Tony, Tony, Tony

An initial much-appreciated-for-his-frank-nature, White House Press Secretary, Tony Snow, seems to have landed himself in a bit of hot water with the press corps. Check out Dana Milbank's hilarious yet depressing Washington Sketch article in yesterday's Post.

Highlights of the article: "When Snow took over as White House press secretary earlier this year, reporters found it refreshing that he was willing to admit when he didn't know something. This has become rather less refreshing as Snow, while claiming access to Bush's sanctum sanctorum, continues to use the phrase -- more than 400 times so far in televised briefings and interviews. Sometimes, it seems more of a tic than a response; usually, it's a brushoff.

Why so many 'dunnos'? "Because I don't know all," Snow explained, knowingly."

Now, I know that not every press secretary can have prewritten and prepared and fictional scripted answers like C.G. Craig - but as you read the rest of the article, the amount of things that Snow doesn't know moves from comedic to down right unnerving.
