We printed out all the comments from that thread and we were deeply touched. This is a special place.

Maybe you should star if not a book maybe a blog on it others may find it most helpful.

My first choice to play Tony Snow was Kurt Cameron.
Yeah... the guy from “Growing Pains”. He’s a wonderful
Christian. His wife could play Jill. The critics
would have none of that, I’m sure.

He sure was a cute kid. (Kurt) I had a crush.

I wish I had read more of them

I sure will. I sent an email to her yesterday (she is deployed over in the sandpit until the fall) and she was very upset. We used to do our own mother/daughter versions of THUD when Tony was on Fox and when he was doing pressers for Pres Bush.

I thought that as well and if you remember one of the criteria he cited before accepting the press secretary position was access to the President including access to all policy meetings (obviously within reason there may have been ones for security clearance reasons he could not attend).

Well when you “see” her and when you see her give her a hug from us.

[Jo Nuvark]

I’m laughing at your crush on Kurt Russell
(me too), because I thought you were a guy.

It has been interesting no one I can remember has mentioned Scott even when footage is shown of the day Tony accepted the position and Scott is there that fact has been totally ignored

You pinged me about a British American difference well here is another one in Britain Smarties are larger M and Ms.

Smarties in Britain are called Swizzlers.

ROFLMAO! When I first went on line, I was single and a bit afraid that I would attract the wrong element. I was a Criminal Justice major, so I chose a masculine screen name.

Not sure of the details but has been mentioned a couple of times though ill as he was Tony Snow several times recently inquired after and sent wishes for her recovery.

[snugs]

Oh no that is sad

[MinuteGal]

I couldn't bring up previous posts by "SurferBoy" on "search".

I think once these media folks are outed on Free Republic, the account is expunged and it's the end of the line. Too bad.

I understand it, though.

What does Jill Snow look like?

[snugs]

That means they were told very early about it then. I believe the President was told about 7.00am maybe he contacted or asked his parents to be contacted straight away.

Have to admit at 47 I am not too young :o)

Illness Sidelines Helen Thomas for Past Three Weeks

By Joe Strupp

Published: June 09, 2008 12:20 PM ET

NEW YORK Washington, D.C. legend Helen Thomas has been off the job for the past three weeks suffering from a gastric infection that has caused her to miss her weekly column for Hearst Newspapers, according to Hearst D.C. Bureau Chief Chuck Lewis.

Lewis said Thomas, 87, was hit with the illness on May 18 and has not written a column since May 14. Her weekly columns are distributed each Wednesday to all 500 clients of Hearst News Service.

“She is being treated for an infection and is on leave,” Lewis told E&P Monday. “She became ill and has been recovering ever since. We expect her back, but I am not sure when. We have been moving a note [to Hearst clients] that she is away and her column will resume when she does.”

Lewis said recent conversations with Thomas indicate “she is getting stronger and we expect her back, but not this week.”

Or maybe he does not count kooks in his comments.
