President Bush made a good selection in choosing former Fox News commentator Tony Snow as his Press Secretary.
He's got a tough job ahead of him and the Washington press may not give him much of a honeymoon as is traditional with new press secretaries.
But it stands to reason that he won't need much of one.
His talk-show radio and interview demeanor will allow him to take on everyone in that press room and come away with his armor intact. His predecessor's armor was in tatters almost from day one and the press drew blood on him daily.
Snow will run the show. The only thing that he has to watch out for is if he injects his own personal opinions (which sometimes runs contrary to the White House as has been covered in the media lately) into the question and answer sessions.
This is something that has caused the downfall of at least one press secretary over the years, but I think Tony Snow will do just fine.
