WASHINGTON - Tony Snow, the highly visible White House press secretary, will leave his job on Sept. 14 and be replaced by his deputy, Dana Perino, an administration official said Friday.

President Bush was to announce the changes during an appearance in the White House briefing room.
Snow, ailing with cancer, had said recently he would leave before the end of Bush's presidency because he needs to make more money.
The 52-year-old Snow was a conservative pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio before he was named press secretary on April 26, 2006. He is the latest in a string of White House officials to head for the exits.
Friday was the last day of work for political strategist Karl Rove. Others who have left since Democrats won control of Congress are counselor Dan Bartlett, chief White House attorney Harriet Miers, budget director Rob Portman, political director Sara Taylor, deputy national security adviser J.D. Crouch and Meghan O'Sullivan, another deputy national security adviser who worked on Iraq.
Snow has been undergoing chemotherapy after doctors discovered a recurrence of colon cancer in March.

Hey... Cancer is a serious reason to quit! It's not just because he's realized how fucked the Bush Admin is....

It could be said that he must have had cancer of the brain to take the job in the first place. And doesn't the White House have a health care plan for fucks sake?

Chemo does that to a person.
I don't care the manner in that he resigns, just that he's resigning.
The fact he has cancer is indeed sad, and I hope he managed to beat the reoccurance.

What I don't get is why he has to resign because he's not getting paid enough. Doesn't the White House have paid sick leave, and don't they have a decent health care plan that would cover most of this? And I'm more than a little curious as to where he's going to find a higher paying job while he's got cancer. Who's going to hire him?

Fox News, Right Wing talk radio? Given he worked for the former and indeed, the job description never changed.Cpl Kendall wrote:What I don't get is why he has to resign because he's not getting paid enough.
