Chappelle: ‘I’ll take Tony Snow’s job.’


From Thinkprogress:
At the White House this morning, CNN correspondent Ed Henry “noticed a small group of Secret Service officers gathered around a man with a black backpack.” As he moved closer to the scene, Henry realized who was causing all the commotion, Dave Chappelle:

Since Chappelle made international headlines in 2005 by essentially disappearing for awhile under strange circumstances — and walking away from a $50 million deal to continue his show on Comedy Central — I asked what he’s doing next.
“I want your job,” he said, explaining that it’s fun to watch reporters go back-and-forth with White House Press Secretary Tony Snow.
“Or maybe I’ll take Tony Snow’s job,” Chappelle smiled. “I think that’s a cool job.”
Neither Tony nor I get $50 million. But we both have great jobs — plus you never know who you’ll run into next around here.
Or take Bush's job. That way we can still keep comedy in the White House..

Chappelle could do well with Tony Snow's job. Look Chappelle is high on everything and has lapse of memory so would fit right in with the insane Administration. The Gerbil is a drunk and druggie, Cheney is working on the Mission and Karl Rove likes to act like he's black. Welcome to the crazy White House Mr. Chappelle.

I saw Snow on TV. He looks like hell. He should just get his chemo and rest.
