player ready...In an homage to Tony Snow, who had not always agreed with President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney says he too has not always agreed with the president — but that he and Snow, Bush’s late former press secretary, were part of a team.
“He was a major player in the conservative movement,” Cheney said of Snow, who succumbed to a battle with cancer on Saturday at the age of 53. Cheney was interviewed by Chris Wallace for “Fox News Sunday,” a show that Snow had started hosting in 1996. Asked about Snow’s conservatism, Cheney said: “I frankly agreed with him on nearly everything.”
“I’ve known or worked with a lot of press secretaries, White House press secretaries, in my 40 years in Washington, and I’d have to say that Tony’s the best.”
