respect from the White House Press Corps. Will the reporters go easier on Snow? NBC&#8217;s David Gregory says that he will not change his aggressive style. <\/p>\n<p>Here are a few more quotes from Snow (compiled by MSNBC):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;[President Bush has] lost control of the Federal Budget&#8221; &#8211; 03\/17\/2006<br \/>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;No president has looked this impotent this long&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; 09\/30\/2005<br \/>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The English Language has become a minefield for the man. whose malaprops makes him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan but Norm Crosby&#8230; At one point last week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Tourette&#8217;s&#8221; &#8211; 08\/25\/2000<br \/>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The newly passive George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.&#8221; &#8211; 11\/11\/2005<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<b>UPDATE FROM BRAD:<\/b> Let&#8217;s also not overlook Snow&#8217;s mountain of irresponsible and inaccurate &#8220;reporting&#8221;.
