Tony Snow was a highly intelligent man whom many of our generation saw as the mouthpiece of the Bush Administration. But as he passes from this life to the next, let us remember him as a man of intelligence who got to do a lot more than any of us ever would consider of doing
My favorite memory of him is watching him give a speech on some inane topic (genocide this and famine that) in the white house and suddenly noticing the eyeball jellies on his podium. His reaction was amusing and entertaining.
The man liked baseball and loved his family and gave courage to those who would battle cancer and their families would would battle it as well.
Good bye, Tony.
You fought a good fight.

working in the white house and battling cancer a lot longer than anyone thought and yet looking quite attractive

Something about the way this is written comes off as amazingly stupid. Like, they're reaching really hard for a comment from him.
Amazing
I particularly liked the Raditz one and the Tommy Lee Two-Face

Willing to sacrifice.
My love.
then i comprehended tony snow and i don't even know who that is
If a person supports an opposing ideology it is because they are evil and horrible and thus you should rejoice in their early and untimely demise. However, if they support your political platform you are to forgive them all trespasses regardless of degree for their intention is surely always in the right place.

Has anyone seen my arm?! You can't miss it it's green!!
Does being the WH spokesperson automatically make you a member of whichever party is in power? Honest question.

If it's Bush's administration it makes you guilty of every Iraq war death apparently.
They can't all be Strom Thermond and John McCain.
It's not like you're a non-partisan government employee who just waits around between administrations. Each administration hires one, usually (at least initially) the person who was their national spokesperson during the campaign.
Also, Butters, I think it takes more than opposing viewpoints to get people on here to be totally callous. Remember how happy everyone was when Falwell and (just recently) Helms died? Because they were both terrible awful bigots who used their power to promote and institutionalize discrimination and hatred as much as they could. This makes them reprehensible human beings pretty much automatically.
Snow, while he didn't go so far, blatantly and repeatedly lied, in a doublespeak manner that was typical of the Bush administration. I think this was one of the things that has been most damaging about Bush -- more than disregard for truth and facts, but an active, aggressive attempt to hide or destroy facts when they were negative to the administration. Lying and manipulation of the public is hardly new in politics, but they took it to an entirely new level. Arguably, they were even more destructive than Nixon. Nixon hid his own misdeeds, but the Bush administration not only hid their own doings, but did all in their power to suppress, distort, or outright deny open and evidenced facts.
Any distortion of the truth that severe and that endemic is, in my opinion, a terrible crime against the country.
I'm not dancing on Tony's grave or anything -- dude was too young and had a family, but I still think you're misunderstanding where some of the anger here is coming from
I don't think I am. I think he's guilty of probably all the same things any WH press secretary would be. He's not a policy maker, he's paid to give the opinion of the administration and that's going to involve whatever spin is required to do so.
Also, I can't help but think of Ted Kennedy when see some people's reaction.
Well yeah I mean when Teddy kicks it a bunch of us will be sad and you and defender and pip will be all awww jeah and we'll yell at you just like you're doing now and there's nothing wrong with that because that's America
I just think of all the people in this administration to take a callous attitude towards you guys jump on Tony Snow? A fucking reporter with a family who died a painful death at relatively young age?
And where exactly was I yelling at anyone?
And here we have a younger man who has just died from a similar disease, and all you poor bastards can think about is his politicality. I mourn the loss of any life, and the fact that you guys are so incredibly heartless... why don't you guys think about someone other than yourselves? I know that must be difficult for you, but for the sake of his family and children please try.
oh god what is this world coming to!
but yeah, fuck tony snow and his dead ass
I hoped he died a horrible death preferably trapped in a car.
You can't fight a fire hose with a squirt gun.
He's a hypocritical panderer.
He claims he wants to clean up the environment and reduce oil dependence, but put wind farms 90 miles off the New England coast? Fuck that. That might lower his property value.
