Tony Snow, long time Fox News host and former editorial page editor for The Washington Times, is now a political commentator for CNN, according to Jon Klein, the network's president. He begins now — as in today — offering the conservative take on things.Mr. Snow has a sterling record: He was the convivial press secretary for President Bush from April 2006 to September 2007 and spent a decade in front of Fox News cameras. "In the White House, Tony brought a remarkably human touch to the discussion of public policy," Mr. Klein said. "He will contribute a unique breadth of political and journalistic expertise."
The suave and civil Mr. Snow is ready to roll, calling this "the most exciting and unpredictable political year in memory. "The big challenge in 2008 is to develop deep, creative and aggressive analysis of both political parties, their candidates and campaigns," Mr. Snow continued. "I'm eager to get started, since this race is sure to shape American politics for years to come."
