Oh--this one is from the Detroit News! You may know that Tony wrote for them before he went to Washington. That is where my dh and I first 'met' him. I wasn't very interested in politics then (he wrote for them in '84-87--I was in my early to mid 20's), but his writing certainly caught my eye! I am going to email the cartoonist to let him know how much I liked this one.
Thanks for posting!
This one is very cute (but of course anything right now that is funny regarding Tony is also heartwrenching): Fatherhood after Father's Day--Tony Snow
Also this Washington Times editorial is very good.
The closing paragraphs:
"When the late Woody West, the executive editor at the time, recruited Tony he told me: 'We got a gem.´ And so we did. I´ll remember Tony as a Christian and a gentleman who took his job but not himself seriously, rare in these precincts, who succeeded in Washington - and never forgot that his wife, Jill, and their children were what his success in life was really all about." About that "rarity," and about being "a Christian and a gentleman."
It would be harder to devise an apter description of Tony Snow. The man married civility with conviction each day with gestures small and large, treating alike the weak and powerful while challenging and provoking, in a city where merely to have either real civility or strong and lasting conviction is uncommon enough. Away from the camera, and away from print, the real man was revealed. Tony lived witness to his Christian conviction that each of us is touched by God and worthy of God's grace."
