>>"The President of USA George Bush is left without one of his main protectors. Following Carl Rove, who was called "brain" of the president, a resignation was given by his "tongue" - press-secretary Tony Snow. He occupied that duty more than a year, and all the time protected foreign and domestic policy of Bush."

>>The rest is just retelling of what we heard here - about Snow's money issues, cancer etc.


Wouldn't tongue in this situation translate to "Mouthpiece"?
