Again, why the nice words.

Tony Snow, former Bush press secretary, died yesterday. I can understand saying something like "our condolences to his family". But again, why the need to say nice things about a man who gleefully and admittedly lied and manipulated people to support policies he knew would not have the effects he claimed they would. He was the worse kind of partisan hack.. his loyalty wasn't to the truth or America but to whomever was paying his bills. And for the record I will feel the same way about James Carville when he dies too.

In general I have no sympathy for the political operatives (like say Hannity?) who do only what they are paid to do even if they privately admit they are wrong.
