adult : choices : news related : IT WILL NEVER SNOW IN WASHINGTON AGAIN... [+] serious ballot by Barbara_Baby_Cakes ACTIVE Sat Jul 12, 08 - Sun Jul 12, 09 WASHINGTON - Tony Snow, a conservative writer and commentator who cheerfully sparred with reporters in the White House briefing room during a stint as President Bush’s press secretary, has died of colon cancer, Fox News reported Saturday. Snow was 53 years old. Snow, who served as the first host of the television news program “Fox News Sunday” from 1996 to 2003, would later say that in the Bush administration he was enjoying “the most exciting, intellectually aerobic job I’m ever going to have.” He served just 17 months as press secretary, a tenure interrupted by his second bout with cancer. In 2005 doctors had removed his colon and he began six months of chemotherapy. In March 2007 a cancerous growth was removed from his abdominal area and he spent five weeks recuperating before returning to the White House. He resigned as Bush’s chief spokesman six months later, in September 2007, citing not his health but a need to earn more than the $168,000 a year he was paid in the government post. In April, he joined CNN as a commentator. Although a star in conservative politics, as a commentator he had not always been on the president’s side. He once called Bush “something of an embarrassment” in conservative circles and criticized what he called Bush’s “lackluster” domestic policy. Most of Snow’s career in journalism involved expressing his conservative views. After earning a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Davidson College in North Carolina in 1977 and studying economics and philosophy at the University of Chicago, he wrote editorials for The Greensboro (N.C.) Record, and The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk. Robert Anthony Snow was born June 1, 1955, in Berea, Ky., and spent his childhood in the Cincinnati area. Survivors include his wife, Jill Ellen Walker, whom he married in 1987, and three children. You may or may not agreed with his politics, however, he was a man who did his job as he saw best. No, I did not agree with him politically, however, prior to him joining the Bush Administration, he stood up and called Bush Administation as for what it was at this time and continue to be. So, what say you, what say you all, what are your opinions about a man who was only a human being who did it all his way with the belief that he was guided by his principles...I enjoyed his sense of humor, RIP Antonio... Tony Snow was a class act. Tony Snow was a Political Flip Flopper. Tony Snow will be missed. Tony Snow spoke the truth about the Bush Administration, until he became an employee. Tony Snow was one of the true good guys in Washington. Tony Snow ended up being one of many Bush puppets.
