President Bush announced his new White House press secretary on Wednesday: former Fox News host Tony Snow.

“As a professional journalist, Tony Snow understands the importance of the relationship between government and those whose job it is to cover the government,” Bush said during a White House appearance.

Snow replaces Scott McClellan, who announced last week he would step down during a West Wing makeover by Josh Bolten, the new White House chief of staff.

Can’t wait to see Tony work it up with Helen Thomas. He’s a classy guy though, so I’m not expecting fireworks. In general, this is a good move for the White House in terms of credibility. I’ve got high expectations for Tony.
