Former White House press secretary Tony Snow passed away early this morning at the young age of 53. Snow, who had been undergoing chemotherapy for a recurrence of colon cancer, left his job at the White House on September 14, 2007.
Snow was best known for cheerfully sparring with reporters in the White House briefing room in his short year and a half stint as President Bush's press secretary. He explained how his previous job as the host of the television news program "Fox News Sunday" between 1996 and 2003 mentally prepared him for the pressure that he had to face in the press room.
Speaking about one of the toughest jobs in the world, Snow would later say that in the Bush administration he was enjoying "the most exciting, intellectually aerobic job I'm ever going to have."
Red and Blue's thoughts are with Tony Snow's wife Jill and their three young children.
