A Tribute to Tony Snow

To quote Steven Colbert,

"Tony Snow is a man who can speak for an hour - and at the end of that hour, have said nothing at all - like nobodies business."

Despite the fact that Tony Snow sold his soul and worked for Satan - both of these are prerequisites for being a good journalist - and he indeed WAS very good at what he did. I do genuinely admire the White House Press secretaries for how awful and painful of a job they must have.

Hunter S. Thompson said, "The journalism business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs."

So Mr. Snow, on the day that you die, I wish that you may run free with thieves and pimps forever - in the long plastic hallway in the sky!

1955-2008
