I wish him best of luck with his health. God bless him.
The question is becoming, will President Bush have anyone left in his cabinet by the time his term is over. It's like watching people run out of a burning building; everyone is trying to flee at once.
No fair! David Gregory will walk all over the cute but wifty Dana Perino.
Well here's proof that if you deceive people, and lie on a day basis it can really have a negative effect on your health. I'm wondering if that sweet salary/"contributions"/$$$ tastes as good as it does now.
I wish him well in his battle with cancer and I hope to see him son back on Fox news.
All I really have to say is good riddance.
Just another in a long line of paid liars.
Good health to you Tony and your family. We hope and pray for your recovery.
How unfortunate for Mr. Snow that $168,000 a year just isn't enough to manage his finances. Though sympathetic to his cancer illness, I'm not sympathetic whatsoever about his having to get by on such a 'paltry' salary.
Good another Bush loyalist and water carrier will be gone. Bring on the new lying press secretary. America just can't wait.
It's rough that he has cancer. I feel for him in that area. But his disgusting behavior as a Bush Apologist just shows you that some put their party and their jobs ahead of the well-being of their country.
Who cares?
Now he can go back to Fox Noise, as if he ever actually left. Good riddance!
I wish him all the best. I followed his career on fox news and at the white house, and he has handled both well. I know he has said he would be living due to financial concerns. We also know he has had some medical problems. I'm guessing the huge healthcare cost and huge health insurance cost that most Americans face including Tony might be the cause of his retirement.
I would like to see the public show their support for Tony who is battling cancer by setting up a fund to help him financially. I can't even imagine what he is going through now battling this cancer and at the same time worry about the well being of his family and children's education. Since he made the sacrifice to serve I think it will be human for us to financially support him in any little way we can by setting up a fund. My prayers are with him and I know that God will help him and his family get through this challenge.
He is a good man and I wish him well. Tony is one of the smartest people in the Bush Administration. He is also very genuine in character, which is refreshing these days. Dana does indeed have some very large shoes to fill.
What’s up?
Everybody’s quitting the Bush Administration!
Ugghhh... Dana Perino – the biggest pushover of a press secretary one has ever known! This woman has no political savvy and doesn't possess the ability to express one thought outside the Talking Points. She has no talent.
Good Luck and God Bless Mr. Snow. May he have strength, faith and courage in his fight. A job well done!
Tony Snow has been an entertaining and successful Presidential Press Secretary, (notoriously one of the hardest jobs in government). I wish him all the best in battling his illness.
