The Final Goodbye
Today was Tony Snow's last day as White House Press Secretary. After 16 months on the job, Snow is leaving his post because he has run out of money (wait. government jobs don't pay well? get outta here). Snow brought humor and quick wit back to the Press Secretary's office, and made himself a household name in the process. Journalist on both sides of the political table seemed to always enjoy press briefings as much as Snow. We've watched as his cancer came back and he endured another round of chemotherapy. We've watched as he gracefully and candidly acknowledged he struggle with cancer and the toll it has taken on his body. And on NBC Nightly News, I watched footage of Snow leaving the office (the White House), brief case and bags in hand, with dozens of people clapping in his honor. A man with respect, with honor, kept the American people informed and entertained for 16 months. Best wishes, Tony.

Politics aside, I've always thought Tony Snow was a good guy. One of the few left on your side of the aisle. He's the last person I would want to face in an argument because I would certainly loose.
I would lose soundly in an arguement with him as well!
