Tony Snow cancels speeches at EWU

SPOKANE -- Former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has canceled a series of speaking engagements at Eastern Washington University because of illness.

Snow was supposed to make a series of appearances Tuesday at EWU. However, he was taken to the hospital to be treated for exhaustion, in consultation with his doctor, according to a source at the University.

The source said he checked into the hospital at 9:30 a.m.

Snow was diagnosed with colon cancer several years ago, and he left his position as press secretary for President Bush in September to deal with the disease. He has said the cancer is in remission.

This week, Snow was hired by CNN to be a conservative commentator. Before being named Press Secretary, he spent several years working at CNN rival Fox News.

On Monday, Tony Snow appeared on KXLY 920 AM's Newscope with Mike Fitzsimmons.

KXLY.com's Brian Clark, KXLY 4's Janet O and the Associated Press contributed to this story.

Thanx for the ping, Primetimedonna.

From what I hear, Tony still wants to do his Friday sub for Bill O’Reilly [Fri: 12N-2pm EDT] which Fox Radio streams for those who don't get it on their radios. [Let's hope his doc agrees.]

Hopefully, the Snowman will update us himself so let's circle Friday on the calendar and plan to be here.

In the mean time, Tony is added to the prayer list until he is back doing his aerobics.

My maternal grandmother is going to be 100 years old in September. She is physically and intellectually strong. When she was in her late 30’s she had uterine cancer. When she was in her early 60’s she had colon cancer. When she was in her early 70’s she had breast cancer. Each time the prognosis was not the best.

Today Grandma enjoys life and has no immediate desire to
leave us!

God bless you.

Prayers to our Lord for one suvivor from another.
