It’s like putting lipstick on a pig. The hiring of Tony Snow and the other changes at the White House won’t mean a thing if Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld keep pushing the same failed policies. George Will sums it up perfectly:
[Snow’s appointment is] just what conservatives really want, is government by Fox News. But he’s a man of wit, charm, intelligence, goodwill and it won’t make a particle of difference. It really won’t. Because it’s not a communication problem. It’s a substance problem. Politics is about something. Now, this is an aesthetic improvement in that room in the White House, period.
