Snow to CNN
2008-04-22
Tony Snow, long time Fox News host and former editorial page editor for The Washington Times, is now a political commentator for CNN, according to Jon Klein, the network's president. He begins now — as in today — offering the conservative take on things.

Mr. Snow has a sterling record: He was the convivial press secretary for President Bush from April 2006 to September 2007 and spent a decade in front of Fox News cameras. "In the White House, Tony brought a remarkably human touch to the discussion of public policy," Mr. Klein said. "He will contribute a unique breadth of political and journalistic expertise."

The suave and civil Mr. Snow is ready to roll, calling this "the most exciting and unpredictable political year in memory. "The big challenge in 2008 is to develop deep, creative and aggressive analysis of both political parties, their candidates and campaigns," Mr. Snow continued. "I'm eager to get started, since this race is sure to shape American politics for years to come."
Apparently his health is holding up. Good to see.

#6  Unfortunately today's news shows Tony going back into the hospital. Here's hoping he gets well:
Former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has canceled a series of speaking engagements at Eastern Washington University because of illness.

Snow was supposed to make a series of appearances Tuesday at EWU. However, he was taken to the hospital to be treated for exhaustion, in consultation with his doctor, according to a source at the University.

The source said he checked into the hospital at 9:30 a.m.

Snow was diagnosed with colon cancer several years ago, and he left his position as press secretary for President Bush in September to deal with the disease. He has said the cancer is in remission

#4  I wonder if CNN's "gotten religion"

Capitalism is not a religion. Someone figured out that socialism only survives off the fat of capitalism, even in news biz. CNN is going for a mixed economy to survive.

#3  Jeebus, only Joe could link CNN, Tony Snow and Battlestar Galactica!

On a serious note, I wonder if CNN's "gotten religion" on their conservative side (of ratings). First, they added Glenn Beck and now Tony Snow.
