Tony Snow, sick, cancels Ohio speech
ASHLAND, OH The university said Snow's doctors have told him he cannot
travel, and that Snow will be replaced by the president's brother,
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at Thursday's fundraising dinner for
the Ashbrook Scholar program.
Snow, 52, joined CNN as a conservative commentator in April. He
became White House press secretary in April 2006 and served until
last August.
In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and was diagnosed with
cancer. In March 2007, he underwent surgery to remove a growth in
his abdominal area. Doctors determined it was a recurrence of his
cancer.
Ashland had no details on Snow's illness and CNN's public
relations department had no immediate comment Wednesday.
