Poor Tony. He has to come up with witticisms and analogies to make the case for S2611 (Hagel-Martinez.)
But he'll have to do better than this:
The White House on Friday said a Senate bill that would grant legal status to illegal immigrants is analogous to a traffic law that allows a speeder to pay a fine and continue driving.
"If you had a traffic ticket and you paid it, you're not forever a speeder, are you?" White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said in response to questions from The Examiner.
Uhhh---Tony---did White House Counsel advise you that civil and criminal law are interchangeable? If so, you have a malpractice claim.
You just made Jim Sensenbrenner's case: it IS AMNESTY. "Not forever" is a key phrase, Tony.
I wish Tony would have stayed in radio.
