In light of Tony Snow's insensitive comments about pressuring Ashcroft while he was in intensive care ("...because he had an appendectomy, his brain didn't work?"), one feels like applying the same standard to Snow. Snow just recently had to take a break from his White House duties after his colon cancer returned. If he thinks it so easy for the AG to do his job from the hospital why did he take the time off himself?
There is a key difference: while unbelievably insensitive and ridiculous, an appendectomy does not in fact impair brain function, but in his job, Tony Snow frequently talks out of his ass.
