From former White House press secretary
Ron Nessen's chat:
Sunnyvale, Calif.: Some days ago, there was a comment made by Snow himself (I think), as to why would he take a pay cut to become a pinata. Why did he?
Ron Nessen: I'm not sure why he did. But I can tell you why I did -- after covering the White House during Lyndon Johnson's presidency and the first month of the Ford presidency, I had a strong urge to see what was going on BEHIND the scenes. I got my wish, and what I found was that what went on in the White House was WAY more complicated than it appeared to me as a reporter on the outside.
