Tony Snow is Wearing Too Many Hats
David Gergen is not happy about the fact that Tony Snow is using his position as Press Secretary to do major fundraising work for his party. Money quote:
“The principal job of the press secretary is to present information to reporters, not propaganda,” said David R. Gergen, who served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations and also advised President Bill Clinton. “If he is seen as wearing two hats, reporters as well as the public will inevitably wonder: is he speaking to us now as the traditional press secretary, or is he speaking to us as a political partisan?”Snow is scheduled to attend 16 fundraisers between now and the mid-term election.
