I'm sure Mr. Snow would have defended this moronic show of nepotism, as he was good at it. The trouble is, both the reporters and anyone with the merest hint of what was going on, knew it was rubbish.

You give reporters AND the American public far too little credit. Reporters are adults. Many choose to regularly talk down to the administration and its representatives. If they asked a loaded question and get a talked down to in response .. well ... those are the breaks. You whining on their behalf is silly. And, talking down to reporters (and I don't believe that's an accurate description) is NOT the same thing as the American public. The American public, by and large, manages to live their lives without need of assistance from more than their family and friends and are perfectly capable of figuring out who is lying to them and who isn't. What is true is that you chose to use the event of his death to score points. Not classy .... Ummmmm, OkinaJuan…..

He was elitist and condescending in his tone. His lies were not only degrading but damaging. Either he truly believed the fabrications and excuses he spewed, which would make as reprehensible and corrupt as the rest of this administration. The other possibility is that he did not believe what he said, but was attempting to merely advance his own career, which would simply make him a whore. Either way, he will not be missed.

Wow, it boggles my mind how people like you Sig (i.e. liberal socialsits) can speak out of both sides of your mouth and Tony Snow would have given you grace and laughed off your insult if you had made it to his face. Tony Snow inspires me to be a better person and family man and extend more grace myself to those that would throw it back in my face. He taught us a valuable lesson about lovingkindness in one of the toughest jobs on the planet that is virtually absent of both. My prayers are with your family Tony and I look forward to seeing you in Glory!

When any other showed up I automatically switched off the radio. But Tony Snow? He was a horse of a different color. There is only one Rush and By virtue of this little unwitting experiment happily run on the public only one Tony Snow. He definite had it. What ever it is.

Why don't you just come right out with the hate? You'll enjoy yourself more, and you won't look like such a half-witted fraud. Or maybe go to HuffPo/Kos and writhe around in the sewage a while. 'I’m sure there must be a few Republicans in heaven…' Really? You really think there's any room for Republicans when the place must already be stuffed full of virtuous, saintly Democrats? RIP Tony. I have no doubt that you're in heaven. Maybe you could put a word in for Sig when his time comes - decent man that you were I don't think you'll bear him any ill will, and Lord knows he'll need a good sponsor. For Snow fans, and anyone concerned with issues of free speech and media responsibility (you're excused Sig), here are a couple of great speeches. In the first Snow slams the MSM for bias and elitism, and welcomes the rise of the new media epitomised by Pajamas: http://www.mediainstitute.org/banquet2007/speeches/snow_20071016.pdf and from a few years back: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/588019/posts Sig, if you think you’re being ’subtle’ with your back-handed denigration of Tony, then you’re as lousy a writer as you are a person.
