First Tim...Now Tony


It seems like just yesterday I was blogging about the sudden, tragic death of one of my favorite political commentators, Tim Russert. As you'll recall from reading my blog, I had a tough time with Russert's death--it really hit home. I felt like I knew Tim and his death sadden me more than I can effectively articulate on these pages.

As mid-June brought the untimely death of a great Democrat, wonderful husband and proud son, mid-July brings an equally tragic end to another great figure---a conservative Republican, musician, family-man and journalist. Tony Snow is dead at the age of 53--having fought, but lost his battle with (first colon), then liver cancer.

As Roger Ailes said today on the network, "If god needs a good press secretary, now he's got one".

It's a sad day. I'm not looking forward to mid-August.

Rest In Peace, Tony.
