not a huge fan of the man himself, and certainly not of the position, but i wish him well.

interesting, though, that he’s (inadvertently?) making a point for universal healthcare by saying that he needs to make more money in order to take care of his family.

At least it’ll be a hottie spewing lies now.

Snow is a shameless hack, but I hope his health improves. He’s got two fairly young kids.

no more snow jobs.

Okay Dana, here’s your big chance to become the most visible liar in the free world. Take it, Perino!

earlier he said he needed to make more money for his kids education. i heard he makes about 150K ??? what about the rest of us peasants?

The sympathy portion of the propaganda campaign.

Why is this breaking? I thought it had already been reported…..

he shouldn’t have come back in the first place. Since he has cancer, he shouldn’t do that high stress shit. It’s hell on the immune system, and he needs it all to fight the illness.

Don’t like ya, Tony, but I wish you better health.

[deleted–not on this blog. Keep your posts civil, please]

Not to be macabre or morbid, but Tony Snow looks about ready to die. Seriously. He has physically aged approximately 20 years since just last year. Seeing him yesterday was shocking because I hadn’t seen him in some months. I wonder if his conscience is bothering him as much as it looks to be. He’s such a liar and a weasel.

Too bad that hottie won’t last long. Remember composed and nimble she was while she filled in for him for that time? Oh right, she wasn’t. Still, I agree w/ Batocchio @ 3.

If there is an afterlife, he’ll have a lot of answering to do for being the mouthpiece of this caustic, deadly regime!

He’s such an elitist POS hack. He can’t live off 168K/year. Poor thing.

It was speculation. Today the reichhouse made the official annoucement.

Evidently, you can renegotiate your deal with Satan. Who would’ve thought?

Honest question here. I’m curious and don’t really know the answer. Given that Tony Snow is Jewish and that he loves to lie and promote the slaughter of millions of human beings, is it expected that he’ll receive some sort of punishment in the afterlife? Where do unredeemably evil people go in this faith?

wasaperson @ 8:

No, he previously mentioned his low slave wages and suggested the possibility. This is the real deal. Poor, impovershed Tony. Maybe now he’ll have time to go see ‘Sicko’.

Bring back Ari!

Really though, hopefully Snow can overcome cancer and return to pissing us all off. :)

168K isn’t enuf to educate his kids??? he can’t have the strength to “spin” this Craig mess the republicans have right now either.

burt @ 6:

He makes $168/year. In his demented reich-wing mind he actually believes he’s part of the “working class” with that salary and now knows how the lower half lives.

He’s the only guy with a real excuse for leaving. He’s ill. I can understand his lame excuse, but he gets a pass because serious illness is a private matter. I’m sure he really doesn’t want this part of his life playing out live and in color every day.

First we had Baghdad Bob, then D.C. Tony, who’s next?

Tony we hardly knew ye. Sieg Heil!

I wish Tony Snow well and hope that his condition improves. I lost a parent to cancer at a very young age and certainly hope his young children will have him around for a long time to come. That said, I hope that he will reflect on some of his positions in support of this criminal enterprise that he works for ask for forgiveness. I am reminded of Lee Atwater and his plea for forgiveness right before he died, it was very sad that he waited so long to see the error of his ways.

Do you have to turn in your white sheets and brown shirts when you leave herr dubyah’s reichhouse?

Just watched W speak at the podium and he introduced Perino.

“She is a smart, capable…person.”

“She can handle ya’ll.”

What is he qualified to do, that is worth more money than he earns now?

So long Snow-job, welcome Perine-hole.

Another face, same bullshit.

Well if Bush said it, it must be true.

168 K is over twice what i make. maybe it’s not enuf for a middle class guy like Tony but I’d like a try at living on those wages. spinning whoppers like he does is hard work…..

“She can handle ya’ll.”

Even in a bathroom stall?

A medical condition such as cancer will certainly hit your pocketbook like a ton of bricks, but what does it say when the lead spokesman for the fricking White House bottoms out his health care on a six-figure salary?

Make more money how? I can’t imagine going back to FOX Brainwashing will be any less stressful (other than you now have a staff to help write the lies).

My sympathy for Snow is limited. I can’t even respect him as a news guy.

Paid liar leaves.

Another paid liar takes his place.

Real news awaits.

Working for the reichhouse, he as access to the best and cheapest medical care in the World. I’m sure his medical costs are next to nothing if not free all together.

[deleted–Our site, our rules. Go play elsewhere if you can’t be nice.]

My husband and I make about 80,000 together and health care costs have killed us (a broken leg for one kid, a cyst removed from another, a sprained wrist with x-rays for the third). Between paying for a BC/BS plan that sucks and the thousands in out of pocket expense-we had trouble making payments on our modest amount of bills and insurance last year.

He is seriously ill. He has to think about setting aside enough money to educate his kids after he’s gone, sad to say. I wonder, though, if he’ll have to pay a thousand a month for COBRA payments to keep his health insurance and then the insurance company underwriters dump him anyway because he’s sick….It’s happened to plenty of “average” Americans.

I think that all the “reichhouse”, “Sieg Heil” comments contribute nihl to the dissusion. Consider an aside, whether magical or thespian: read the posts on the “rightwing” sights, and consider how such allusions are similar. It is not the “same medicine” argument, but a “no medicine is needed” argument.

I got dumped from Cobra, just because the clock ran out. I didn’t even make any claims during the period I had coverage.

“But, but, but, America has the greatest health care in the World!”
~Reich-wing talking point 73.

I listened to his radio show before and it was real low brow stuff. He made Rush look intellectual. Most of the show was him chuckling that the “democrats would get theirs” or some such thing.

Personally, Im not big on wishing unpleasant people well. I guess I like to look at the silver lining more than other people. Even when a plane crashes I often think, “well, at least a few hardcore assholes probably died too”. Or is the “silver lining” not supposed to be invoked in those cases? Oh well.

I can’t stand Dana the freak. Yaki Doodle now speaks for monkey boy. I guess that is fitting.

I am grateful we don’t have to watch Tony deteriorate on camera. It has been altogether disgusting.

Arms got tired shoveling shit

When Peter Jennings passed, he refused to discuss it to any length because the MSM didn’t make a big deal about his cancer diagnosis.

The only thing more stunning than Dana Perino’s almost total ignorance is her even more stunning inability to think on her feet…but she’s a babe so the press will look mean if they wake up, remember they went to journalism school for some reason and actually, you know, try to do their jobs.

Yes, when you start adding up what college will cost in the future for his three kids and everything else along the way, $168m is not a whole lot of money in DC or NY when you don’t know how much longer you’ve got. If he has options to make more money, he’s doing what he has to do. No one should begrudge him that.

Good thing he’s got that great healthcare that he doesn’t think the rest of us should have.

Assistant spokeshottie now has the job full time?

Gees, expect lots more “Hair Flipping-Eye-Blinking-blank-stare” moments…

Tony was quick on the bullshit draw, Dana relies on the good old “Just a pretty girl” schtick to get her through…

really gonna miss that pile o shit

but another one is waiting in the wings

looks like tony’s days are numbered..

do’nt worry a man of his integrity will have no trouble entering the pearly gates

There’s enough to begrudge him for in his love and support of genocide.

I’m sure that even Dr. Joseph Mengele had a sweet side.

I think less of him for his time at faux than as a hired liar for the chimp.
Having said that I hope for recovery for him.

Too bad– the Thinker-Upper will have to figure out a new set of insulting nicknames for his replacement.

As big a douche he is, I wish him a speedy recovery. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out, Tony.

howard stern to perino: “i’d bang you.”

Now that’s a blow and go!
