Cue The Tim Russert Anniversary Trumpets!

Former Bush press secretary Dana Perino pens a touching tribute in Politico to WH press secretary and FOX News anchor Tony Snow (her boss before she took over) who exited the planet a year ago this Sunday:  "He had dreadful taste in ties, and so we kept spares to switch out before he went on TV. He was charmingly forgetful, regularly losing his wallet and his BlackBerry, sometimes both in one day. One of his BlackBerrys was actually found in a winter boot a few weeks later — it was summer."

I will never stop missing Tony. I couldn't believe it when he answered my emails. What a guy!
