Get Well, Tony Snow

[Hepburn]

Yes, we at DU are on just about the opposite side of EVERY issue you speak on for your employer, the President. However, as a loyal DUer, when I listened to your presser today, I was impressed on what you said about Elizabeth Edwards and how you said it. You were honest, sincere and compassionate about Mrs. Edwards. That was a nice feeling to have from you ~~ that you could set politics aside to comment sincerely about her and her illness. Thank you for your comments to and about Mrs. Edwards.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that when someone is ill your comments were right on ~~ politics does not matter. So sincerely, Mr. Snow, get well soon and best of luck with the surgery you are going to have on Monday. Hope all goes well for you.

A Loyal DUer ~~ Hepburn.

[Dinger]

1. Oh Alright, Me Too. Good Luck tony snow

Really, I hope he gets well.

[Nutmegger]

2. Get well Tony Snow.

He's still a person. Compassion is what separates us from the RW haters. Some of their comments regarding Elizabeth were disgusting to say the least.

I will never sink to their level. How they can say such things is beyond me.

[Hepburn]

5. That's exactly how I feel about this.

Yes, I cannot stand the man ~~ but...there is NO way that the DU is like those RW hate sites that had horrible things to say about Elizabeth Edwards. We ARE above crap like that!

[Spiffarino]

3. Good luck

Nobody should have to go through that, not even a Republican mouthpiece.

Edited to retreat from excessive snark. I do wish him well.

[FARAFIELD]

4. Hmmm

I hope he gets well to, however i still have a fantasy about him that involves an open elevator shaft. I beat cancer, I missed my call from him.

[flakey_foont]

6. I agree

Best of luck for successful surgery, Mr. Snow.

[helderheid]

7. Well wishes your way, Tony!

[Bitwit1234]

12. He had his colon removed 2 or 3 years ago AND

now he has a small growth in his stomach.

[helderheid]

15. So I hear - how scary!

[scarface2004]

35. maybe all that hatemongering hexed him!

i cursed lee atwater....now i curse tony snow! do not ef with me you gop bastards!!

[crappyjazz]

63. This is nice to see

Good luck Tony

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. What kind of surgery is he having? n/t

[Hepburn]

11. He had colon cancer awhile back....

...and apparently he has some kind of tumor in his abdomen now. They say it does not test as cancer, but they are going in and taking it out to be sure. That is a paraphrase of what he said toward the end of today's presser. He is going to be gone for a few weeks ~~ so it sound like some pretty serious surgery.

[scarface2004]

36. that reminds me...

i need to schedule a colonoscopy...thanks tony.

[Bitwit1234]

9. I don't like his politics but I wish him well.

[wordpix]

42. I wish him well, too. Lately, poor Tony has been looking defeated & dejected

I think things aren't going so well for his puppeteers.

[mwb970]

78. Snow has looked haggard and ill lately.

I assumed it was from having to lie, lie, lie every time he comes out there - that has to be hard on the body and the soul. But maybe his gaunt appearance is due to this other thing.

It's time to go back to Fox Noise, Tone.

[tblue]

10. I wish him well, too, as one human being to another.

'After hearing the news, John and Elizabeth Edwards called Snow, during a refueling stop in Salina, Kan., on their way to Los Angeles, to express their support and concern, said Edwards adviser Jennifer Palmieri. '

[Hepburn]

17. That is wonderful to hear that the Edwards did this.

I would not have expected anything less from them. They are just the best people!

Cancer is a horrible disease. My best friend lost her husband to lung cancer that metastasized and went to his brain. He died a year ago last September. I just feel so badly for both of them over this. They were so in love. What a hard thing to go through.

Edit for typo.

[tblue]

21. Oh, that's so sad. I know a 4 year old who was diagnosed with leukemia.

Cherish every moment, huh?

[Hepburn]

27. OMG....

...how said for the child and his/her family. Really, really sick children like that just tear at my heart.

[tblue]

29. I saw her at a friend's b-day party. A week later, she was diagnosed. The family and their

finances are all but devastated. They are church folk, so they have a good support system, but still. The hospital they have to go to is 2 1/2 hrs. drive from their home. Yeah, it's the pits.

[Hepburn]

31. Oh, how horrible for them.

A sick child and such terrible worries to come on top of that about getting her to treatment and covering the costs. That is so sad.

[tblue]

67. You are a very kind soul. Great bumper sticker on your last post!

[H2O Man]

13. Well said.

I wish him well with his surgery.

[annabanana]

14. Oh, OK.. off to "greatest"... Get Well Tony

We want you hale & hearty when we start beating you around again...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. Wishing them both good health and many more years of life.

Just because he's a lying weasel doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed lots of time to redeem himself. O8)

[Hepburn]

18. Excellent thought!

Maybe he will come over from the dark side!

[DAMANgoldberg]

19. Cancer Surviving Rocks!

Just ask Tony Snow, Elizabeth Edwards, and my Mom!

[Karenca]

20. Yeah, me too.

I was impressed how you voiced your best wishes for Elizabeth Edwards.

I can't stand you, but Get Well Soon.

[Nikki Stone1]

22. Kick

:kick:

[B Calm]

23. I hope he has health insurance

[DesertRat]

24. I am praying that the growth is benign.

Take care Tony.

[AndyA]

25. I hate to hear news of anybody being ill.

And I'll admit that I don't think much of Tony Snow. In fact, I really despise him. But I do hope that he recovers quickly and perhaps learns something from this that he obviously didn't learn last time: life is precious.

He should stop supporting this war, because it is killing thousands of innocent people. There's nothing like a brush with death to make someone appreciate life more.

Get well soon, Tony, and take something from this with you when you return to work in the White House. Make a change happen.

[slj0101]

26. All is fair. Best wishes, Mr. Snow.

[Matariki]

28. Get well in your body and get well in your soul

and get well in your conscience too.

[SeattleGirl]

74. kineta, I wish the same for him.

To Tony: I hope that the time you spend away from your job help you to realize that body, mind, and soul are connected, and that you find that connection in yourself, and that it leads you to a healthy life in all aspects.

[Beelzebud]

30. I share that sentiment.

[bigwillq]

32. All the best to him.

I hope he makes a full recovery.

Even though I disagree with him on many, many issues...cancer is a disease we all may face one day. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone and I hope he does indeed make a full recovery.

[merh]

33. Good luck to you, Mr. Snow.

May your procedure be successful and may you get better soon.

Prayers for healing and comfort sent up for you and prayers for your family.

[mzmolly]

34. Best wishes to Mr. Snow.

Thanks for the thread Hepburn. :hi:

[MistressOverdone]

37. I like this thread

I am old enough to remember the concept of "worthy adversary" and it's nice to see it in action.

Best wishes to Tony and Elizabeth and may we all live each day fully. It is ironic to have reminders on both sides of the aisle.

We differ in many ways, but we all share mortality.

[rasputin1952]

38. Good luck w/the surgery...as w/all who are ill and devasted by

disease, I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

O8)

[NoPasaran]

39. Get well, Tony

In the end, even the people we don't like are still people.

[Cabcere]

40. K&R...get well soon, Mr. Snow

I echo the sentiments others have expressed on this thread, and wish the best for Tony Snow, Elizabeth Edwards, and everyone else who is struggling with cancer - including, as I just found out recently, my own mother. :hug: Be well.

[Hepburn]

43. OMG....

....I am so sorry about your mom. I hope the very best for her and a speedy recovery!

[Cabcere]

48. Thank you.

:) Luckily, it seems to be one of the "best" kinds of cancer you can get - I don't remember the technical name, but it's a fairly slow-moving cancer of the thyroid, so they're just going to go ahead and remove her thyroid sometime in mid-April. When I talked to her tonight, she seemed okay with the whole thing - she said she and my dad went to the dr. this afternoon and had a good discussion, asked lots of questions and got lots of info, etc., and she feels pretty much at peace with the whole deal. So we're pretty optimistic about it, but it still was kind of a shock to learn that she has a form of cancer. Thank you for your kind words! :hug:

[Hepburn]

56. You are welcome....

...and I am glad to hear that things are looking good for your mom! Thanks for letting us know.

[debbierlus]

41. I am not as gracious as you

I really don't care what happens to him. He is a first class creep. I won't wish him any direct ill will, but I will not
wish him well, either. And, given his traitorous and ugly nature and actions, I am being generous.

[saracat]

44. My prayers are with you Mr.Snow. I do not like who you represent but

like a trial lawyer whose clients are not always innocent , you have a job to do.No one deserves this horrible illness.I pray you recover soon.

[ruggerson]

45. Count me in

I hope Mr. Snow has a speedy recovery and a long, productive life ahead of him.

[Paladin]

46. Well Said, Hepburn

Yes, best wishes to Tony Snow for a decent prognosis and full recovery.

And for you Freeper trolls checking things out, here---tough luck. Real Democrats don't sink to your level and wish life-threatening illnesses on political opponents. We're better than you are.....

[Truthiness Inspector]

47. Nice thread, and well said. n/t

[SaveOurDemocracy]

49. Get well,Tony ...

...and get a conscience while you're at it.

[Straight Shooter]

50. Use your recovery time to think about your reason for being on Earth, Mr. Snow.

In the end, all that matters is the Truth.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

51. Ya Shafee Ya Kafee

Oh Divine Healer Oh Divine Remedy

since we are all interconnected, I wish to give my greetings and hopes for your healing.

[NYCGirl]

52. Even though I probably disagree with you on most everything, I wish you a speedy recovery

and good health, Mr. Snow.

[nashville_brook]

53. totally, what you said.

[Ilsa]

54. May all be filled with wellness and healing, even Mr. Snow.

I'll feel alot better about calling you weird names because of your politics if you are healthy. But really, I hope your surgery goes well. Familial colon cancer is a horrible thing to have to deal with.

[BlackVelvet04]

55. What a nice post.....

thank you and I join you in wishing Tony Snow well.

[Mme. Defarge]

82. Et moi aussi!

Courage mon brave.

[BlackVelvet04]

84. Sorry....

no comprende. ;-)

[Terri S]

57. Sincere wishes for a speedy recovery

It seems everywhere I turn anymore someone is facing a battle with cancer. I'm glad this sounds like it may be relatively minor, if surgery can ever be considered minor. I hope all goes well and that Mr. Snow recovers quickly and remains cancer-free.

[Wilber_Stool]

58. Politically, I'd like to slap the shit out of you,

but give it hell bud, give it hell.

[NastyRiffraff]

59. Hope it goes well, Tony

I don't like your politics, and I don't much like you, but I don't wish cancer on anyone. Best wishes for your good health.

[buddysmellgood]

60. I hope they can unwind your swallowed foot and ass absorbed head by opening

your abdomen.
No really...get well Tony.

That's all for me...Goodnight everybody!

[hootinholler]

61. What surgery?

Since it was handed to him several times this week, is he having his ass sewn back on?

-Hoot

[kdpeters]

62. Courage and peace, Mr. Snow!!

You deserve it regardless of the humanity and respect you showed to Mrs. Edwards, but you really do set a good example. Courage and peace. We're with the both of you!

[mcctatas]

64. I wish Tony all the best...

that being said, my husband wondered if being around all that evil hadn't finally manifested in the pit of his tummy!

[Kelly Rupert]

65. Indeed. Best of luck to you, sir.

I believe your comments on Ms. Edwards were genuine; as a cancer survivor you were speaking from the heart. I may disagree with you politically, but I cannot pass judgement on you as a person. All I know is that nobody deserves the pain, anguish, and fear cancer carries with it, and I hope you recover quickly and completely.

[iamjoy]

66. Best Wishes...

No, I don't like the man for whom you work, but I don't think you deserve cancer.

Now, Karl Rove...(kidding!)

Seriously, those were kind words about Elizabeth Edwards and maybe I'm a fool, but they seemed sincere.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

68. i hope that your body heals. And I hope that your judgment follows suit.

lying as a career, well, there are better things to do with your obvious talent. Even returning to Faux gnus would be an improvement. But, is it a surprise that your tumors returned? More doctors and epidemiologists suggest that stress is a killer; it weakens your body's defenses, and makes you more susceptible. The stresses you undergo to baldly lie in front of the cameras each day must be a killer.

75. I don't think Snow will be back

This is his excuse to get out of this White House. The scandals are too big and too hot, and he's tired of misleading us.

[cassiepriam]

70. Perhaps his job at the WH is not the healthiest environment.

[LaurenG]

71. I would have to agree with that

maybe he should find a better work environment. :hi:

[cassiepriam]

72. LOL Hi back!

[Breeze54]

73. Snow's snowjob on America is the cause.

Guilt from being an asshat, backed up s**t; in more ways than one!

Apparently.

Hey Tony? We've been offering to help you for a long time!

If we need any shit from you? We'll squeeze your head!

Hope you survive to lie another day..... seriously.

[bklyncowgirl]

76. Good luck with your surgery. Get well soon. nt

[qanda]

77. Thank you for this thread

And I add my wishes for him to be okay. Politics aren't important enough for me to be inhumane.

[Skittles]

79. I hope he beats it

I would not wish cancer on my worst enemy and I sincerely hope he wins this battle.

[cooolandrew]

80. Yeah he did suffer a cancer himself so it seems there is tiny touch of empathy there...

... he needs to work on that.

[K8-EEE]

81. Yes, I Liked His Comment About Mrs. Edwards.

Passing on the same spirit of best wishes to him.

[Nutmegger]

83. k

[LibertyorDeath]

85. You mean there's a chance he may not make it....

Let us pray.....
