My Take
Tony Snow had one of the more genuinely versatile careers in American public life: journalist, columnist, broadcaster, musician, and ultimately White House press secretary. What I respect is that he moved between the press corps and the podium, understanding both sides of a contentious relationship in a way few do. His command of language served him whether he was writing a column or fielding hostile questions. Losing him at just 53 in 2008 felt like a real waste of a sharp, principled voice. I remember him as someone who took the craft of communication seriously, on both sides of the microphone.
