Tony Snow “Trying To Master How To Give You A Karate Chop & Still Smile”

E&P: “Asked about new White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, longtime president-watcher Helen Thomas tells The New York Times Magazine this coming Sunday, ‘I don’t think he is going to give us more information. I think he is a little smoother and slicker and he is trying to master how to give you a karate chop and still smile.’

Thomas tells Deborah Solomon she does not begrudge Snow’s former organization, Fox News, getting special favors, commenting that ‘if Fox has the access, good. If they can produce the news, that’s what we want. We want the people to be informed.'”
