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.

Yes, I learned belatedly. Thanx for thinking of me. Word is that if the doc OK's it, Tony will be on for BOR tomorrow and many of the SnowFlakes hope to gather for it.

Ditto on the prayers for Tony. [And for the family since they no doubt worry more than Tony does over these episodes.]

If you hear anything new, let us know.

I was a bit late, too. FReepin’ tends to slow down late in the afternoon.

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.
