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.
Hi! You’re right! We Snowflakes need to get together to keep the prayers flowing for Tony!! Good to see you here!
Hi!
Just wanted to keep you guys in the loop if you hadn’t seen this.
Ditto on the prayers for Tony. [And for the family since they no doubt worry more than Tony does over these episodes.]
If you want on, or off, the Tony Snow ping list, please FReepMail dinasour.

Gotta go but will check back later.
God love him... Prayers up.
Thanks so much for the ping, dinasour. I hadn’t known Tony was in the hospital. Prayers up for him.
> Gotta go but will check back later.
If you hear anything new, let us know.
I was a bit late, too. FReepin’ tends to slow down late in the afternoon.
> Update: A CNN spokesperson tells TVNewser, “He will not be on tonight; we look forward to having him on in the next few days.”

We haven’t had a lot of information yet, but all indications are that it is not real serious (hopefully).
Tony’s been burning his candle at both ends lately.
Hoping that this is not serious.
Prayers for you to be well very soon, Tony!
