Wow. A strike out in his first at-bat. Tony Snow went down swinging with his reference to "hugging the tar baby" at his first televised press briefing. Not that it was used in a racist context but only a total rube would not know that "tar baby" is racist slur. That brings Bush's approval rating among blacks down to 2 to 3 range. And I don't mean percent (it was already at 2% last year).
Or maybe the Bush administration is smarter than I give them credit for and they're just pandering to their base of xenophobic, racist religious nuts.
Update: Have you noticed the complete absence on coverage on this by the MSM? Here's one article I found.

Daily Show showed the clip of him using the tar baby comment. Good lord. We went from the robot, McClelletron 8000 to someone like Ron Burgundy from The Anchorman...
If not for TDS I wouldn't have known about it.
