1. No, he did not.

Only two acting roles (well, a third one as press secretary), but never a game show host -- though he does have that type of personality. Maybe that's why your husband got confused.

9. very soon....Monday, I think

will the WH press corpsE kiss up to him for awhile, give him a breather?

not that they ever do much more than yap for a moment about the scandal de jour, then let it pass

maybe some enterprising news agency will hire Ray McGovern, or some of those kids who grilled the torturer in chief at FBI headquarters a few days ago

11. I think the "regulars" will not hold back, but Jim Angle &

the other Fox Toadie will swoon and coddle him. and then there's Les :puke;.. Snow will still go to the Lady from Spain, and Mr Pakistani, and the other "escape hatches", so I doubt things will change much..

15. they always hold back, after the occasional intial challenging question

they never follow up the next day, or continue the thread, from questioner to questioner, the way they COULD

I know what you mean, and they are getting slightly more restive, but I have absolutely no faith in those access hoors. No administration has ever come CLOSE to providing the constant fodder for investigative journalism as this regime, but they choose to NEVER cover even the most salacious stories, ones which, if had happened in the previous administration, we'd STILL be hearing about.

8. Dunno. But Lynn Swann (R-unqualified) did and was "replaced"...

From Wikipedia:

Swann also briefly hosted the televison game show To Tell the Truth, on which he had previously appeared as a panelist, on NBC from 1990 to 1991. His fourteen-week run as emcee met with critical disdain, and he was replaced by Alex Trebek.

certainly not "To Tell the Truth."

Pretty soon we hope to watch the entire bu$h* cabal on "Truth or Consequences."

I'm revealing my age by mentioning these oldies....

Flashback: Prospective White House press secretary accused of racism

RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday April 19, 2006

Tony Snow, the Fox News personality who has been in talks with the White House to become Bush's new press secretary, was recently accused by bloggers of racism.

RAW STORY covered in December that a blogger had uncovered syndicated columns by Snow, then host of The Tony Snow Show on FOX News Radio and Weekend Live with Tony Snow on the Fox News Channel, on a white supremacist website. It's unclear whether the column was reprinted with permission. The column appeared in various places including the Jewish World Review.

Snow's criticism of Kwanzaa took a controversial turn, focusing on war crimes in an attempt to argue that African-Americans should not celebrate their cultural heritage:
