Oh my God! I thought he was doing better in his fight with cancer. This is sad, indeed. I always loved watching him spot for O'Reilly on the Factor and his other apperances. He will be missed and may God rest his soul.

The Associated Press gets a little jab in right away:

Quote
Former Bush press secretary Tony Snow dies
By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer
5 minutes ago
 
[excerpt]

WASHINGTON - Tony Snow, a conservative writer and commentator who cheerfully sparred with reporters in the White House briefing room during a stint as President Bush's press secretary, died Saturday of colon cancer. He was 53.

"America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character," President Bush said in a statement from Camp David, where he was spending the weekend. "It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work."

Snow, who served as the first host of the television news program "Fox News Sunday" from 1996 to 2003, would later say that in the Bush administration he was enjoying "the most exciting, intellectually aerobic job I'm ever going to have."

Snow was working for Fox News Channel and Fox News Radio when he replaced Scott McClellan as press secretary in May 2006 during a White House shake-up. Unlike McClellan, who came to define caution and bland delivery from the White House podium, Snow was never shy about playing to the cameras.

With a quick-from-the-lip repartee, broadcaster's good looks and a relentlessly bright outlook — if not always a command of the facts — he became a popular figure around the country to the delight of his White House bosses.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080712/ap_on_re_us/obit_snow

To be fair, I'm sure someone in the MSM will make mention of the fact that Elders wanted to teach sex ed to 6 year olds in her obituary, whenever it happens, but still.   ::) :whatever:  If not always a command of the facts.  Oh, please!

RIP Tony.


As much as I wanted to say something about that fat bastard Ted Kennedy when he had been taken to the hospital, I at least observed the respect asked of here by not doing so. It was the right thing to do at the time and already DelUsional underground has had their members starting in on Tony Snow who at the last time anyone checked ,didn't leave someone to drown to death in his car nor took after somewoman he was never married too.

Tony Snow is a true talent. I like hearing his voice on radio and television. I enjoyed his show, very relaxing. He can do his show on a whim and did it with great energy and enthuiasm. Tony Snow was like a blue supergiant star that can make everyone excited like a supernova. He was the supernova.

I am very sorry and saddened that he passed away so suddenly at the age of 53. My condolences to Tony Snow's family, relatives, and friends. You will be missed.  :( :bawl:  RIP Robert Anthony Snow. You are in a much better and peaceful world free of pain and suffering.

Tony Snow's mother died of colon cancer at the age of 38, when he was 17. I am not surprised it runs in families. Still, does not minimize the sadness. On the plus side, he will be with his mother.

I was just browsing the "usual suspects" for derogatory comments about Tony.

DU, Moveon.org, Media Matters, and Huffington Post. 

-- DU is carrying the deal about the administrator telling the mods to prevent negative comments from appearing.

-- Moveon.org hasn't even posted the story.

-- Media Matters hasn't posted the story.

-- Huffington Post has posted the story and there are 9 "pending" comments.  I wonder if they are going to allow negative comments to be posted or are going to follow DUs example.

Maybe the hate mongers on the left learned their lesson from when Reagan and Ford passed away and they spewed their krap.

I'm not going to hold my breath though.  Eventually, they will fill the airwaves with their vile hatred.
