We Will Miss You, Tony Snow

Tony Snow passed away early this morning, following a long fight with colon cancer. He was the public image standard for Conservatism. While he certainly held to his Conservative convictions, to my knowledge he never vilified his opponents, nor did he break out in anger. He was more than likely to make you laugh with his extremely intelligent wit. He was his own thinking man, as I remember President George W. Bush commenting on how Tony called "Dubya" on the proverbial carpet for some of his ideas. In watching some clips run, one thing that comes to mind is his love for family and life in general. I do believe he loved Jesus too. Extremely recent Tim Russert, now Tony Snow ... our American media is sorely worse off now for the loss of both of these icons of integrity.
