Thanks for the information. I’m glad he is, at some point, returning to a normal, and hopefully healthy life.
“Career life expectancy” for White House Spokesmen is about half a term, isn’t it? I do know that when George Snuggleupolis left the Clinton White House early to make the bucks in network TV, there wasn’t this kind of scrutiny or cynicism.
If it’s about making a better living, I’m glad he is leaving (at some point). I was just concerned that there was something else behind the decision. His ability to thwart unfair and poorly premised questions from the media has been extremely valuable, and has significantly reduced the number of “lectures to the President” by the White House Press Corp that get played on the network news everynight. I’m glad he could take them on and put them back where they belong... as reporters, not newsmakers.
Tony has been very straightforward about his condition and his situation. Those of us who care about him may worry more than is necessary.
