CNN Hires Tony Snow   [Kevin D. Williamson]

Prepare for a whole Götterdämmerung of operatic woe from the Left. It's going to be even worse than when Bill Kristol joined the New York Times:

Former White House Press Secretary (and former Fox News staffer) Tony Snow has signed on with CNN, which says his job will be “conservative commentator.”...

So here’s your latest update on ex-Bush advisers now commenting for cash:

Tony Snow, CNN. Karl Rove, Fox. Matthew Dowd, ABC.

Need we point out that while Tony Snow's job description is "conservative commentator," George Stephanopoulos's job description at ABC is "anchor and chief Washington correspondent"? In ABC's 11-paragraph bio of Stephanopoulos, there is one sentence, in the ninth paragraph, that touches on the only reason anybody has ever heard the name "George Stephanopoulos," i.e. that he was a very successful operative/enabler for Bill Clinton.
