The Tony Snow Show

The former White House press secretary talks about President Bush, declining party loyalty, liberal media bias, and more.

(Page 3 of 3)

reason: How has the advent of new media such as bloggers complicated your job as press secretary?

Snow: Not much. I've been a little bit surprised because I've always been an advocate of blogs but, at this juncture, they don't affect things too much. The interesting thing about blogs is that they tend to be serial. They get into an issue and really dig into it, hit it hard. Then they play a very important role, but, on a day-to-day basis, story-to-story, they don't have much of an impact.

reason: Do you wish you could have stayed longer?

Snow: Yeah, sure.  I'd love to be able to stay to the end. But my wife and I had known for a good six or seven months that this wasn't possible. I'm sure I'm going to go through intense withdrawal.
