It looks like Tony's conscience has been eating away at him--he looks very ill, but not from the cancer. He looks like he isn't sleeping or eating right. I never liked the kiss-ass he did with Bush, but I really think he can no longer continue to put out the spin of this administration and still face himself in the mirror...
I am not happy that this man has Cancer, anyone who is is pathetic. But if he were a "Good" man as Bush apologists keep trying to tell us, he would not have accepted the position of Spokesman, a "Good" man would not not knowingly lie for anyone, a "Good" man who is facing a terminal illness would not put $$$ over living what remains of his life with his family and doing making the remaining years special. No, he complains that $168,000 is not enough to live on, that's more than triple the average worker makes and he has full benefits to treat his Cancer. His priorities are so F'D up its pathetic!
Tony is resigning because he needs some time to make his peace with God.
Unlike Cheney, who is committed to serving his lord and master down below,
until the last possible moment, when the flames of Hell leap up...
only to be serve as charcoal starter for a barbeque for W, and Dick and Karl Rove.
I have referred to Tony Snow as "SnowJob" ever since he took over as press secy, and I can't imagine having/wan
I know, he's at least had the chance to achieve an age that is older than those that his boss is responsible for killing will, but still...
A little compassionate liberalism seems the order of the day more than vitriole.
i dont wish him well unless wishing well means “i wish you would finally be truthful and realize that its not a game what you have done. people died and will continue to suffer.” otherwise? get the hell out and i hope you rot from the asshole out. enough of this pretend politeness- he was/is a contributo
if he can't make enough money working for the gov't, he can always become a gov't contractor
You do not look so good Tony.
I wish you no ill will personally, but the poisonious lies you spew out to the World on a daily basis is not good for your cancer.
Keep spreading rhetorical cancer Tony and your cancer will return. Your words poison the Nation, the World and your body.
Get out before it kills you.
Karma my friend.
Dead Troops = Halliburton Profits = Money in Dick Cheney's bloody pocktets.
Some spokesperson. I'll never forget him telling ED Henry of CNN to "Zip it" when Henry asked him what members of the Bush family were fighting in Iraq.
I don't wish cancer on anyone, having lost numerous family members to the disease, but Snow has only himself to blame for the emnity on display here. Fuck him.
If spreading poisonious lies was harmful to a person's health then at least 90% of the posters on this disgusting website as well as 99.9% of the bloggers would have dropped dead ages ago - starting with Arianna.
And ending with you, it seems.
I've no good wishes for Snow. As far as karma is concerned.
Can't you all just resign? NOW!
Politics aside, Mr. Snow, I wish you health and a long life.
Dido, but I also hope he comes to his senses before the end.
awww...poo
selfish piece of mierda.
So is the jig up? Maybe the economy is worse that we thought it was? These guys don't want to be linked to the sinking of the american economy? The red neon lights are blinking that the stock market is in trouble and the government keeps intervening. What's really happening? Has some analyst painted a really ugly picture that only Bush and Cheney only know about? Or is this simple defeatism? All this turbulence is something more than whats being said. I can hear the brooms sweeping the truth under the rug.
Looks like he aged over night doesn't it?
Chemo will do that. Very harsh on the body.
I guess Tony wants to spend more time with his conscience.
Here's why Snow was the perfect representation for this administration:
While his body deteriorated visibly day in and day out, whenever he was asked he would say something akin to, "this is the most fun I've ever had doing a job!" Really? Spinning the truth with the specific goal of keeping this country entrenched in a useless, fabricated war, putting a smiley (albeit mostly condescending) face on the horrible state of affairs both here and abroad, all while cancer is riddling your body...tha
Reality does not come into play for these people on any level...bu
I'll say the same thing I said when someone (supposedly) took that shot at Chenney...
That Snow promulgates this unconscionable war shows a true lack of solid moral grounding. God did not equivocate when he commanded that we SHALT NOT KILL..we SHALT NOT STEAL..we SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.Ve
