Tony Snow Resigns

AP - White House press secretary Snow resigns

President Bush announced Friday that press secretary Tony Snow, who has waged a battle with cancer while manning the White House lectern, will resign and be replaced by his deputy, Dana Perino, on Sept. 14.

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.

Man... The Bush Administration is like a sinking ship.

I also read that Tony Snow resigned because he couldn't support his kids on the salary he was receiving--$168K. I have kids, and I make way less than that. I'd like to try and raise my kids on what he considered such a paltry salary. He did not look well at the press conference. Any news on his battle with cancer?
