tony snow don't know nothing about slurrin no tar babies
What frickin' morons. White House Press Secretary and ex-Fox News talking head Tony Snow on NSA wiretapping:
Having said that, I don't want to hug the tar baby of trying to comment on the program... [Hat tip Crooks and Liars.]
Scholarly debates about folkloric origins aside, "tar baby" is pretty much not something that needs to be coming out of the mouth of a presidential press secretary. A communication professional's job to understand and navigate such nuances, but time and again we are asked to choose between believing these Republican mouth-pieces are incompetent or racist. I likely don't need to tell you where my money is...
