Tony was always honest. He said that the money became an issue and so he quit.

He was also a positive person so that’s all we know because he never whined.

Just a beautiful tribute. Thanks so much for posting it, Ali.

If anyone has stored up tears they need to release, this
is for you. Grab a few tissues.

PS

Politico/Mike Allen did a surprisingly nice tribute to Tony.

Bahbah is right; Dana Perino does a fine job as WH Press Secretary and she doesn’t cede an inch.

That’s so kind of you. ((hugs)) I can’t imagine what it would be. He worked so hard .. so many long hours ... to provide for we 3 kids. Because of that, we really had pretty rare 1-on-1 time with him. It is absolutely the life-altering event of my life .. no doubt about it. Everything changed dramatically thereafter. And the times then were very very different. I really could write a book .... ;)

We were lucky to have had great patriots like Mr Capra and Mr Berlin! I didn’t know that about Mrs. Berlin - thanks for the info!

There are some jewels out there these days that you wouldn’t consider to be fairly conservative. Alice Cooper (Vincent F Furnier) is reputed to be a fairly conservative man, which is at odds a bit with his public persona.

So there you go - Irving Berlin to Alice Cooper! :-)

If you did ping me, all the music posts have gotten it lost.

I'll go look at it...I don't know if my aching heart can take much more....

I have dedicated my tunes today to Tony.

Scroll back to see other tunes. I just felt the need to do this.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

God bless you Tony. You lifted me up and gave me hope.
Now your reward is in heaven as the Lord receives you
into His outstretched arms and says, “well done, good
and faithful servant”.

1. William F. Buckley
2. Tim Russert
3. Tony Snow

Seems to always be in threes. I don’t know why.

We had SUCH entertaining, thoughtful and informative times on the Snowflake threads, didn’t we?

We sure did.

Quite a few years ago someone said that the live threads reminded them of chats with the neighbors over the backyard fence. That always stuck with me, because it seemed so to be such a great description.

I had to take a break to make pizza for dinner and was thinking, wouldn’t it be great if all Tony’s friends and admirers could gather for a giant pizza party and share the joy he brought all of us. Actually, all that’s missing here is the pizza!

LOL! I totally agree. :-)

This is quite interesting with Andy Card and BOR.

Card is saying that when Tony was a speechwriter for Bush 41, he almost helped shape policy....

That is a perfect description! Chats over the fence in the back yard. I am really going to miss the live threads.

I find it interesting that Andrew Card said they were trying to get Tony on board as press secretary back when he was first diagnosed. That means that they were trying to find a replacement for ol Scotty boy.
