Bush hails Snow's 'record of accomplishment'
(Yahoo News) - President Bush fondly remembered Tony Snow Thursday, telling mourners at Snow's funeral that the conservative commentator-turned-White House press secretary "amassed a rare record of accomplishment."
He knew the job of a reporter was vigorous. He understood the profession and always treated it with respect," said Bush, who traveled to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to pay respects to his former lead spokesman, who died of colon cancer last Saturday.
His was a life that was "far too brief," the president said of Snow.

I thought bringing on Tony Snow as press secretary was one of Bush's best hires during his years as president. Tony was a pretty sharp guy who was quick on his feet, and he wasn't afraid to mix it up with the press.
