A lot of Canadians may not know who Tony Snow is.. as Fox News channel is only allowed if you pay for it. Lesser watched (left wing and radical) news is only allowed.
From Wikipedia:
Tony was an American political commentator, television news anchor, syndicated columnist, radio host, and the third White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush. Snow also worked for President George H. W. Bush as chief speechwriter and Deputy Assistant of Media Affairs. Snow served as White House Press Secretary from May 2006 until his resignation effective September 2007.
Between his two White House stints, Snow was a broadcaster and newspaper columnist. After years of regular guest-hosting for The Rush Limbaugh Show and providing news commentary for National Public Radio, he launched his own talk radio program, The Tony Snow Show, which went on to become nationally syndicated. He was also a regular personality on Fox News Channel since 1996, hosting Fox News Sunday, Weekend Live, and often substituting as host of The O’Reilly Factor. In April 2008, Snow briefly joined CNN as a commentator.
Snow died at Georgetown University Hospital as a result of colon cancer that had spread to his liver. Reacting to Snow’s death, President Bush said: “America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character… It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work.”
Tony wrote a great piece on called “cancer’s unexpected blessings“….
It sums up the man better than I ever could. Rest in peace Tony
