Bush names Fox News Radio's Snow press secretaryWed Apr 26, 2006 09:18 AM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush named Fox News Radio host Tony Snow as the new White House press secretary on Wednesday.
"I'm here in the briefing room to break some news, I've asked Tony Snow to serve as my new press secretary," Bush said.
Snow will replace Scott McClellan, who announced his resignation last week as part of a staff shake-up engineered by new White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten aimed at reviving Bush's presidency.
The conservative commentator had worked as a speech writer for Bush's father when he was president.
