Blunt Statement on Passing of Tony Snow

Sat Jul 12, 2008 7:32pm 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."
