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 am so thankful that you are out of the hospital and are resting at home. Please REALLY rest! You are such a work-aholic!

Prayers will continue for you to gain your strength back. I was sorry to have missed O’Reilly today. Work happened! *sigh*

Pace yourself!

I’m back home and doing fine — although I lost a little weight in the hospital.

Excellent.

“Prayer has power because God does.”

And our Lord is (despite the humanist babble to the contrary) always on top of things.

“He who watches over Israel neither slumbers, nor sleeps...”

Hey, Tony - please - do us all a favor, and get in touch with Ted Nugent, and set up a regular meet-time on-air with you...at least once every couple of weeks or so.

He is an absolute kick, and his occasional spots on your old radio show were flowing with a unique energy as the two of you played expertly off of one another.

A.A.C.

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.

I know I'm late but when I heard of this over the radio on my nightly walk, I was concerned and said a little prayer. I'm glad you're doing OK and be sure to give Bill Maher a run for his money on Monday. Take care and God Bless.

Prayers continue for your restored health!

(If yours represents what’s supposed to be an easy work schedule, mine must be catatonic.) ;)

Oh, gosh, I just saw this on the sidebar! You take care of yourself, Tony Snow! WE need you!

No more of this “exhaustion” stuff. You are too important to us to have that happen.

P.S. You are ALWAYS in my prayers. Take care.

Always, Sing!
