Why has no one in the media investigated why a top-salaried government employee whose previous job was as a top salaried media talker has to resign for "financial reasons"? I don't care if he's mismanaged his money. Is it medical costs? And if so, what does that say about the less affluents' ability to pay for their medical care?
I doubt that Tony Snow has to worry about paying for medical care.
That's for peons like the average American.
He is quitting because of the money!!
He didn't know before he accepted the gig that
he had children? That said children would get older and go to college? $180,000 a year is too little? This man ain't living in the real world, he has been in the Bush bubble for too long.

Actually, it is a rewording of the standard ReTHUGlican mantra "I need to spend more time with my family".
Translation: "I'm getting outta here before they catch me in the men's room with a cop".
I wish him well.
I still can't understand how someone can experience a life-altering event like terminal cancer and still embrace the same narrow hateful politics, but there you are.
Does Tony have loved ones? That's how.
Yeah he's got loved ones, there all in his bank account.
Predictions:
1. At some point Dana Perino is caught making out in a bathroom stall with Ann Coulter.
2. Tony Snow writes a book, "Don't Tar Baby the Messenger". Foreword by Baghdad Bob.
As we bid farewell to Tony Snowjob, let's all give a hearty welcome to Beltway Barbie.
Poor tony, couldn't make it on that measly $168,000 K a year. That's over $80 / hour. Try working for minimum wage for a few years dick head.
'typical hateful vitriol from huffers and puffers. he's a class act. a good guy, a good family man and he was in a tough job at a really tough time in his life.'
Allow me to translate from BushBot speak;
'typical accurate assessment of another Dumbya toadie. he's a lying, deceitful, duplicitous sonofabitch, who took the job of bullshitting the nation of behalf of the worst, most corrupt, utterly inept administration in the history of the United States; nothing less than you'd expect from a Fox News whore.'
There, I'm sure that's what you were getting at.
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to say.
WARNER RESIGNS!!!
No, he is not going to run again. Big difference.
So Big Girl Panties is gonna replace ol' Colostomy Bag, huh? What a circus.
Big Girl Panties? LOL
bush's loss is fox's gain. he wanted to get a fox contract while bush is still in office, cause when bush's ass is gone, all of his buds will be scrambling for cover
Tony Snow is the smoothest liar I have ever seen, and I'm related to some experts in the field. In my book that makes him an A-list sociopath. At least Scott McClellan had the decency to sweat and stammer when he was spewing BS.
While I would never wish a cancer death on anyone, I won't be sorry to see him leave the White House. He may have finally realized that karma's a bitch and that his job is killing him.
Ahhhhhhh..
They're hoping putting up a doe eyed blonde Faux Snooze newsbunny type will temper the press corp's willingness to ask incisive questions. I hope they don't cede an inch.
Poor Bu$h - loses another fellow liar. But I'm sure he'll get to keep his health care coverage. Unlike 'the little people', as Leona would say.
Any sympathy I might feel for Tony's Snow's medical condition is negated by the fact that he seems not to feel one ounce of compassion or empathy for the hundreds of thousands of civilians (if not millions), both here and abroad (Iraq and Katrina) who have died and suffered as a result of his boss's mercenary and murderous policies.
So, Snow loves his job representing an international war criminal and domestic traitor (the outing of Valerie Plame, Katrina, warrantless wiretapping, Iraq, and countless other charges) -- let history remember him then for his loving contribution to Bush's abominable legacy.
Nice comment QuietAmerican.
International War Criminal and Domestic Traitor - perfect !!! That is the essense of Bush.
