It's difficult to have a hero who is an ex broadcaster and press secretary who talks about politics all the time. It's easier for me to love characters like Tiger Woods because I understand the kind of celebrity that 'hightlighted events' brings.... not the day to day slogging through crap like the media demands.
It's also difficult to watch a man succumb to that bastard of a disease - a disease which is based upon unregulated life itself - cell reproduction and replication in madness.
I have long enjoyed Snow's reporting and watch him calm the vipers in the Press Room as even Helen Thomas the master viperess who hates all press secretaries, became girlish and coy in his presence.
His voice has a calming timbre, his eyes stare directly without blinking, his answers are clear, unfettered with rhetorical mash, and he is a sincere man sofar as I can tell. I am astute in the ways of the insincere.
For him - friendships are not based upon political guidelines - he is friends to many and understanding to his enemies. A man with so much time and so caring in his attention to others.... I can't reconcile what fate as delivered.
At the height of his worth and career, even he is interrupted - and we are the poorer for it as a nation...as a people looking for a voice in our wilderness.
There is always a deep answer we may never know - perhaps the cancer will give him thoughts he would never have dreamed of having at his young age and relative virginity in the world of politics.
Perhaps his book will loose new ideas for me to appreciate and learn.
God be with you Tony Snow and thank you for all you have shared with the audience of your fans.
