In a busy day of campaigning today, President Bush made two fundraising appearances starting with a reception for Representative Rick Renzi in Scottsdale, Arizona where he also signed H.R. 5441 - the Homeland Security Appropriations Act funding the border fence - and then a reception for Colorado gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez in Englewood, Colorado. In his speeches he emphasized the importance of electing Republicans in the interest of our nation's security and strength.

Also today First Lady Laura appeared at two Republican fundraisers, one for Representative Curt Weldon in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and later for Representative Tom Reynolds in Amherst, New York and was interviewed on a youth radio station in Buffalo and attended a mock trial.

In addition, the Bush economy achieved new heights today as the Dow closed at 11,850...........the highest in history!

Today we are doing a special tribute, not only to our great President, but also to our friend and fellow Freeper, Tony Snow. If you'd like to contribute comments, we welcome your input, but we ask that all comments remain positive toward both the President and Tony to keep this our 'Sanity Island.'

This is for you, Tony...............you are a perfect compliment to the President whom we deeply respect and admire. You are a Godly man - witty, intelligent and combative in a gentlemanly sort of way, just as he is, and have proven to be the perfect spokesman for President Bush. You are, as he is, a joy to watch as you defend the facts against the onslaught of seemingly braindead pseudo-journalists' attacks disguised as questions, and we smile every day as you clean their intellectual clocks in defense of the President's strong, well reasoned, pro-American policies.

Many of us have prayed for you through your illness, thanking God for your recovery, and as you made the difficult decision to leave broadcasting to become President Bush's Press Secretary, and we thank God for not only your health but also your decision to sacrifice much to serve your country as you serve the President.

We know that you are self-effacing and humble (another characteristic you share with your boss), and won't take credit for the changes in style at the White House, but we also know that you have had a hand in a stronger, feistier White House presentation, and for that we thank you.

On this thread we express our deep and well-founded admiration for President Bush daily, but on this day, we have chosen to include you in our tribute to jobs well done.

Thank you, Tony, for all you do for your country, your President, and us!

Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose! These are great times to be a Bushbot..........AND a Snowflake!!

A "bookmarker" for sure. :)

I don't know..........but the dreaded red x is showing up for me.....

That graphic danced in sync with Tony's Theme song! It was too funny!

I remember when I first heard that Tony might go to work for the President.

None of us knew what his decision would be.

I said, "Whatever decision that he made, I will be a little happy, and a little sad".

If Tony stayed on the air, I would be happy that I could still talk to "the teacher".

If Tony became Press Secretary, I would be happy for the President and our Country.

They may make fun of Tony as "the teacher". For some of us, he really was, and was a real reporter that I could trust.

God bless you. Do your best, and try to come back

With my other FR 'duties' I didn't have time to frequent the Tony thread.

I'm very sorry about that......

Thanks to you oWf.

I DO NOT REMEMBER TONY'S MUSIC! HOW SAD IS THAT!

Note my tagline. Tony called me that!

And of course:

We had more fun on that thread. What made it so special was Tony posting to it. Radioproducer (Tony's producer) also posted each day. It made us feel so special, and the "Snowflakes" always knew how much we were appreciated.

Tony truly loved his audience. We love Tony!

[dinasour]

> I DO NOT REMEMBER TONY'S MUSIC! HOW SAD IS THAT!

Me too. I have some recordings. I'll try to find it, later.

[tiredoflaundry]

LOL! I wish I was able to go there that day!

[ohioWfan]

Is the song recorded somewhere so that we could get a link to it?

[ohioWfan]

And the love was well deserved..........on both sides. :)

Tony, in earlier times:

A little later....

[HonestConservative]

Don't know. Seems like dina has a leg up on that one

[HonestConservative]

I'd pull him out of line for secondary screening, wouldn't you?

[dinasour]

I like this picture, as well.

My contacts at Reuters assure me that it is real.
