Tony Snow appears to of lost a lot weight, fast.
Edited on Thu Aug-30-07 05:21 PM by liberalnurse
I was just watching the Daily White House Press Conference/Briefing....his suit is too big.

I can't seem to find an on file video of today...I'm watching C-Span.......

If someone has a video link...please share. It really would be interesting to see a video of 4 months ago with today's........

I welcome the assistance.

Here.....this is the general white house briefing page....I hope it works.

scroll thru and pick out one in June then August.

31. Maybe he's a candidate for Marijuana?
Isn't this the type of situation medical marijuana is for?

5. No one deserves to suffer like that. I'm glad he has good & available healthcare
I genuinely hope he beats the cancer. I want to see the shock on his face in November '08.

9. You're right - he deserves our sympathy


My heart goes out to him.



He must really be suffering.



All my thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Snow and his family.

25. Let me thank you for your post. It's about time someone actually showed
what old Tony is spending his last days defending.

Again, thanks.

27. He should be reminded that there are many people in his same situation,
fighting the same disease, who have LITTLE TO NO HEALTH CARE.

And then he should be reminded that the people he is covering up for are largely responsible for preventing those people from having access to health care.

If he's a caring human being, fighting this horrible disease, that should be enough to make him march into Bush's office and tell him to cut the shit, people need help in this country.

So far I haven't seen him do that, and even though he may be dying, he's spending his last days on Earth lying for that miserable failure George Bush. Pathetic.

14. The pics in the OP give a 404,
but I've seen a few recent videos of him - he doesn't look well.

I've had a couple relatives succumb to cancer. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Let's hope he turns the corner.

15. Tony needs to remove stress from his life to fight this cancer.

    White House Press Secretary Tony Snow takes
    questions from reporters during his first news briefing
    in Washington in this May 16, 2006 file photo.


    White House Press Secretary Tony Snow briefs reporters,
    Thursday, Aug. 30, 2007, in the White House briefing
    room in Washington.

18. The chemo's definitely doing a number on his hair.
Edited on Thu Aug-30-07 05:22 PM by backscatter712
:(

Let's hope it's just the chemo doing this - he'll have a few weeks of hell, but that'll beat the cancer down and he can get better, at least for a while. Let's hope the chemo works.

22. I'm stage IV colon cancer and my chemo turned my regal salt and pepper hair totally white...
(all my dark brown hair fell out) but I've been able to gain three to five pounds a week during the treatment, and produce GOOD blood test results because of diet, rest, and avoiding stress. I believe the stress of the Press Secretary job is negating Tony's therapy, and I suspect he's slowly sliding backwards.

28. Hey Nurse, I'm a novice at this game and sorta making it up as I go along.
You guys have been my strength, and when I parrot things that sound like insightful advice, it just demonstrates that I listen intently to the nurse's wisdom. Thanks you for being there! :loveya:

17. The fact that he's suffering does nothing to alleviate
the suffering of the victims of the war. I dislike the man intensely but cannot wish to see him deteriorate, fail and die from cancer, any more than I can wish one of our soldiers to lose life or limb in Iraq.

23. It's a poison that kills cancer faster than it kills the rest of you.
That's why they use it, but it certainly isn't fun.

21. Hard to believe
he would choose to spend his last days lying for Team Bush. He must be a closet atheist, surely not a believer in hell.

32. Yes, yet another amazing similarity
between hardcore neo-cons and hardcore nazis. They are wedded to their deadly ideology...till death till they part. Will take their loved ones with 'em too, the sick bastards.

36. I was alarmed at his appearance a few weeks ago..
and he looks even worse now. He won't be with us much longer I'm afraid. To me, it seems a shame that he uses his final days lying for the Bush administration, but perhaps this is his wish.
