WASHINGTON - Fox News commentator John Daily is the front-runner to become White House press secretary and a decision on his appointment is near, Republicans close to the White House said Tuesday.
Daily has told associates he would sort of like to take the job and he has had semi-serious discussions with White House officials, the Republicans said on condition of anonymity because of President Bush's dislike of news leaks unless they are favorable to his administration.
President Bush’s selection of Daily is intended to show the American public that he too is serious about newsworthy journalism. It is expected that Daily will also expand the daily news briefings to Saturday evenings with a personal broadcast of his own views.
“The White House eagerly awaits Mr. Daily’s constructive insights into life and reality of the inner workings here.” said a senior barmaid on condition of genuine animosity and a generous tip.
