Former Bush Spokesman Tony Snow Dies at 53

I thought this was a very nice summary of Tony Snow’s career, and his words in the final part show just what a decent man he was.

I didn’t blog about this at the time, though I intended to. Above are screen shots of an Associated Press video on President Ford’s coffin arriving in Washington, DC. As you can see, it was a bloody pain to watch. I know there are liberal journos over there in Washington—I remember one (conservative) foundation found that 93 per cent voted for Clinton and 7 per cent for Dole in ’96—and the conspiracy theorists would have put this reversed-and-upside-down treatment to them. Or, was it just because we are Down Under and this is the way AP broadcasts to us, figuring we are on the other side of the world?
