"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones

Tull for Tony

That was Jethro Tull dedicating much of tonight's set at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts to the late Tony Snow. They said they wished that the musician/White House press secretary could be on stage to jam with them.

Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson considered Snow a good friend.

Tony Snow Remembered

Politico's Mike Allen reports from Tony Snow's memorial service, which was held this morning:

Former White House press secretary Tony Snow was remembered Thursday for "love given and love received," at what amounted to a state funeral, complete with remarks from President Bush.

Snow was a Fox radio and television celebrity -- one of America's most popular conservatives -- before serving as President Bush's spokesman as he publicly and cheerfully battled the stubborn, cruel colon cancer that took his life Saturday at age 53.

The Very Rev. David M. O'Connell, president of the Catholic University of America, said in the funeral homily that Snow "did not need a long life for us to measure."

In Memoriam: Tony Snow

dc Tony Snow NPC Battle Of The Bands071.JPGAnother sad loss for Washington journalists and Americans everywhere: Tony Snow passed away today after his long bout with cancer. "Snow died at 2 a.m. at Georgetown University Hospital, according to former employer Fox News," writes the AP.

President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush issued the following statement:

    Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of our dear friend, Tony Snow. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jill, and their children, Kendall, Robbie, and Kristi. The Snow family has lost a beloved husband and father. And America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character.

    Tony was one of our Nation's finest writers and commentators. He earned a loyal following with incisive radio and television broadcasts. He was a gifted speechwriter who served in my father's Administration. And I was thrilled when he agreed to return to the White House to serve as my Press Secretary. It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work. His colleagues will cherish memories of his energetic personality and relentless good humor.

    All of us here at the White House will miss Tony, as will the millions of Americans he inspired with his brave struggle against cancer. One of the things that sustained Tony Snow was his faith - and Laura and I join people across our country in praying that this good man has now found comfort in the arms of his Creator.

TVNewser notes Tony Snow's final interview, which was on CNN.
