Fox News is announcing that Tony Snow has died.

Heartbreaking news.

[tgslTakoma]

Sad news ping.

[Nailbiter]

That’s how Yahoo begins story - always pointing out a conservative but never mentioning writers/commentators who are liberals

Agreed, but any article about writer or pol that does not state affliation in title or 1st para.
I always assume to be liberal or democrat, so they do themselves in everytime

Rest In Peace, Mr. Snow.

And is playing all the musical instruments to boot! ;0)

I’m junping in here to say my little piece.

There are lots of words on the air about how capable and nice he was.

I’ll take a different tack.

He is an example of the American Dream. He started as a writer, he became a Rush EIB substitute, he was hired by Roger Ailes and rose quickly as a Friday replacement for Brit Hume. He rose to the top of the business because hewas at the lowest level, a very very good guy.

The question arises.....Why Tony?

[barker]

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31

Very sad to hear. He will be missed. Prayers up for Tony and his family.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

He was a good man and a good newsman - he will be missed.
My prayers for his family.

Agree 100%. None the less, it's typical marxist media bias.

Back to thread - a very heavy heart with the passing of Tony who grew up just down the road in Cincinnati. Tony was a real great American.

[DooDahhhh]

Don’t watch that trash!

[Earthdweller]

Heaven has entered a dear one. See you when we all get there Tony...

<< I hate cancer. >>

Right with you there. I hate cancer like it was a person — merciless, pitiless, too-close-to-inexorable.

Tony was a good guy, and a FReeper. So sad. And 53 isn’t that old (writes the 52yo).

[meandog]

just damn! RIP Tony you’re one of the good guys.

[commonguymd]

RIP Tony!

Former Bush press secretary Snow, sick, cancels Ohio speech (update at #103 from Tony Snow himself) Thursday, May 29, 2008 7:18:52 PM · 103 of 320 Tony Snow to La Enchiladita I couldn’t agree more about Schwarzeneger’s attitude. Wonderful! Faith is everything, friends, through good or ill... Thanks so much for your kind thoughts regarding my latest unpleasantness. As often happens, reports of my imminent demise are greatly exaggerated. I’ve been fighting a bowel obstruction for the last month, and won’t travel until we get it fixed. Hence, the speech cancellations. We’ve embarked on a pretty aggressive course of treatment, and I’m on the mend. As for cancer, all the signs are good: Treatments are working, and genetic tests indicate that a new course of treatment has a good chance of real success. So thanks, as always, for the thoughts and prayers — and continue sharing them with each other for others in need (like Jim Rob). I can’t tell you what a source of strength and reassurance you are.

“... always pointing out a conservative but never mentioning writers/commentators who are liberals.”

Your point is well taken, but having Tony Snow listed as a conservative lifts us all for his having been in our company. If more conservatives came across the way Tony did, there’d be few liberals left.
