Breaking: Tony Snow to Resign
By bluegal Thursday Aug 30, 2007 12:28pm
AP via ABC News:
Tony Snow, the highly visible White House press secretary, will leave his job on Sept. 14 and be replaced by his deputy, Dana Perino, an administration official said Friday.
President Bush was to announce the changes during an appearance in the White House briefing room.
Snow, ailing with cancer, had said recently he would leave before the end of Bush's presidency because he needs to make more money.
The 52-year-old Snow was a conservative pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio before he was named press secretary on April 26, 2006. He is the latest in a string of White House officials to head for the exits.

not a huge fan of the man himself, and certainly not of the position, but i wish him well.
interesting, though, that he's (inadvertently?) making a point for universal healthcare by saying that he needs to make more money in order to take care of his family.
At least it'll be a hottie spewing lies now.
Snow is a shameless hack, but I hope his health improves. He's got two fairly young kids.
no more snow jobs.
Okay Dana, here's your big chance to become the most visible liar in the free world. Take it, Perino!
earlier he said he needed to make more money for his kids education. i heard he makes about 150K ??? what about the rest of us peasants?
The sympathy portion of the propaganda campaign.
Why is this breaking? I thought it had already been reported.....
he shouldn't have come back in the first place. Since he has cancer, he shouldn't do that high stress shit. It's hell on the immune system, and he needs it all to fight the illness.
Don't like ya, Tony, but I wish you better health.
[deleted--not on this blog. Keep your posts civil, please]
Not to be macabre or morbid, but Tony Snow looks about ready to die. Seriously. He has physically aged approximately 20 years since just last year. Seeing him yesterday was shocking because I hadn't seen him in some months. I wonder if his conscience is bothering him as much as it looks to be. He's such a liar and a weasel.
Too bad that hottie won't last long. Remember composed and nimble she was while she filled in for him for that time? Oh right, she wasn't. Still, I agree w/ Batocchio @ 3.
If there is an afterlife, he'll have a lot of answering to do for being the mouthpiece of this caustic, deadly regime!
He's such an elitist POS hack. He can't live off 168K/year. Poor thing.
wasaperson @ 8:
It was speculation. Today the reichhouse made the official annoucement.
burt @ 6:
Evidently, you can renegotiate your deal with Satan. Who would've thought?
Honest question here. I'm curious and don't really know the answer. Given that Tony Snow is Jewish and that he loves to lie and promote the slaughter of millions of human beings, is it expected that he'll receive some sort of punishment in the afterlife? Where do unredeemably evil people go in this faith?
wasaperson @ 8:
No, he previously mentioned his low slave wages and suggested the possibility. This is the real deal. Poor, impovershed Tony. Maybe now he'll have time to go see 'Sicko'.
Bring back Ari!
Really though, hopefully Snow can overcome cancer and return to pissing us all off. :)
168K isn't enuf to educate his kids??? he can't have the strength to "spin" this Craig mess the republicans have right now either.
burt @ 6:
He makes $168/year. In his demented reich-wing mind he actually believes he's part of the "working class" with that salary and now knows how the lower half lives.
He's the only guy with a real excuse for leaving. He's ill. I can understand his lame excuse, but he gets a pass because serious illness is a private matter. I'm sure he really doesn't want this part of his life playing out live and in color every day.
First we had Baghdad Bob, then D.C. Tony, who's next?
Tony we hardly knew ye. Sieg Heil!
I wish Tony Snow well and hope that his condition improves. I lost a parent to cancer at a very young age and certainly hope his young children will have him around for a long time to come. That said, I hope that he will reflect on some of his positions in support of this criminal enterprise that he works for ask for forgiveness. I am reminded of Lee Atwater and his plea for forgiveness right before he died, it was very sad that he waited so long to see the error of his ways.
Do you have to turn in your white sheets and brown shirts when you leave herr dubyah's reichhouse?
Just watched W speak at the podium and he introduced Perino.
"She is a smart, capable...person."
"She can handle ya'll."
What is he qualified to do, that is worth more money than he earns now?
So long Snow-job, welcome Perine-hole.
Another face, same bullshit.
-GSD
Dhalgren @ 26:
Well if Bush said it, it must be true.
168 K is over twice what i make. maybe it's not enuf for a middle class guy like Tony but I'd like a try at living on those wages. spinning whoppers like he does is hard work.....
“She can handle ya’ll.”
Even in a bathroom stall?
A medical condition such as cancer will certainly hit your pocketbook like a ton of bricks, but what does it say when the lead spokesman for the fricking White House bottoms out his health care on a six-figure salary?
Make more money how? I can't imagine going back to FOX Brainwashing will be any less stressful (other than you now have a staff to help write the lies).
My sympathy for Snow is limited. I can't even respect him as a news guy.
Paid liar leaves.
Another paid liar takes his place.
Real news awaits.
Shadowgm @ 32:
Working for the reichhouse, he as access to the best and cheapest medical care in the World. I'm sure his medical costs are next to nothing if not free all together.
[deleted--Our site, our rules. Go play elsewhere if you can't be nice.]
My husband and I make about 80,000 together and health care costs have killed us (a broken leg for one kid, a cyst removed from another, a sprained wrist with x-rays for the third). Between paying for a BC/BS plan that sucks and the thousands in out of pocket expense-we had trouble making payments on our modest amount of bills and insurance last year.
He is seriously ill. He has to think about setting aside enough money to educate his kids after he's gone, sad to say. I wonder, though, if he'll have to pay a thousand a month for COBRA payments to keep his health insurance and then the insurance company underwriters dump him anyway because he's sick....It's happened to plenty of "average" Americans.
I think that all the "reichhouse", "Sieg Heil" comments contribute nihl to the dissusion. Consider an aside, whether magical or thespian: read the posts on the "rightwing" sights, and consider how such allusions are similar. It is not the "same medicine" argument, but a "no medicine is needed" argument.
bluegal @ 37:
I got dumped from Cobra, just because the clock ran out. I didn't even make any claims during the period I had coverage.
Jen @ 36:
"But, but, but, America has the greatest health care in the World!"
~Reich-wing talking point 73.
I listened to his radio show before and it was real low brow stuff. He made Rush look intellectual. Most of the show was him chuckling that the "democrats would get theirs" or some such thing.
Personally, Im not big on wishing unpleasant people well. I guess I like to look at the silver lining more than other people. Even when a plane crashes I often think, "well, at least a few hardcore assholes probably died too". Or is the "silver lining" not supposed to be invoked in those cases? Oh well.
I can't stand Dana the freak. Yaki Doodle now speaks for monkey boy. I guess that is fitting.
I am grateful we don't have to watch Tony deteriorate on camera. It has been altogether disgusting.
Arms got tired shoveling shit
bubba @ 42:
When Peter Jennings passed, he refused to discuss it to any length because the MSM didn't make a big deal about his cancer diagnosis.
The only thing more stunning than Dana Perino's almost total ignorance is her even more stunning inability to think on her feet...but she's a babe so the press will look mean if they wake up, remember they went to journalism school for some reason and actually, you know, try to do their jobs.
bluegal @ 37:
Yes, when you start adding up what college will cost in the future for his three kids and everything else along the way, $168m is not a whole lot of money in DC or NY when you don't know how much longer you've got. If he has options to make more money, he's doing what he has to do. No one should begrudge him that.
Good thing he's got that great healthcare that he doesn't think the rest of us should have.
Assistant spokeshottie now has the job full time?
Gees, expect lots more "Hair Flipping-Eye-Blinking-blank-stare" moments...
Tony was quick on the bullshit draw, Dana relies on the good old "Just a pretty girl" schtick to get her through...
really gonna miss that pile o shit
but another one is waiting in the wings
looks like tony's days are numbered..
do'nt worry a man of his integrity will have no trouble entering the pearly gates
dennis @ 48:
There's enough to begrudge him for in his love and support of genocide.
I'm sure that even Dr. Joseph Mengele had a sweet side.
I think less of him for his time at faux than as a hired liar for the chimp.
Having said that I hope for recovery for him.
Too bad-- the Thinker-Upper will have to figure out a new set of insulting nicknames for his replacement.
As big a douche he is, I wish him a speedy recovery. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, Tony.
howard stern to perino: "i'd bang you."
Now that's a blow and go!
Weaseldog @ 52:
ROFL.
Haven't seen this guy in action for a month or so, what a difference, you can actually see that Snow is beginning to have a hard time convincing himself of his beliefs: oh it's subtle, but it's there.
I feel bad for Tony Snow, Cancer is a rough row-to-hoe. I wish him and his family well.
Moving from FOX or FAUX (depending on your view, should have been a good move, but for Tony it was like jumping in a room full of fire.
Anybody who has to get up on a podium daily and lie for the Pigs that now sit in the Whitehouse....well, it's beyond my understanding
as to how they can do it, they must know they are supporting lies, so i don't know how they do it.
Charlie Wasabie @ 62:
I disagree...the prick is just looking for sympathy due to his health condition. Once a
lying prick always a lying prick
►Runs-With-Dog◄ @ 63:
Moving from Faux to the reichhouse back to Faux is an easy and logical transition....he's lying for the same group of "people", his office is just located somewhere else.
I lost my father to multiple myeloma, and cancer is an ugly way to go. I find it difficult to find much sympathy for Snow. He's the hackiest of hack enablers. I remember when he used to fill in for OxyButterball. The only Rush wannabe substitute worse than Snow was Mary Matalin.
Is it true that Snowjob is heading to R. Murdick's recently acquired WSJ to head up
the Editorial Section of that paper...Sounds about "right"..
Bluesage @ 24:
My thoughts exactly.
Buh Bye!
Bluesage @ 24:
Ask for "forgiveness" from WHO? If you are referring to that guy up yonder walking around
on the clouds, that's one thing, but should he seek MY forgiveness, FORGET IT. He is
and has been all along a duchbag and is totally worthless and will never be able to set
himself right with me. And, in fact, leaving because he needs more money shows you
the type of person(greedy) he really is. GFYS Snowjob.
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 contributor/apologist for a group of murderous, child molesting traitors. we dont have TIME to be polite anymore.
I still think that Tony Snow, Ari Fleischer and Bagdad Bob should form a PR firm. It would probably be a huge success since lots of firms seem to need flacks to put up an impenetrable smoke screen when the fertilizer hits the fan.
I could get mad at Snow when I watched him. He was smooth when he lied. Perino makes me cringe I wished she tell the truth, it would be easier for her. She is really bad at lying.
What would Zeus do? @ 67:
Does PR stand for "Propoganda Regime"?
Maybe Tony didn't realize he was lying. Maybe he legitimately believed what he said was the truth. Maybe he was just fed all the bullshit so he would deliver it with a straight face. And maybe the cancer that is eating his body doesn't have anything to do wih all the toxic bullshit spewing from his piehole day in and day out. Maybe. But you know I doubt it. I feel sorry for his kids that they have to have a dad like that and soon may not.
By the way, look at photo above again....Snowjob is showing you, with his right hand,
just how high, thus far, the shit he has been feeding us has gotten.
You can tell it's the Friday before the holidays when....
We all have to go sometime, I suppose it will probably be getting millions of hush money, seeing how no one who lies to the American deserves nothing less then eternity in hell, to bad you chose to be a mole you 73428951097!
What would Zeus do? @ 67:
Ari has already started with the laughably titled "Freedom Watch": http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/23/AR200708...
sad
very very
sad
and lying for bush
certainly couldn't be helping
his condition
heh...
Sorry, I can't wish him well, can't wish him health. When he had health and wellness he used it to make the world a much worse place. He will continue working to further worsen the condition of the world until all strength and lucidity leave him. He is dying, and will soon be gone. Because he used what significant influence and power that chance, life and ambition handed him entirely in support of unworthy and dark causes and ideals. He has lent his life to the multiplication of misery and injustice. The legacy of his life will be that the world is a worse place for his having been in it.
"The only Rush wannabe substitute worse than Snow was Mary Matalin."
I dunno. Ever hear Michael Medved at the EIB microphone?
Paul @ 76:
The legacy of his life will be that the world is a worse place for his having been in it.
Very well said Paul...
Looks very much like tony snow has only a few months to live. I would not wish cancer on anyone, and am not happy that he appears to be in "the last throes" of his illness.
With that said however, snow is a complete POS, and deserves to be tried for war crimes for his role in "catapulting the propaganda" of this criminal administration. The blood of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians is just as much on his hands as it is on the hands of cheney, bush and many others in the WH. I have absolutely no respect for anything snow says, and feel that his current situation is simply an example of karma.
I hope snow uses what little time he has left to reflect upon his role in this, one of the blackest periods in the history of the US, and realizes that he has been nothing less than a traitor to The Constitution and the patriotic people of this country.
He is the latest in a string of White House officials to head for the exits.
See Wickepedia Entry: Rats, Sinking Ship, Jumping off.....
Astro @ 77:
Yeah, Astro, good point, it's kind of a judgement call, though. Even though Med-fly is pretty bad, and his voice is more effeminate than Matalin's, her voice and stridency makes me wonder how Carville could ever get it up.
Paul @ 76:
Sucks to be him.
MargeAggedon @ 82:
Sucks to be one of his millions of victims.
oh great Dainty Perino....geeesh I bet within 2 weeks the press pool can make her weep....( actually I am so sick of the propagandabushtas....urgh...and WHOEVER called her a "hottie", seriously get your eyes checked.that is like saying Eva Braun was a real looker). I feel sorry for Tony, and his family....I hope that he has good healthcare and appreciates that millions of us don't....
I am sure a lot of of the soldiers in Irag would like to leave and 'make more money' but they remain the victims of of the war and many of those who do come back are crippled and deserted by government.
My sympathy does go to his family who will have to live with the fact that he was a lying worthless POS.
One less lying face in Washington.
He was a puke, although not quite as bad as Ari Fleischer or Scottie McClellan. Good riddance.
They are all rotten, for example everyone I know who has had a heart attack and survived it... they all without a single exception changed their outlook in life. In some sense they got a feeling that their lives had been extended and some of them slowed down, noticed what is important in life, and seemed more pleasant. Now, Dick Cheney has had what, 3 heart attacks. The bastard has more money than god, and he will not quit working to screw his fellow man until the day his ticker expires for good.
Same for this Snow shill, he could have quited and realize that he just has a few months to come to terms with the fact that he is expiring. But his priorities were with the regime.
How rotten and empty your life must be that you don't have anything more meaningful with which to keep the rest of your short life occupied that screwing your fellow man.
Trii @ 86:
Or, to say another way...." One less pile of lying shit in the Press Room, into which
pile the Capitol Press Corps stepped with their weak questioning and consequently
they(Capitol Press) are stuck in that pile of shit and are unable to clean themselves
and gain some respect.
OK, he is claiming that he is leaving not because of his health, but because his salary is not enough for his family. $168,000??? WTF??? Lord help us all if a family of five cannot live on that. Hmmmmm, maybe it is because of the large medical bills. Will an insurance company take him in his new job? He has a pre-existing condition. He is going to cost the company thousands! If he only lived in Canada that would be one less issue for him. How pathetically ironic if it is. Maybe that could be the antidote to his massive ingestion of the kool-aid.
Why say that in the first place? It is no shame to quit a job that literally sucks the life out of healthy people, let alone a cancer patient. Sigh.
I heard he was paid over seven figures a year to schill for Fixed Noise.
He took a pay cut to go and schill lies for Bush.
There's a reason McClellan bailed (maybe he trolled a few publc restrooms like Larry "Wide Stance" Craig did and left before he got outed), and Fleischer as well; Snow should have looked at that instead of being so "awed" he was going to work in the White House for the Worst.President.Ever.
If anything, I feel sorry for his wife and kids - hope his wife has her own job, because unless his insurance kicks in, they'll be leaving DC or if they stay, they'll have to move out of the upscale NW side and go toward Anacostia...
Snow looks bad. I wish him well.
Reap what you sow
or is it
Harvest what you plant,
or maybe
Plant yourself in shit and shit ye shall become....
or something like that..
Every month or two (or whenever they need a distraction) until the end of Bush's term another Bush co-conspirator will resign. We'll laugh or cheer or whatever and the discussion will be about that person's impact and who wil replace him or what this means and before you know it, it will be January 20, 2009 and all of the Bush criminals will be gone, all having gotten away scott-free.
Reflect on your life, Tony. I couldn't care less that you're going. I'll save my tears for my dear neighbor who is very ill with cancer.
Remember his caustic comment on troops being sent to Iraq before they had finished their training--in order to make the surge? Snow said "they can train in the sand." Within a few days, a young soldier was killled in a friendly-fire incident. He and his unit were sent over before finishing their full training complement. Fininshing the training migh well have saved that young soldier. I heard nothing from Snow about his comment that implied the troops didn't need their training. No sympathy for him. None.
gotta go gotta go gotta cut n run !
Dana, your cute little ass is up for liars bat.
Perino better take a class in lying 101 'cause she sucks at it.
IgnoranceIsNotBliss @ 100:
But to be a member of bush-lite's team, you must be able to suck...
StirFry @ 99:
Looks like there will be a lot of "cuttin' and runnin'" if we're all lucky! I could make a long list, including Ms. Condi who was last seen on an ever more expensive milk carton.
goatsage @ 5:
EXACTLY!!! Perfect!!!! Look closely at Tony, Dana... Lying takes a big toll on you. And the salary isn't even worth it, if Tony's reason for leaving is to be believed...
Lies Ahoy - now with 60% less smugness and condescension, but with the same flavour of BS!
The poor fellow looks like he going to die tomorrow. When he got the job, he looked so vibrant!
I like to see how Perino is going to look at the end of the next fourteen months.
Poor baby isn't making enough to support his wife and 3 kids. He makes a mere $157,000 per year. Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! If he wasn't cancer-stricken I'd get downright nasty.
I heard Barney is about to quit its job to spend more time with his puppies!
Damn! Everybody is leaving!
burt @ 6:
You would think that the white house paid it's press secretary a substantial amount. Especially this administration where it's obvious that anyone doing it has to vigorously shovel tripe on a regular basis and keep the party line straight. You would also think that the White House would also have a really good health care plan. I'm not buying into this for a second. I think it's rats from a sinking ship. I also don't think that particular job was helpful to Snow's health as it looked pretty stressful sometimes.
I wish Tony Snow the best in his fight against cancer, absolutely. And I actually have a smidgen more respect for him for his reason - more money. How honest. What a change from the usual 'spend more time with the family' b.s., which is usually code for 'I got caught with my pants down/hand in the cookie jar'. That Snow may be one of the few in the White House that ISN'T raking in a fortune from the Bush Oil Cartel is rather refreshing - and rather a sad indictment of a government that can't keep its senior civil servants because $150K a year is insufficient wages for health care and school tuitions.
Maybe that's the best slam of his bosses Tony could possibly have given.
So he makes fourteen thousand dollars a month, and he is having a financial tough time wih that kind of income! Where does that put me with what I make? That's fucking sorry!
MeMyselfAndI @ 88:
I'm guessing Cheney accidentally got a consciencectomy when he first when in for heart problems.
snow was very good at what he did. he would take the worst smelling shithole and give it the aroma of spongecake. damn, he was good. still it occurs to me that when a person because of age or illness nears his time for meeting his creator, yes, i'm a believer, that that person would see the need to 'fess up to the lies he was an accomplice to. Leave the world a little better place. unless of course he actually believed in that dribble, but i really feel that he was far too intelligent for that.
He looks dreadful! He had better make as much as he can in the time he has left and I do honestly wish him well. I wouldn't wish a death from cancer upon anyone after seeing my dad die from it - even those in this miserable administration.
no longer a proud american @ 111:

"Fessing up" by Snowjob is about as likely as bush-lite ever admitting he has made
one single mistake/error in his life...Coming from Faux Noise, and being tuitored by
Rupert Murdick, Snowjob believes all the lies he has told repeately, so I don't give
him credit for any intelligence whatsoever.
Now we begin to see the terrible consequences of spewing toxic lies for a living. Ordinarily government mandated TLV's (that's threshold limit values for the uniniated) for such toxic exposure would have allowed him to serve out Georgie's term. Unfortunately his previous exposure as a Fox news puppet was not factored in and these things are cumulative. The crap accumulates in the fatty tissue between the ears and may cause permanent disability.(See Ari Fleischer ) Very sorry for his family
Whether he works at the
Roach MotelWhite House or Faux News, its still the GOP Ministry ofSmears, Lies and DistortionsPropaganda.Tony Snow does look bad. My first thought was that he looked like one of the aliens from They Live. And the guy isn't much older than me!
From this High School photo to what we see today.
Cancer. Could never wish that on anyone. But can't help feeling that this is another cost of working for the Bush Family.
Karma's a bitch.
Wasn't this news posted before?
I think Tony is a very talented man. A master of the spin and the lies. Face it, he did a masterful job at that podium.
I frankly wish him well making money on his speaking tour. He probably has some big medical bills and maybe he will be able to spend some time with his loved ones. Seriously. It's the chemo (or radiation?) that has him looking so bad, not the actual cancer.
I didn't see ANY coverage of the cancer debate in Iowa - did anybody else?
Believe what you see, not what he says. He looks TERRIBLE and no matter how much he lies, he is not leaving to make more money. Money will not help him at this point. You'd think he'd like to get out of lying every day. That can not be good for anyone. Keeping lies straight is extremely difficult and would not help with his cancer treatments. Do you think he will have insurance when he leaves??? HA, of course, all these people have unending health insurance while we would lose ours in a heart beat.
Well, Snow-Job, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I'm certain the Repugs won't have a problem recruiting another liar to take his place, as that party has no lack of lying cowardly traitors in its mist.
I'm sorry that he's ill.
But he's a tool. And the money excuse ain't flying with me.
"Tony, we have a proposition. We know you've already resigned, but we haven't made a public spectacle of it yet, and now that your looking so sickly, a national press conference featuring your haggard mug might just give us some sympathy points in the polls. As payment, we'll take over your healthcare costs, and set your kids up with handsome trust funds. Whadya say, are you in?"
See what happens to Rethug. lying assholes.
i would like to think that i may never see your smug mug again.
you have contributed nothing.
you were a disaster.
a failure to your country.
a traitor.
i suppose you will continue to get your healthcare from the tax payers. socialized medicine is ok for you but not for us.
you are a first rate a-hole.
Oh thats just great!!! Who's next from the Faux Zustand-Ministerium der Wahrheit und der Aufklärung?
John Gibson? Christ forbid.
Dana Perino, eh? The presas will chew up and spit out this bimbo. It should be fun!
The last time I saw Tony, I kept thinking that he'll soon be wearing a Vader suit to keep him breathing. It was kind of eery watching him like a living "BodyWork" exhibition underway.
Dana Perino, I have mix feeling on that. I'm glad that she is such a terrible liar, that it doesn't roll off her smoothly like it did for Tony. Although I fear that I eventually have a distaste toward blonds and put up poster of Rosie O'Donnell for me to gawk at.
WashStateBlue @ 48:
There is nothing quick on the draw on pulling up old "Rove's Memo" for every answer that you want to flagellate the journalist who dares ask for truth. I think I need to point out that most of the question are pre-approve or risk getting un-invited to the next press hearing.
He can't even be truthful about this one thing.
Can someone tell if Tony's health has been deteriorating?
He looks thinner and paler and his hair colour has changed.
I don't think it's job stress.
He really does seem quite gaunt and pale now compared to his Fox days.
I wish him well; cancer is awful. He was "just doing his job", but he did it with some offbeat and irritating verve (e.g., his "gerund" comment). I'll be happy to see a Faux pundit vacate the position.
David E Toronto @ 131:
He has cancer and has been undergoing treatment. Where have you been?
Is this the part where we're supposed to forget Snow's maliciousness, hypocrisy, hackery, and dishonesty - i.e. his service for the Bush Crime Family? Am I supposed to get weepy because of his health? I haven't seen any evidence that he kicks puppies for fun, and I don't wish ill health on him or anyone else ....
That's about all I can say.
Man, Tony looks AWFUL! I didn't realize he had cancer. I hope he gets well soon.
His neocon politics are beneath contempt -- but I think we should all wish him a speedy recovery.
The Bush administration can't get a break. They are just falling apart more and more everyday. How long till Cheney resigns? His approval ratings are in the SINGLE digits! Much like Bush's I.Q.!
How will he get health insurance with his pre-existing condition? Was he just on loan from Fox and he can go back? Maybe his wife carries the family insurance? I know that this sounds anal to dwell on it, but if he said that he were retiring because he is ill that is one thing, but no, it's the money???? No one in ordinanry America in his shape could leave their job.
Oh, people just don't like to think of themselves as merciless. That's for conservatives and Bushlickers, being mean like that. Us good folks, we have Compassion even for our enemies. Something like that.
But me, I have no problem wishing the guy the longest and most painful of deaths. There are many others who died lingering painful deaths because of his lies and Bush worship.
MP - BOYD - I don't want to go on the cart.

Edwin @ 133:
----------------
My understanding was that his cancer had been taken care of and it was now over. That's the reason I asked. I didn't know he was still in an on-going treatment/therapy.
They have drained the miles out of this dying man. All I can say is good riddance to one more lying repug enabler.
He really looked like he's nearing the end of his rope. I have little respect for this man, dying or healthy. Seems like even the sick and dying rats are jumping the ship. It gets lonely up there chimpy. Maybe he should jump ship too? Be sure to push cheney ahead of you if you decide to go please.
IrresistibleB1tch @ 1:
Should I feel bad for a man who earns 164000 and says he has to leave his job in order to to make more money? I wish all ailing people who cannot afford their care would be able to find a new job with lots more money.
yeah...um....lost my dad to cancer a few years back....not a pretty sight....so sorry Mr. Snow, but I feel NOTHING for you.......good riddance
Goodness, it's Snowing early this year. Hahahaha.....seriously...he has to quit because he doesn't make enough money to support his illness? Is that not covered by the generous medical insurance taxpayer's supply? Oh I know, Rupert Murdoch pays more for his 24/7 bs propoganda.
Looks like his day job didn't sit too well with his constitution. Hard to feel too bad for a guy that has helped promote the death and destruction of so many. Too prominent a cog in the wheel for me to feel sorry for. Looking at him now versus what he looked like when he was just a lying newscaster is shocking. I'm sure it's just serendipity that his health is failing and likely doesn't have anything to do with his morality. Still, I can't help wonder if there isn't a picture in a closet somewhere getting prettier every time he lies. Kind of a reverse Dorian Gray.
Enjoy.
One thing you can say about repukes, unlike the dems and progressives,
they die natural deaths....curious, innit?
He needs to make more money? What did Fox pay him and what did he do with it? It's not like Tony doesn't have health insurance either right now through this job or individually. Even if he hadn't, his treatments shouldn't have cleaned him out.

Sure we have time to be polite. Otherwise we look just like the assholes who post on the extreme conservative sites. Either take the high ground or wallow in the mire with the people you claim to detest.
you know what's scary? snow was making about 1 million dollars for how many years? why didn't he SAVE his money? is america that expensive? If i was making about 1 million a year for even 2 years, i would be able to take a job that paid 168k and still be fine. nay...i'd be able to quit my job and STILL be fine financially.
he must not have saved his money while he was a fox.
you need to save and invest so that it can grow.
The man is dying. Why would he continue being the mouthpiece for that cesspool?
How to put this: I really don't like how this man duckeddodgedweaved and slick talked his way out of answering questions, and would answer questions by saying he answered them already etc etc, but I don't wish him ill. I hope he make a full recovery and lives a long and happy life.
I did find it interesting that he said he need to quit for the money. That 168k a year isn't enough to pay for his medical bills and health care. Health coverage for gov't employees that sucky? Or is the health care provider telling him they won't cover his bills?
