After less than a year and a half as the White House spokesman, Tony Snow plans on leaving the gig. So says CNN. Props to them for throwing in this bit:
Snow told conservative talk-show host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday that “financial reasons” may prevent him for serving the remainder of his boss’s presidency.
“I’m not going to be able to go the distance, but that’s primarily for financial reasons.” Snow said. “I’ve told people when my money runs out, then I’ve got to go.”
According to The Washington Post, Snow makes $168,000 as the White House spokesman.
Maybe this is all an elaborate ruse to get a raise…
