SelectPlusFormer Bush Spokesman Tony Snow Dies at 53Former Bush Spokesman Tony Snow Dies at 53The Associated PressFox News is reporting that conservative commentator and former White House press secretary Tony Snow has died of cancer. He was 53. (July 12)He was President Bush's third press secretary, brought in to revitalize a second-term administration increasingly unpopular and off message. Tony Snow brought to the job the credentials of a journalist, and the polish of a TV star.BUSH SOT: "Tony already knows most of you and he's agreed to take the job anyway. And i'm really glad he did." And the former conservative pundit took it despite being fresh off a bout with colon cancer.(From 5/16/06 tape, choking up) SNOW SOT: ..having gone through this last year and I said this to Chris Wallace was the best thing that ever happen to me. (File footage Snow walking, etc.) A natural wordsmith, Snow defended Bush policies with gusto -- and clearly relished the cut and thrust of his daily meetings with reporters. SNOW SOT: "The Palestinians have not been bankrupted Helen. As you know Hamas is a terrorist organisation, we do not give money to terrorist organisations. (stills) Snow was an editorial writer when he first came to the White House -- to write speeches for Bush's father.(file footage Fox News Sunday) But most Americans got to know HIM through TV -- as the genial but acerbic host of Fox News Sunday.(Back to file At the White House podium, Snow was an unflinching Bush booster.(Nat sound band playing) But away from it, he was a devout family man, who cut loose playing flute with a rock band.(Back to briefing room announcement) And his TIME at the podium was fleeting. Ten months after starting, his cancer was back... SNOW: SOT (12:43) "We have found a small growth in my lower abdomen ... Aides were in tears, reporters stunned... SNOW: SOT (12:43) And I'll miss you each and every day. Especially when I'm sore and filled up with drugs."(Snow and Perino) Snow eventually handed the job to his deputy, Dana Perino, but not before telling a banquet of White House correspondents Washington's NOT the snake pit it's cracked up to be. SNOW SOT: it's a SMALL TOWN WHERE WE'RE QUITE OFTEN BOUND TOGETHER BY EXTRODINARY EXPERIENCES AND THE UNIQUE OF HONOR OF SITTING AT A SEAT OF GOVERNMENT OF A NATION THAT NOT ONLY REMAKES HISTORY BUT DEFINES WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A GOOD COUNTRY. Looking out at the great and the good that evening, he offered this advice: if you see someone in need, do some good, and "pass it on." MS, AP, the White House

You saw Van Damme ... ( 3 months ago by RenegadeMystic)
You saw Van Damme get his ass kicked?? Yeah, right! Van Damme is a champion, 18 professional fights, 17 knockouts and another knockout during a rematch with one of his opponents, that makes 18 knockout for Van Damme. I doubt you are a professional, I never seen a professional martial artist disrespect a fellow martial artist, especially one with Van Damme's record.

Are you talking about Joe Lewis, 10th Degree Black Belt, Grandmaster. Member of the first combat unit in Vietnam, 8th Marine Brigade, 1965. One of the first Americans to teach Hand to Hand Combat in Vietnam working with Division Recon. I didn't know him before but I sure know him now, thanks. I'm going to try and learn something from him. He's like Bruce Lee and myself, he don't believe in styles.

chuck norris likes to tell the story of a brand new black belt who was competeing for the 1st time and had no confidence at all mr norris proceeded to talk to him to bolster his confidence before the day was done they both made it to the finals and the end result was that won that tourney , after that jokingly mr norris states he'll never give anybody any motivational speeches again

For those of you who made disgusting and horrific comments about Tony Snow, I want to tell you this: One day you are going to lose someone in your life, whether it be a wife or husband, or a son or daughter someday, and you are going to be at the funeral of your loved one, and at that very moment in time, you will remember my comment, and you will then realize the true meaning of what you have said, and you will then know what it feels like to be a family member of Tony Snow.
