RIP Tony Snow

Tony Snow was my first Sunday show host. He wasn't the first sunday show host I watched (Tim Russert had that honor) but he was the first sunday show host I felt ownership over. He was MY guy. He read the news, prodded politicans and made the news clear for ME. Reporting from historic homes throughout the nation, I can remember being enthused by his reporting, even when I disagreed with his guests.

He will be missed.

Tim Russert is Dead

Today Tom Brokaw, the last of the great men of news, announced that the first citizen of classic punditry, one of the true class acts in American Politics, had passed. I'll let the President speak for me on this issue-

"He was an institution in both news and politics for more than two decades. Tim was a tough and hardworking newsman. He was always well-informed and thorough in his interviews. And he was as gregarious off the set as he was prepared on it"

He was the longest running host of Meet the Press in history, and made his mark on the medium in ways I can't express. So for Tim, I'll say somthing I've never said before and may never say again- Go Buffalo Bills. He will be missed
