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.
I’ve been wondering about Tony, and thanks to you, dinasour, for this ping. Still praying for that good man.
Yes, it did. Thanks for asking. How have you been?
Thanks.
Of course, I think I made a similar mistake when I posted a thread when I wasn't bent out of shape. [Maybe I am just permanently bent?!] 8)
I have heard nothing new, so am sitting on pins and needles, and prayers and optimism, waiting for the FRIDAY BOR show.
Maybe, Tony will post a comment when he gets the chance. [Hint, hint.]
Glad to hear that—I was worried about you!
I’ve been doing great except I missed Tony’s broadcast last Friday. I need to de-clutter my brain and my closets! Isn’t it great to see so many Snowflakes and fans on board?
Your mind may be willing, but at some point, your body says, “Stop it! Your’re not 17 anymore”.
I suffer from that ailment too!
Hey, R. Good to see you here among Tony’s friends. Trust you are feeling good, too, as you are one of the Don’s favorite “enforcers”!
Prayers going up Tony~
We love you!
I wish I could listen on Fridays. If I get off at noon CST by the time I get home and get the program on, I get about 20 minutes of Tony. :(
We sure do love you Tony! Prayers up for you and yours!
Glad you’re out of the hospital Tony. Go home now rest and eat some real food.
Hospital food seems to have just one taste and flavor — hospital food.

“Tony Snow discharged from Spokane hospital”
Associated Press - April 24, 2008 2:55 PM ET
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP
I saw Tony a couple weeks ago in Chicago and he looked really great and was full of energy, but with stage IV cancer, your life turns on a dime. Hang in there, Tony.
To All,
Thanks for your prayers and support. You know they mean more to me than I can put in words. Prayer has power because God does.
I’m back home and doing fine — although I lost a little weight in the hospital. It wasn’t exhaustion, but i thought it best not to go into particulars. I may do so on O’Reilly today (Friday). I’ll probably do some CNN during the late afternoon (Eastern time) as well. Then I’ll sleep all weekend. Next week — LA on Monday to Debate Bill Maher; Phoenix on Tuesday at the Center for Arizona Policy; something in DC on Wednesday; Wounded Warriors in NYC on Thursday. The following week also is insane, but then things slow down. I promise, I’ll start taking it easier.
But again, thanks — and God bless you all!
God bless you Tony. You are a national treasure.
God be with you, Tony. All of us at FR respect and love you for your dedication and service to the country, and as a strong advocate for religious and political freedom.
God bless you Tony, Cancer us full of the unknowns. Take care of yourself and rest when needed.
“Prayer has power because God does.”
Yes He does.
Amen.
Praying for you Tony!
D
Tony,
Please take care and if you need anything, just let us know and we’ll do our best to help you. I can’t tell you how much I and all the others in the audience enjoyed your talk at the ASCRS meeting in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Everyone is still talking about it and saying what an amazing source of energy and inspiration you are! One life touches so many. God bless you and your family.
