Strange Brew, Non Sequitur

Here's exactly what Tony Snow said: "Having said that, I don't want to hug the tar baby of trying to comment on the program"

Now for anyone thinking of going into PR (or if Tony Snow happens to be reading) here's a quick tip. Cut out the tar baby comment. What do you have left? "Having said that, i don't want to comment on the program" Exact same end result and you save yourself from people misconstruing your remarks as racist.

Not exactly. He was saying "I think that to comment further would put me to bat on a sticky wicket." Of course, not being British, and that American's haven't a clue about cricket he used the American colloquialism. I see a difference between "I don't want to comment" and "I don't want to comment because I'll get into hot water." In essence, he is trying to communicate that he's gone as close to the edge as he is comfortable standing on the topic. I think that is far different than "I don't want to answer your question".
