It's unfortunate. He died at such a young age.

That sure went fast! Some might say he was the only honest man in the Bush administration.

He was undoubtedly the best Press Sec to serve under Bush.

He had critics.

In that year and a half at the White House, Snow brought partisan zeal and the skills of a seasoned performer to the task of explaining and defending the president’s policies. During daily briefings, he challenged reporters, scolded them and questioned their motives as if he were staring in a TV show broadcast live from the West Wing.

Critics suggested that Snow was turning the traditionally informational daily briefing into a personality-driven media event short on facts and long on confrontation. He was the first press secretary, by his own accounting, to travel the country raising money for Republican candidates.

You can't be serious. Watching some of his press conferences was like watching Dana Perino, except she stutters when she's lying.

That's why she always stutters.
