After some speculation, Tony Snow is the new Press Secretary. This is great, and he is going to be fun to watch. I appeared on the Tony Snow Show briefly when he was here on campus on September 22, 2004 (the wee infancy of this blog!). Here is my write-up from then (man has my writing improved since then!):

I appeared today on "The Tony Snow Show," which is syndicated and on FOXNews Radio on satellite. Tony's show was live today from my college, the University of Delaware, and so, I went. During the hour spent discussing Dan Rather, I asked the first audience question relating to the matter, which was, "If it weren't for cable news, and the internet acting as checks on broadcast news, would we have ever known that the memos were bogus?" Tony answered "No, probably not," and then went on to praise bloggers, like myself, and Free Republic. He said the blogs are changing the face of media, "for the first time we have free-market media." I got a Fox News sweatshirt out of it (Yes!). right after me was RNC Chair Ed Gillespie, who commented on Rathergate and the recent poll putting his home state of New Jersey in play this election. I was also interviewed by WVUD, the campus radio station. Very cool.

I still have the sweatshirt, by the way, and wear it in cold weather. I even appeared in the UDaily article about the event (announcement here). Here is my picture:

Yes, my back is to the camera, but I can attest that is me on stage with Tony Snow. Here is the post-event write-up, the source of these pictures.
