Who Will Be Appointed President’s Press Secretary Is Still Unclear
          After a reporter said last night that Tony Snow is undergoing medical tests to determine whether his body could handle the stress of being the President’s Press Secretary, Brit Hume responded that everyone is rooting for Tony and it is expected that he will be appointed.
          But that colloquy did not prove anything. Even if it has already been agreed that Hume will be appointed and Snow will stay at a less stressful job with Fox, it would have to be announced in this manner.
          The best career choice for Tony at this point is to stay with Fox in some capacity. If the tests show that he can handle the stress, he should immediately take over Hume’s position at Fox. That could be a permanent position instead of a burnout, two-year job with not much pay that would leave Snow with nowhere to go in 2008.
          Nobody wants to make it appear as though Snow was rejected by the President and this will take time to accomplish.
          Although we’ve been wrong in the past, we continue to hope and believe that Hume will be given the position.
