Writer, host, White House spokesman Tony Snow passes away...

Above: Snow, with President Bush

It's rare in the world of politics that someone is as deep as their public persona projects. As with most other acquantices in public life, after really getting to know someone (sports or movie star), one walks away thinking, "man, that's not what I expected."

That wouldn't have been the case with Tony Snow, who died today after a long battle with cancer. Snow's most recent job was arguably the toughest one in politics- White House Press Secretary. Warm and affable, Snow enjoyed success first as a speechwriter for the first President Bush, then as a writer and first host of Fox News Sunday. Tony was also a man of deep faith which he expressed many times during his battle with cancer.
