Here's Sen. Robert Byrd dropping knowledge on the late Tony Snow. If you know Byrd, then you know this former Klansman is a quick study when it comes to race relations. And this gem is nothing short of genius. If you thought offending blacks and whites using just two words would be difficult, then you don't know Robert Byrd (the good stuff starts around the 1:00 mark):

... colleagues seemed too timid to pursue. Watching the press briefings, we'd see Scott McClellan or Tony Snow offer an evasive/ridiculous response to a legitimate question, and Gregory was consistently the one to call them on it, usually with more than a little impatience and indignation. I used to think we'd be better off if more of the White House press corps was as aggressive as Gregory...

Gary Gross’ “Let Freedom Ring” blog - which has become an essential read for Sixth District politics and Minnesota GOP inside baseball - turns four today. And Gary’s still on a mission: Tony Snow asked some former CNN executive what he thought about these bloggers scooping the MSM. Out of that came the infamous line that bloggers were [...]

... the proposals were in “the best interests” of the nation. “And yes,” said White House spokesman Tony Fratto, “we’d prefer our regulations stand for a very long time.” It could be worse, you say? At least he’s not raiding the White House for office furniture like Bill & Hillary Clinton did? Actually the Clintons got a bad rap . That’s right — lies were told about the Clintons. Shocking, isn’t...

... ’nuff said. White House Press Secretary: Alex Treadway The nicest guy on the planet, he’ll combine Tony Snow-level affability with Garrison Keillor-style storytelling — no reporter will be immune. Plus, he had a bit part in the James Bond classic Live and Let Die as a kid — how cool is that? Secretary of Health and Human Services: Heather Holdridge Every time I see Heather, we end...

... around. By the way, how come whenever there's a check, one of them gets the check. Remember John Snow, our Treasury Secretary, who engineered the Dubai Ports Deal on a no-bid basis to Dubai Ports, a company he owned a $25,000,000 stake in from his days as a private citizen? (No, that's not girl-economics, I didn't add a zero, by mistake). Well, John Snow's new company (now, that he's...

Dean Barnett of the Weekly Standard, one of the best writers I have ever had the pleasure to read, passes away at 41. This is a gigantic loss, every bit as big as the losses of Tony Snow and William Buckley. He was–and is–one of the great ones. More from William Kristol.

Just read about Dean's death. It's like losing another Tony Snow. Both, Dean especially, lived closer to death than most. Both lost. Death not within the natural course of time is a particular loss, and these two, such splendid, joyful, principled, loving men... It's a loss to me to see men like that lost to the world. -------------- I'm going to include the one email exchange I had with...
