Tony Snow, Dead at 53

A charming press secretary for President Bush, conservative pundit, and Fox News anchor, Tony Snow has lost a long battle with cancer. Ed Morrissey offers a personal reflection of a genuinely nice man at Hot Air.

More reflections will no doubt be captured throughout the day at Memeorandum.com.

Our prayers go out in support of his family.

1 National Review Online's Corner has a number of remembrances of Tony as well.

I'm sure God will be looking at hiring Tony as His press secretary now.

Godspeed, Tony.

2 And HuffPo preemptively closes comments on their Snow story, lest their compassionate, tolerant commentariat drop the mask.

Tony was a true diamond in the rough. He will be sorely missed.

3 Tony was one of the best. I shall miss his smile, humor, and candid personality.

I bet he's going to have some very interesting converstaions with Ronald Reagan.

4 Tony Snow will be missed. He had such a positive, optimistic attitude that it was a breath of fresh air to listen to him.

Our prayers go out to his family.

5 Daily Kos and ABC are deleting any comments that rejoice in his death, so they don't look bad.

While I was at DailyKOS I saw the article and comments of civilian casualties on Afghanistan. They're pretty thrilled.

6 Tony Snow was known to most of us as a tv presence, and he had a great talent for it. My eyes saw a genuinely humble man with a quick intelligent wit and a gentle sense of humor. I never saw him show anger, lose composure, or insult anyone. His answers were always cogent, thoughtful, and considerate of the questioner, even Helen Thomas.

How is it that I consider his death to be the loss of a significant goodness from the world and the kos kid's krowd feel so much hate and evil about him? Character flaw or mental illness?

7 TwoLane, to a lefty, if you do not agree with them, you are automatically not just wrong, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

8 C-C-G, it's the dehumanization of your opponent. Stalin and Hitler would be proud of the leftists here today.
