Hot Air has video of Tony Snow performing his new duties. Instapundit points to Howard Kurtz saying:

[Snow] showed more emotion in 60 seconds than Scott McClellan did in three years.

True enough, as you can see from the video. But if he can take on Bill Maher — who (for all his faults, and they are many) is a well-informed, articulate, and intelligent guy — then he can take on a (I say this with all due respect) doddering old bat like Helen Thomas. Again, watch the video.
