anyone see the footage of how as he was leaving his post, people lined up on the streets to say goodbye.

With the exception of one very misinformed person in this forum, I've never heard even one person, anywhere, say anything negative about Tony Snow. In spite of what anyone thinks of his politics, he was a rare gem of a person.

Just stating a fact. I actually got to liking Tony after he left the white house. I saw him on a few shows and found him to be a charming warm individual. It was you that brought up the crap asshole. RIP Tony Snow no disrespect was intended.
