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.
Sorry to hear this. Hope it’s NOT something that can’t be rectified shortly.
Best wishes to you Tony. Our thoughts and prayers will be directed to you and your family.
Get well soon bud.

For the Sick
Merciful Jesus, during Your life on earth You showed great concern for the sick and the infirm. Have compassion now on all those who are sick or in pain. Grant them a healing of mind and body and restore their strength and spirit.
Comfort them with the knowledge that we are praying for them, and give them peace with a sense of Your Presence. May they know that in a special way they are united with You, their suffering Christ. May they contribute to the welfare of the whole People of God by associating themselves freely with Your Passion and Death for the salvation of the world. Bless, too, those who take care of the sick. In their own time of need, bestow on them a hundredfold the blessings they have given to others. Amen.

Prayers for Tony and a speedy recovery
Tony, you’ve done enough! Go rest!
We’re praying for you, Tony.
What a decent man.
Prayers for Tony - he’s overworking, I think to make sure his family is provided for...
Obviously being whisked in for a routine “moral relativism” implant. I hear it’s required for employment at CNN. As a conservative, he only gets the small one. ;-)
Prayers up for Tony.
Prayers in Jesus’ Name for quickly restored health for Tony (and many more healthy years!)
Prayers for you and all who love you...(including several thousand FReepers)
