Fox News is announcing that Tony Snow has died.
Heartbreaking news.
Tony was always honest. He said that the money became an issue and so he quit.
He was also a positive person so that’s all we know because he never whined.
beautiful ... thank you for posting that
Just a beautiful tribute. Thanks so much for posting it, Ali.
If anyone has stored up tears they need to release, this
is for you. Grab a few tissues.

PS
Politico/Mike Allen did a surprisingly nice tribute to Tony.

Go with God, brave and happy warrior.
Bahbah is right; Dana Perino does a fine job as WH Press Secretary and she doesn’t cede an inch.
That’s so kind of you. ((hugs)) I can’t imagine what it would be. He worked so hard .. so many long hours ... to provide for we 3 kids. Because of that, we really had pretty rare 1-on-1 time with him. It is absolutely the life-altering event of my life .. no doubt about it. Everything changed dramatically thereafter. And the times then were very very different. I really could write a book .... ;)
Special editions of O Reily, Greta and Jerry Rivers to start new. I hope someone is rolling digital.
Watching Bill O. (he has a cold)
Teary hugs, luv .... very depressing. Maybe work helped.
I’m not sure if I pinged you to #1204 ... I now have a crying headache. It will touch your heart deeply, and grab a tissue .. MORE HUGS.
We were lucky to have had great patriots like Mr Capra and Mr Berlin! I didn’t know that about Mrs. Berlin - thanks for the info!
There are some jewels out there these days that you wouldn’t consider to be fairly conservative. Alice Cooper (Vincent F Furnier) is reputed to be a fairly conservative man, which is at odds a bit with his public persona.
So there you go - Irving Berlin to Alice Cooper! :-)
Bill O’Reilly on Tony
“He elevated every situation he was in “...
I am so sorrty to hear this. He was such a good and gentle soul. I wish peace and strength for his family and friends. He will be missed.
I'll go look at it...I don't know if my aching heart can take much more....
I have dedicated my tunes today to Tony.
Tony Snow-Dedicated Music Posts
Scroll back to see other tunes. I just felt the need to do this.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
God bless you Tony. You lifted me up and gave me hope.
Now your reward is in heaven as the Lord receives you
into His outstretched arms and says, “well done, good
and faithful servant”.

Seems to always be in threes. I don’t know why.
We sure did.
Quite a few years ago someone said that the live threads reminded them of chats with the neighbors over the backyard fence. That always stuck with me, because it seemed so to be such a great description.
LOL! I totally agree. :-)
This is quite interesting with Andy Card and BOR.
Card is saying that when Tony was a speechwriter for Bush 41, he almost helped shape policy....
That is a perfect description! Chats over the fence in the back yard. I am really going to miss the live threads.
I find it interesting that Andrew Card said they were trying to get Tony on board as press secretary back when he was first diagnosed. That means that they were trying to find a replacement for ol Scotty boy.
