GU just beat me to this one.

i didn't agree with this guy's politics at all, but i was stunned to see this report. is there a hex on TV political pundits?

Yeah it really is a shame. I too didn't often agree with his politics, but you could tell from all his appearances that he was a legitimately good guy. His press briefings were actually watchable, and I can't remember the last time that was true.

That sucks. He was a great guy from all accounts. Cancer is the worst.

Agreed on all counts. He had a tough job putting a positive spin on what was rarely positive coming out of the White House; and FakesNews may do more to ruin this country than even I thought was possible from a purported "news" service; but, he sounded like a devoted family man, and he was pretty funny at the press conferences. After all, even though his passion was misplaced, imho, that passion for what he believed is still commendable... he was steadfast in his beliefs. I hate hearing about these things happening to anyone so young.

I am another who did not approve of his political stance, but agree that it is a very sad thing for him and for his family. He fought this disease with determination and courage.

Tony was a devout Christian man......I admired his stength during his illness as he tackled it with grace and courage.

He was a good one for sure! Hate to see us lose a great conservative. Prayers for his family.
