I'm lost

MAR 27, 2007 04:59 PM



Tony Snow went in for surgery yesterday and the news is not good. Doctors removed a small growth from his pelvic area and tests revealed it was cancerous. It was also discovered the cancer has metastasized to his liver.

This is sad news because there are so many people in the White House that cancer should visit but Snow is not one of them. Several names come into my head; El Presidente, El Vice Presidente, Rove, Rice, Scooter, Fielding, Bolton. But Snow is just their mouth clown, not a creator of the incompetence and anti-American bullshit that pours out of the White House. Lately I have come to feel sorry for him because of all the crap he is being forced to spew.

Snow had colon cancer two years ago and had his entire colon removed, which probably does not make shitting very fun. He underwent six months of chemotherapy. His survival depends on how much of the liver is affected and if it has spread to other parts of the body.

Bush spoke to Snow this morning. Not surprisingly, the President is going to pray.

The president spoke with Snow early Tuesday, and said he looks forward to the day that his spokesman "comes back to the White House and briefs the press corps on the decisions that I'm making."

"His attitude is, one, that he is not going to let this whip him, and he's upbeat. My attitude is that we need to pray for him, and for his family," Bush said. "And so my message to Tony is, 'Stay strong; a lot of people love you and care for you and will pray for you.' "


Aw, he’s nice. I’m sure that warmed Tony’s heart. Snow is 51, is married and has three kids, 10, 11 and 14.

The news comes only one week after John Edwards wife, Elizabeth, announced that her breast cancer has returned and is incurable, but treatable. His decision to continue on with his campaign has been met with quite a bit of criticism from several right wing pundits, like drug addict Rush Limbaugh. They apparently believe people with cancer should stop working and crawl into a hole and die. That’s what Jesus would have done.

I hope he's making it all up in a last ditch attempt to escape the white house.
I don't like the idea of anyone with cancer.

You've only been here 2 months, so I'll spare you. It's just FTR's style. You learn to love it.

I heard about this today and was very sad for Tony Snow. Those were words I never thought would apply to my life.

However, I am now going to make it my mission to use "cancery" in a sentence as soon as possible.

I'm failing to see the bad news. I've had several members of my family die of cancer and I have no remorse for him, who tries to defend and justify the current administration, and all the harm they have done. at least mcclellan seemed to know he was full of shit.

I feel sorry for Tony Snow, despite all the crap he spews. Which is, I guess, what FTR was trying to say through the wince-inducing attempts at humor.

So, this is about longevity? So the longer someone is subscribed allows them to be incrementally tasteless? Two months later... two years later. That shit was out of line.

I still look forward to FTR's posts but this one is despicable.

No, no, he's right about the greatness.

Denmark = great country

Japan = great country + ninja

USA = great country + ninja as portrayed by Lee Van Cleef


LEE. VAN. CLEEF.

It took me a minute to figure the above out, but I thnk I got it. Lee Van Cleef was the great action hero/villain of the '50s and '60s who died of cancer.

As for the rest of the thread, I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy. Or anyone's worst enemy.

I've got this existential dilemma going on right now where I can't decide whether filling in the "reason" text box in the flag form with "because this guy's a grade-A jackass" is hypocritical.

I'm sure his parents will find out about their missing credit cards eventually.

Anyway, this is sad.
I'm going to go study up on cell biology now so we can end this crap.
