Snow: “Too Good To Pass Up”

Brit Hume told Howard Kurtz that he’s “a little surprised” Snow is taking the press secretary job. “I think he’s excited by the idea of being on the inside,” Hume said. “He believes he will be at the table when decisions are made. For someone of his bent, that’s too good to pass up.”

> Also: Snow “has told associates he plans to function as an advocate for reporters, an approach that would run counter to the administration’s previous philosophy about the position.”
