Sat Jul 12, 2008 3:34pm EDT
 
WASHINGTON, July 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- House Republican Whip Roy Blunt
(Mo.) issued the following statement this morning on the passing of former
White House press secretary Tony Snow:

"Tony was a man of unique talent and extraordinary character -- a
determined spokesman, a dogged conservative, and a dedicated husband and
father.

"His influence on the political dialogue of this country was as
remarkable as it was pervasive -- but at no time did Tony ever lose
perspective on what was truly important in his life, and at no point did
he ever lose the famous sense of humor and wit which accompanied that
perspective. 

"Today I join Americans from all walks of life, and of all political
backgrounds, in sending our prayers and condolences to Tony's wife Jill
and their three children."
