    whats the statute of limitations on being allowed to criticize a dead person, anyway? is it ok to point out that he was a jerk next week? or next month? i'm pretty sure i can talk shit about Alexander the Great at this point, so i know its less than a few centuries. should i just post my condolensces for the family that will never read this silly ass message board?

    no negative vibes, dude, your harshing my buzz. we only exchange positive views on the moving train, man. also, dont talk shit about one side unless you talk equal shit to the other. its only fair.

    I don't think there is any statute of limitations about being allowed to criticize a dead person, but what bothers me here are the people that are celebrating his death.

    I couldn't care less for Tony Snow, but as someone who has had cancer tough his family, I do feel for his friends and family... I've totally stayed away from this subject on the news, but even back when he was diagnosed, a lot of people commented on how nice of a guy he was, even (before his press secretary days) taking care of young reporters just starting in washington, etc...

    I disagree about 180 degrees with his politics, and he helped make a mockery out of political reporting with how he acted in briefings, but in the end, he was just a spokesman.

    Any why the hell are people blaming him for this war or the deaths of innocent people??? He started the job in 2006, the war/occupation was WELL underway, and with an administration that had/has no intention of ending it, exactly how is it their mouthpiece's fault that the war continued?

    I don't care much either way about Tony Snow, but I'm sorry for his family. I also don't care much about Ted Kennedy. But I recall a short while ago when Kennedy was diagnosed with his condition, any negativity in that thread was immediately shut down by Kat. I'd like to see Kat exercise that same sound judgement in these threads.

    I agree...
