In 2004 I had the extreme honor to meet Tony Snow in person at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. From that short time meeting him, I can tell you that he was in person exactly the person you see on TV. As Rush Limbaugh said today on the radio, "He had the ability, be it from behind the microphone or from behind the camera, he was consistently genuine, he was totally authentic. There were no airs about the guy, and when you met Tony Snow from one day to the next, he was Tony Snow. He was never Tony Snow on television. He was never Tony Snow on radio. He was never Tony Snow at the White House briefing room and podium. He was just Tony Snow." Rush also said that Tony Snow "looked at death as a promotion." From what of his life I could see, I certainly believe that is true, and I will not be at all surprised when I get to Heaven to be able to shake his hand once again. This weekend we lost a truly great man and he will be missed.
