Get over it and be thankful for the time you do have.

That registers a "pretty much".

"He brought a certain civility to this very contentious job," the former president said.

Agreed, probably one of the most fitting tributes.


/Thread becomes a steaming pile of hatred in 3...2...1...

Ehh... hated what the man said and what he stood for, but I saw him on Maher and Jon Stewart and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

Unlike many other people so close to the administration... but we won't go into that.

FTA:

Snow said, "The one guy I snapped at was Ed Henry of CNN."

"Oh I know Ed, he's a tool," Colbert cracked.

You'd like to think that was a joke, wouldn't you, Ed?

CNN reporter fondly recalls being the only person Tony Snow admitted snapping off to

Great, another closeted Republican sex fiend.

What exactly is "snapping off?" Is that what a drag queen/black woman does to someone to indicate "Honey, you don't want none of this?"

/and if so, is Tony Snow a black woman or a drag queen. . .? thoughts?

Do we really need to start this all over again? Or is this to satisfy the lingering hatred that people feel of those they disagree with? Really! let the man rest in peace. That said, at least it was a positive article.

In this case, the tense exchange came on March 19, 2007, the fourth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. Snow was attacking House Democrats for a troop withdrawal plan he claimed was a "recipe for defeat" that would "provide a victory for the enemy" in Iraq.

So I asked Snow to explain President Bush's "recipe for success" in Iraq.

Snow promptly reached into his toolbox for one of his favorite tactics, turning my own question around on me and demanding to know my recipe for success in Iraq. I started insisting that I get to ask the questions and he has to provide the answers and we kept interrupting each other until Snow finally blurted, "Zip it!"

Tony Snow was great at his job. Unfortunately, his job was to bully the American press and public into kowtowing to the worst presidency in the history of the United States of America. And blimey if Ed Henry is still so whipped that he fondly recalls Snow never answering a question and being taunted by the schoolyard-like argument "Well, tell me what your recipe for success in Iraq is!"... by the frickin' White House.

We are doomed.

*fistpump*

That was a pretty good article.

What manner of people make a hero out of someone whose main claim to fame was that he could lie politely?

What the hell has happened to America, and American values?

But but but he seemed like a nice guy!!! A guy you would want to have a beer with maybe?

Now where have I heard that before

Snow was a surrogate in an administration that got 4,000 soldiers killed, but hey he was always the gentleman when he was doing it - especially when he was questioning the patriotism of those who disagreed with him.

I hope the Snow thing goes on and on, like the Russert (and Reagan).

Russert's lasted so long that my reflex is to change the channel whenever the NBC peacock logo appears (even though I generally like NBC).

BitwiseShift:I hope the Snow thing goes on and on, like the Russert (and Reagan).

It will, but only in right wing places and web sites like Fox News. They think they have to outdo the Russert coverage, or at least equal it.

I guess God got his revenge.

/1 more down

What the fark is snapping off?

After yesterday's thread, I guess I'll say something nice.

At least he knew what the Bay of Pigs was.

Glad Ed could make this a story about himself. Prayers for Omarion too.

OK, it's wrong to mock the dead, right?

Crap, then I got nothing.
