Sad news . . . I always enjoyed watching/listening to him and thought he was one of the best White House Press Secretaries as far as handling the media.

He was a great guy and a lot fairer to his political enemies than they were to him.

RIP Tony.

something I didn't know until I read an AP story about him was that he was born in Berea, KY. I went to college there.

I also enjoyed watching Mr. Snow, I thought he was doing better? He was a good guy. RIP Tony Snow.

I thought the same thing. As recently as a couple of months ago I thought I had seen him saying that things were looking better.

Yeah, I thought he was doing better as well. He was a great Press Secretary (fun to watch hime give the media libs a hard time) and I enjoyed him on Fox too. Sad to hear. R.I.P.

I used to listen to his radio show before he quit to be Press Secretary. He seemed too nice to be on radio.

Sad, he mother also died from colon cancer at 38, when he was 17.

I went to college where Snow did. Like many alums there, we might disagree with his politics, but we respect his intellect and fairness and common respect for others. He did a lot for Davidson and was proud to call it his alma mater.

Any conservative who goes on the Daily Show deserves props.

RIP.

BTW, one of my favorite restaurants is in Berea - Boone Tavern. I haven't been there in 15+ years, but we used to hit it on the way to see my brother in college in Ohio. Loved that place.

He certainly came across as a very likable personality with amazing patience and very level headed. We have lost a lot of good ones this year haven't we?

I don't want to turn this into a Kos rant (I know they are outliers) but the reaction over there is crazy. The most amazing reactions to me are:

1. The visceral hatred expressed.
2. The inability to separate political disagreement from this hatred and
3. The apparent confusion by some that Snow could be both "good and evil". There's a diarist who talks (respectfully) about friends of his that were friends of the Snows. His friends are liberal but somehow they liked Snow! The author seems genuinely surprised and a bit confused that someone with such opposing views could be likable but he must have been because the author's liberal friends truly loved the man. Could it be that the mouthpiece of evil was actually a good and likeable human? It's odd/ironic that a so called "progressive" group of folks hold such narrow views.

Tony was both a scholar and a gentleman...two virtues lost on many people these days.

RIP Tony.

The AP apparently took a shot at him in his obit. I'm paraphrasing, but it was along the lines of a popular likeable guy, even though he didn't always have the facts straight. That's low.
