Fox News is announcing that Tony Snow has died.
Heartbreaking news.
I will be tuning in, believe it.
Absolutely one of the great ones. I always said he should have been his Press Secretary from day one of the start of the second term for Bush. He would have saved a lot of messes from happening due to Scott the scumbag.
What a great individual he was. So smart. Great sarcasm. A talent that will be greatly missed. I remember watching The Factor about 2 months ago and he had Tony on the phone when the McClellan story broke and he was asked how he was feeling and he said he was trying to get over a bad cold.
The chemo did him in.
So sad to see a fellow Freeper go as well.
RIP Tony...you WILL be missed.
Prayers tumbling out for Tony's family and close friends ... I wonder sometimes if God allows our minds to lose coherency in old age so the holes made by losses during our lifetime are not so noticeable in the end? But god how the hole-punching takes your breath away when they happen.
Travel well, Tony.
I was struck by the light in Tony's eyes and face during his last months. He was a truly good man.
God Speed Tony, reach for the stars, you will be missed by millions and all of us here.
Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot tell you how saddened I am by Tony’s passing. My wife called me and broke the news to me. I was fortunate to be able to talk to Tony on his radio show on two occasions. The first to relate that AlGore, after one of his crazy rants, was a “hamburger short to of a happy meal”, which brought laughter from Tony. The second, was to break the news that he was to be named the President’s Press Secretary, which brought an explanation as to his thinking for taking or not taking the job. I will miss him tremendously and pray for him and his family. His wit and good nature, in this politically rancid environment, will be missed.
We have lost one of the real good guys today! God speed, Tony!
What a beautiful shot of Tony in a flight suit, gathering his children close and hugging them, with a little American flag fluttering in the breeze.
Now I can’t see the screen again!
FNC is interspersing their news with little snips of Tony. I especially loved his comment to Helen that when he reached her age he would enjoy making the Press Secretary’s life miserable—or words to that effect.
Lord of all, have mercy on his family and sustain them in their time of sorrow.
Tony was a class person. I knew him briefly about ten years ago, and exchanged emails for a while. America has lost a great spirit.
I must leave for a bit and get some things accomplished (Tony would not like a slacker), but I would like to thank everyone who joined this thread to remember Tony Snow.
It reminded me what great people you all are.
Tears falling..I feel like I have lost a dear friend..I am so grateful we had him for a time.
Rest in God’s arms, Tony Snow..You gave us hope and lifted us up.
May the Lord comfort all of Tony’s loved ones.
Beautiful. I grieve. Thank you, Miss Didi.
This one’s for Tony and those who were regulars on the radio show threads...

Tony, Rest In Peace.
Dita, my son in law visited with Tony in the airport when he was on the way to that cancelled speech..He was charming and my son in law was so impressed and thrilled to have had the opportunity to meet him...
I don’t cry...Tears are falling. I am thankful we had Tony..The loss is great. A good man.
Tony’s ;last post to YOU!
Terribly sad whenever anyone so young leaves us.
Prayers for his loving wife and children, for his entire family and all of his many friends.
I am having trouble with knowing that Fox is having a tribute tonight but with O'Reily, Greta and (erck!) Geraldo. I'll never forget when O'Reilly called Tony a 'pinhead' on his show one night. Tony looked a little shocked but then laughed and continued on to make his point.
I would have preferred Britt and Major Garret and also Brian Wilson (who just spoke so sweetly of Tony just now)
