Tony Snow. Class act. That says it all to me. It’s difficult to put into words how much admiration and respect I have for this man. He is intelligent and kind hearted. He has a way about him that makes you feel as though you’re good friends with him, even though you’ve never met. I’m glad he’s leaving the White House for his sake, but sad for the American people who get a kick out of watching him give David Gregory the slap down.

I emailed Tony at the White House back when he announced that his cancer had returned. Maybe some of you did the same? I received this reply, as I’m sure thousands of others did too, because Tony is a gracious individual:

THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington

Thank you for the wonderful email, and for including me in your
thoughts.

I have gotten hundreds of cards and emails from all over the country,
and I’m amazed and delighted by each and every one. The entire path of
my life over the last few years has taught me a very valuable lesson:
that blessings come in unexpected packages. Although I normally wouldn’t
consider cancer a blessing, it has brought forth acts of kindness from
friends and strangers-and helped me understand the real power of
kindness and concern. It is as if I had been hoisted on the shoulders of
others, who have taken up my burden, and raised me up, so I can look at
life from a new and wonderful perspective.

That’s one of the great things about being an American: people in this
country just want to do the right thing for others. And having been the
recipient of your kindness, I can assure you that I’m doing everything
in my power to learn from and emulate your example. Little gestures-a
call, an email, even a smile-can have enormous healing power, not just
on the person in need, but the person offering the encouragement. Isn’t
it great how we always feel better when we do the right things?

So thank you for strengthening my faith in the things that matter-and
from the bottom of my heart, thanks for taking the time to write to me.

What a great gift!

God bless,

TONY SNOW

HotAir links to Little Green Footballs reporting that the left is being as vile as ever over this. Ugh! I strongly dislike those hateful fools. I considered quoting the haters, but then decided I didn’t want their disgusting comments on this post. However, I do recommend clicking the links just so you never forget who the enemy is.

God Bless you Tony.
