He had a wife and kids, always sad when you leave behind fairly young kids.

Not trying to start a fight but why are CNN and msnbc covering this and fox news hardly talked about him this morning? I found that odd

It is sometimes hard to speak through your tears. Is it not?

Tony knew the cancer risks inherent to his family, and although he did everything right, God's time was for this young brilliant gentleman different than ours.

I helped bury a beautiful young professional educator in June of 2007. She had only waited (it paid after 50 plus a little put off time) so her health insurance would pay for the colonoscopy. Had she gone immediately at 50, she would likely still be with us according to her physicians.

I take this moment to ask you to get the colonoscopy.... It's painless.

God Bless his family. He was a straight forward speaker. I enjoyed listening to him.

Whenever I saw him debating a political opposite, it was done with class and a gentlemanly style.

Prayers to your family, Tony.

Hopefully his life and medical insurance carrier will treat his family better than they treat the families of working Americans because of the policies that he and Bush advocated. Other than that, it is one less Republican vote in November.

I think this might wake up 3 friends of mine who are well over 50 and have not been checked, and 2 of them still smoke. They have come a long way on these procedures, as my first one was in 1991. Most recent was in Nov. 06, and the procedure is very easy. Tony was one of the most competent news personalities. Caught an interview with him some time ago with NBC's David Gregory and he was still very upbeat and positive about his future. What a great attitude he had! RIP, Tony.
