Way, way back when I thought that one day (today) I’d be a famous pundit, I looked forward to locking horns with right-wingers like Tony Snow. His end-of-show commentaries on “Fox News Sunday” never failed to make my teeth grit and shout obscenities at the screen. I looked forward to him one day attacking me by name, seeing it as a badge of honor.

Cat was born to be White House Press Secretary. He should have been in that role for the whole eight years. Bush would’ve been able to lie better.

While watching coverage of his death, I was sincerely moved by the great love he had for his family. So I wish that family well in its time of grief.
