The former white house press secretary and fox contributer is dead today after his bout with cancer. He was 53 years old.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I'm sure that's what your websites told you to think of the guy.

I had no clue who he was but 53 is too young. Sucks.

Good Riddance? I mean I don't agree with the guys politics but I'm not glad he's dead. We're not talking about Hitler here...

I think it's very sad. He was a very animated and "real" guy in the media. He never seemed fake. Curiously enough, that's what all the other guys on TV are saying about him, too.

I watched him a lot when he was on Fox News (my dad watches that religiously), and I never thought his health was declining like that.
RIP.

No, but we're talking about a guy who was a paid professional liar for Hitler 2.

I don't subscribe to the "omg!1!1! they're dead, now we gotta say nice things about them1!!" bullshit.

It depends on the person. Now when Falwell died I kind of felt that way but I dunno Tony Snow's death is tragic.

He was just using reverse psychology. He figured if he just lied to the press to begin with, since they always write whatever they want anyways, they'd twist it and then maybe the truth would really be what was printed laugh.gif

I don't know what's so bad about Ted Kennedy... nor do I care. All I know is that a professor I had in the fall semester was his press secretary when he ran for President.
