Good man, too young. God bless Tony and his family.
I’m going to miss Tony. He was one of the few columnist and commentators today who actually made sense.
I was really worried when I saw how much he lost weight in his last few TV appearances.
I suspected he was battling cancer. I was right.
R.I.P., Mr. Blankley.
PING!
Guys who died before their time and whom I really miss:
Tony Blankley
Tony Snow
Eric Breindel
Lee Atwater
Some time ago I saw an article from Tony and remarked that I hadn’t seen anything from his remarkable mind recently.
He was a happy warrior for the conservative cause and never stooped to ad hominem attacks.
Like Tony Snow he may be followed as a model but cannot be replaced.
RIP Tony and prayers for your family.
Blankley is a Big Loss, one of the intelligent ones. RIP.
Rest in peace, Tony.
What a shame. I always liked Tony. RIP
Rest In Peace
RIP.
Going to miss him. My sincere sympathies to his family.
I saw him as a commentator on television many times. He was excellent. This is truly a sad loss. He worked under Newt Gingrich for many years and wrote these recent endorsements of Newt for president:

RIP. I am sorry. I saw him on tv recently and did not recognize him, he had lost so much weight.
In other news, Paul Begala is still breathing air Hugo Chavez could be breathing.
so sad to hear this...
Tony was a good man. Sorry to hear he is gone.
Oh no, am really sorry to hear this. I have wondered off and on about his absence from the political scene over the past year or so. I always enjoyed his commentary on the McLaughlin Group. He was a one-of-a-kind, thoughtful deep thinker with firm conservative American principles.
Rest in peace, Tony, and thank you for all you did for America. May the Lord comfort your loved ones.
Darn shame. I was wondering why I hadn’t read anything from him recently or seen him on TV. I met him when I interned in DC and he seemed like a nice guy. RIP
So sad to hear that. I will miss Tony Blankley’s clear thinking and his cutting through the clutter right to the key underlying dynamics, points and principles. I always sought out his columns because I would almost always come away with clearer insight into the issue at hand.
