HuffPo Commenters Wish Tony Snow Ill Upon Learning of Upcoming Surgery

March 23rd, 2007 4:10 PM

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow is set to undergo an operation. The Associated Press reports the surgery is to "remove a growth" in Snow's lower abdomen. Snow, you may recall, is a surviver of colon cancer.

Dean Barnett at TownHall.com noticed that outpouring of well wishes from Huffington Post commenters:

Naturally, the Huffington Post community weighs in with its own unique form of sympathy. A few samples:

- “Sure holding all that bulls**t in your gut would make anybody sick..!”

- “The growth in his abdomen is his head stuck up his a**. F**k him!! He is pure lying scum and should die ASAP!!”

- “You can only swallow so much............can you say karma.................”

Of course, some posters wished Snow well in that charming HuffPo way:

- “I’m sorry to hear about this for Tony, I hope it is all good news for the guy. Tony may be a BushCo whore but nobody deserves to have cancer, it’s a terrible desease that has caused far too much misery to my family and many, many more.”

Barnett also says he saved a screenshot to prove it "if and when this thread disappears down Arianna's memory hole."
