From our good news file: Ailing White House spokesman Tony Snow has told his boss that he plans to return to work on April 30.

"That's what he's been telling people" inside the West Wing, says an official. Snow's been away fighting cancer and surprised Washington when he attended last Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Snow has said he feels pretty good, considering the treatment, though it's unclear how often he will handle questions in the White House briefing room.

Come on, Tony you can do it.

[evad]

I absolutely admire this man.

He's one of the very very few that I would actually "trust".

[rdb3]

Nicccccce...

[jveritas]

I heard today on Foxnews. That is excellent.

[American Quilter]

Oh, that’s wonderful! I hope he’s recovering well and won’t push himself too hard.

[Cicero]

Good news.

[JimSEA]

I really respect this guy. From the pictures I saw, he has really been through a rough time, but wanting to get back to work shows his character.

[JimVT]

Be great to see him back.....and...
I have been very impressed with his number 2, Dana Perino!!!

[Mo1]

Great News!!

[Knute]

Praise the Lord!

[aimee5291]

Yes, it will be good to see him back.

TS is such a nice man...

[not2worry]

You can’t keep a good man down!

Welcome back Tony, we missed you.

[TennTuxedo]

Go Tony!

[Finalapproach29er]

He’s tough to dislike.

Praise the Lord of hosts.

Tony has many years left here.

[RushCrush]

Big ups to Tony! A welcome return!

I still miss his radio show but I'll settle for having him in the WH :)

[cdnerds]

Tony kicks ARSS!

[Halls]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

[Baladas]

I hope you’re right. This is good news for a change, I hope he’s up to it - WH press secretary has got to be one of the hardest jobs in the world, the heavy contact with the MSM.

[magellan]

I absolutely admire this man.

He's one of the very very few that I would actually "trust".

I second that. He is an incredibly decent man.

[BallyBill]

YAY!

[barker]

Be great to see him back.....and... I have been very impressed with his number 2, Dana Perino!!!

She has been great filling in for Tony. Maybe they will be sharing some duties until Tony is back to 100%.

Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh, the ring of the piper's tune
Oh, for one of those hours of gladness
Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon!

[wideminded]

I have been very impressed with his number 2, Dana Perino

She is extremely competent.

[mystery-ak]

YIPPEE.....I am glad you are coming back...I will continue praying for you and your family.

[ErnBatavia]

Nice way to ring in my 60th....it'd be a sad day otherwise!!

Welcome home, Tony!

[Kieri]

Tony knows we’ve been pulling and praying for him. That won’t stop until he’s been declared healed.

It’ll be good to see him again! Welcome back, Tony!

[NonValueAdded]

Welcome back, Tony, our prayers are with you.

[vandy]

This news makes me smile!!

[StopGlobalWhining]

Tony is a wonderful fellow and 11 years ago this past Sunday became the first host of Fox News Sunday. That was April 1996 and the first time I heard of Tony Snow.

In my opinion, his best ever FNS performance was in 1998 when he absolutely decimated Lanny Davis who had been shilling for the Clintons all over TV without challenge. Tony put Lanny in his place, prompting threats from the Clinton WH to boycott Fox in the future.

Since then I listened to him as a substitute host for Rush Limbaugh, and later on his own radio show.

I looking forward to seeing him recovered and back in the WH!

[Faith]

Tony, we are all rooting for you. May the Lord continue to be your strength and shield. He is faithful forever.

[KoRn]

Awesome! I had him in the grave a few weeks ago, and now he’s coming back to work! Shows what I know, which obviously isn’t much.

Of course this is coming from someone who had a co-worker convinced they were facing imminent death after they tore a muscle in their leg and had some shortness of breath with some dizziness from apparent anxiety from the pain. I had them in the ER fearing a pulmonary embolism had happened.

[Shadowstrike]

It’s wonderful to hear that he feels up to returning.

I hope his treatments are doing well, and that God will provide a total healing for him.

He and his family are in my prayers.

[pissant]

Excellent. Though he replacement is sure pleasing to the eyeballs.

[Loud Mime]

Good News...

Tony, you’re missed because you are dedicated to the right things. That’s a rare quality in DC.

[Fudd Fan]

Tony is GRRRRRREAT!!

[dk/coro]

Seconded, in spades. Tony Snow is a class act in every sense of the word...and, essentially, far too good a man for the Potomac Swamp he is forced to navigate.

[RunningWolf]

Woo Hoo!

Alright Tony!

[Rembrandt]

In a related story, Hillary Klintoon said she also has cancer but it is treatable and no real threat to her health before 2016. She also said she has found that several of her ancestors were Arabic.

[ProCivitas]

Snow is the best White House Press Secretary in my 45 years. He could probably combine that post with that of Communications Director and greatly improve the Administration.

[sodpoodle]

Good work Tony.

Had not heard a peep on this wonderful news - even on Fox!

Obviously good news about President Bush’s Press Secretary is not as important as Rosie quitting, Imus getting fired, Alec Baldwin’s rant and other assorted garbage.
