Tony Snow Dies

It was sad enough when we found out Tony Snow had cancer. It got worse after learning it came back. Now, we find out the energetic, passionate, entertaining conservative voice has left us.
More than being the White House press secretary when the Bush administration really needed communications help I’ll remember Snow for being the best fill-in for Rush Limbaugh. His smooth voice and humor were perfect for radio. Snow made you want to listen for the full three hours and only sort-of miss Rush.
Limbaugh called Fox News to talk about Tony:
Here’s a great speech that gave many conservatives hope from CPAC 2008.
James Joyner put together a blogosphere roundup.
Godspeed, Tony.

Why does Tony Snow walk to the podium if all he can speak is thin, sniping clatter? Let’s presume Tony Snow is mathematically imprudent. If so, then we must then determine whether his tongue is sweet and breezy, like a furnace, or just dainty.
Satisfaction no longer comes from Tony Snow. It is now sought in Rush Limbaugh’s accusation that Tony Snow’s cancer was announced for the White House’s political gain. Announced for Tony Snow’s value as a commodity.
