I know the death notice was already posted, but I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Blankley several years ago (we sat at same table at a political event) and always found him very interesting. Hadn't seen him around lately, but did catch him on one of the talk shows just a couple of weeks ago & wondered why he had been off the air. RIP Mr. Tony Blankley

I am shocked by this news. I just saw him a while back on a news program discussion panel. I had no idea he was sick. What a terrible loss. This guy had some great insights. RIP.

I missed the previous post, so thanks for this. I always enjoyed hearing his opinions and analysis.

Prayers for the comfort of his family.

Oh no...I had not seen this...so sad. Aside from being a really bright guy, he always struck me as just a nice, nice guy. I have missed him lately and will continue to do so.

RIP Mr. Blankley.

Darn, he is a loss.

Tony was a class act. My first recollection of him seems to be about the time of the ‘94 Contract with America. He may have been on the American scene before that, but I was not aware of him. If memory serves, I recall him being very fair and even-handed in his contacts with Newt and the Conservatives who were giving the ‘rats a fit back then.

RIP. Tony was one of the good guys.

Another Anthony to be missed. So sad. May Mr. Blankley Rest In Peace and our prayers are with his loved ones. Prayers for Tony Snow’s loved ones too.

That must have been the same show I saw. Wondered then where he had been but he looked a lot different. Now I know why.

RIP Mr. Tony Blankley

Wow! I didn’t even know he was sick. RIP Tony. Yours was a voice of reason in the chaotic world of politics.

[ScottinVA]

This is a terrible shock!! I`m only learning of this now. Just damn... RIP Tony..

Tony Blankley was a keen analyst and a wonderful writer. On top of this, he promoted Conservatism from deep wellsprings. He will indeed be missed.

[Cicero]

A good man. May he rest in peace.

I am saddened to hear this. I always liked him. He was one of my favorites. Gene Bartow, who was a basketball coach at Memphis State, UCLA and Birmingham, also died this week of stomach cancer. He was another one that I thought of so highly. RIP
