Tony Snow Inspires Me to Verse

This exchange occurred towards the end of Tony Snow’s press conference yesterday:

Q One more, please. Can you confirm that Karl Rove received a copy of the Iranian proposal for negotiation sometime in early May, 2003?

MR. SNOW: I absolutely cannot. I know nothing about it.

Q Are you sure you know nothing about it?

MR. SNOW: I am sure that I know nothing about it. I will try to find out —

The man is not even trying any more. He was asked point-blank by a scum-of-the-earth reporter “Are you sure you’re not lying?” And he didn’t bristle, he didn’t spew? No reaction whatsoever? Breaking into doggerel:

He just let it go?
Is that the Tony Snow
We used to know?
