From the LAT:
NBC's "Meet the Press," of course, is recovering from the sudden death just weeks ago of its longtime host, Tim Russert, and moderator Tom Brokaw recalled Snow this way: "It's been a tough season for all of us here in Washington. Tony Snow, an elegant man, loved and respected by so many, dead at the age of 53.
From Howard Kurtz at the WaPo:
When Martha Raddatz's cellphone went off during a briefing -- her son had programmed the ring with a rap song -- Snow made the ABC reporter blush by proclaiming, "Play that funky music, white girl."
"You could get into some pretty serious back and forth with Tony," Raddatz says. "You could make each other angry. But when you walked out of there it was over. He was a really genuine guy."
From CNN:
Jon Klein, president of CNN U.S., said Snow "was a highly respected colleague and a friend to many of us. The intelligence and warmth he brought to every conversation will be missed, and the example he set of professionalism combined with humanity will be long remembered.
"He loved this country and its people and was looking forward to getting out into America to listen to their stories and share them with the rest of us," Klein said. "It is all of our loss that he never got the chance to do so. We regret that he was not a part of our CNN family longer, and our deepest condolences go out to his family."
