Found these thoughts of Tony given by Tom Brokaw:
Remembering Tony Snow: As NBC’s Tom Brokaw said Sunday on “Meet the Press,” it’s been a tough year for Washington. Tony Snow fought a valiant fight against cancer.
His ability to stay optimistic during all this was inspirational. He made the transition from politics to journalism (and back) with grace.
He didn’t hide who he was, but treated his partisan opponents with class. It’s why Snow was so popular. Trust us: Good luck finding a Democrat who has bad things to say about Tony.
Sure, he may have been a partisan, but the guy was simply nice. He wasn’t someone who participated in the cheap shot culture of our business.
Finally, the thing we political junkies loved about Tony was his ability not to take himself too seriously — whether emcee-ing a comedy show or playing his music — he showed it was OK to have a good time, even during the most heated times.
Washington’s going to miss Tony’s smarts, class, optimism, and sense of humor.
The funeral seems to be over......
Have missed everyone! Have been taking a break during the Presidential Campaign.....depressing times! But, as I said, couldn’t stay away when it came to remembering Tony! Have definitely missed you, New Jersey!!
Lovely words from a fellow journalist.
Watched the Fox crew come out. Major Garrett upset, someone next to him was wiping his eyes.
Just sae Mike Emanuel, Major + another man, really wiping his eyes with hanky.
*sniffle*
Just make sure that payroll goes out!
May the angels lead you into Paradise.
May the martyrs come to greet you on the way.
May they lead you home to the holy city,
to the new and eternal Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels come to welcome you.
May they take you to the arms of Abraham,
where Lazarus is poor no longer,
and there may you find rest, rest eternal.
No Clinton, laughing then wiping his eyes when he sees the camera, in this group!
Thanks CedarDave.
Is anyone still watching the feed? Was that Bill O’Riley? That guy is a giant! I had no idea he was that tall.
Thanks, LUV W!
Yes, Bill O. looked sad and contemplative didn’t he?
Looks like they turned the feed off.
Just lost video....
I saw that! He was really crying...and it brought fresh
tears to my eyes, too.
