Former Bush spokesman Tony Snow dies
Former White House press secretary Tony Snow has died at the age of 53 after a second battle with cancer. "The Snow family has lost a beloved husband and father," President Bush said in a statement. "And America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character."
Dr DeBakey died too. A great heart surgeon. I had a distant cousin who worked with him and he was a pediatric heart surgeon.

Message: I am a flaming liberal but I always really liked Tony Snow. I was so saddened when I heard about his death this morning. The guy had such a great sense of humor. Evident in his often verbal duels with Helen Thomas. I thought he was truly a very likeable guy. A breath of fresh air after Scott McClellan. What a tragic loss to have your life cut short at age 53.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but here goes. I feel very sorry for Mr. Snow's life cut short by cancer and for his family, too. We all grieve for those gone too soon.
I watced Tony Snow defend a policy that surely he really did not believe in 100% , although, he may have been that small % that still thought that going into Iraq was the right thing to do.
No way am I saying that Mr. Snow losing his life was justice for his defense of Bush & Co. He was doing a job. The job, however, was defending a war that has now taken the lives of around 4,600 other young men. Most much younger than the 53 years of Mr. Snow's life.

Message: I heard about Tony Snow this morning but not about Dr. DeBakey. Condolences to both their families.
