TONY SNOW, REST IN PISS

Tony Snow, a conservative writer and commentator who cheerfully sparred with reporters in the White House briefing room during a stint as President Bush's press secretary, has died of colon cancer at age 53, Fox News reported Saturday. Snow served as the first host of the television news program ''Fox News Sunday'' from 1996 to 2003. He was working for Fox News Channel and Fox News Radio when he replaced Scott McClellan as press secretary in May 2006 during a White House shake-up. He served just 17 months as press secretary, resigning in September 2007, citing not his health but a need to earn more than the $168,000 a year he was paid in the government post. In April, he joined CNN as a commentator. Although a star in conservative politics, as a commentator he had not always been on the president's side. He once called Bush ''something of an embarrassment'' in conservative circles and criticized what he called Bush's ''lackluster'' domestic policy. Robert Anthony Snow was born June 1, 1955, in Berea, Ky., and spent his childhood in the Cincinnati area. Survivors include his wife, Jill Ellen Walker, and three children.Generally, when people die, you're not supposed to say anything bad about them... -Fuck that. I'm sure there were some redeemable qualities to Tony Snow, but whatever they may have been, I am unable to look past the fact that he consciously did a job that's sole purpose is to spin the torture, murder and war profiteering of the Bush administration into something people would accept as 'defending America'. The fact was, Tony Snow was good at his job, he seemed like a smart guy; and because of that, I cannot accept that he didn't somewhere along the way, make the conscious decision to lie for an administration that KILLS millions of people in exchange for his paycheck. There's a huge difference between being naively stupid and being consciously indifferent to being a part of something so obviously, morally wrong. I don't really believe in karma too much, but chalk this one up as a win for karma. Tony Snow, Rest in Piss...

Tony Snow = professional liar

Why does Tony Snow walk to the podium if all he can speak is thin, sniping clatter? Let's presume Tony Snow is mathematically imprudent. If so, then we must then determine whether his tongue is sweet and breezy, like a furnace, or just dainty.

Satisfaction no longer comes from Tony Snow. It is now sought in Rush Limbaugh's accusation that Tony Snow's cancer was announced for the White House's political gain. Announced for Tony Snow's value as a commodity.

I'm not stopping you from mourning your hero Tony Snow. I'm certainly not going to. He was the mouthpiece for people that have contributed nothing but war and suffering to the world.I couldn't possibly have less sympathy for him or anyone like him. Suck my balls if you don't like me saying so.

That's what 15 lbs of impacted feces, caused by undigested meat will do. Rest in Piss indeed. Fate is cruel though...Cheney can survive 18 thousand heart attacks, yet this pawn croaks from painfull ass-cancer. Wrong guy, dammit.
