Some people say Katie Couric should interview Tony Snow

[Atman]

Just sayin.

1. Cancer is not a game

and to toy with it like this is reckless.

[Atman]

4. My father died of lung cancer.

I'm not toying with anything. I feel badly for Tony Snow and his family, genuinely.

As I do for the Edwardses.

11. I didn't mean you

I mean those who are talking about the Couric interview.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. It's time for this disease to stop. It's way past time for a cure.

2. I get it--but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

And his prognosis is far worse than Elizabeth Edwards' whose own is very grim.

[Horse with no Name]

5. I don't think either is one-upping each other

In fact, I believe that both have very similar and grim prognoses regardless of what is reported.

[blondeatlast]

9. Well, the emphasis is on the grim, so what I said perhaps shouldn't matter.

I've had enough experience in my own family to know that the best I can do now is offer my hope for their comfort, mostly, and possible recovery.

3. I think she should interview rudi

Lets send NBC an email asking for her to interview him. Ask him if the prostrate cancer interviews with his sex life and how much viagra does he use. That would be appropriate according to the interview she did on the Edwards.

6. And if he wants her to, I'm sure it can be arranged.

The Edwards chose to do it. Presumably there were any number of shows and interviewers they could have picked, and they picked her.

7. I think this is cutting it a bit close n/t

[Atman]

8. I realize it is. But honestly, I wanted to get it out there before someone...

...had the chance to get it out there in much worse way. There are moles and rabble rousers on DU who deliberately post shit to make DU look bad.

You know "some people" really were thinking it. It was going to come up. It's kinda like a kick in the head to read the words after hearing the news this morning.

Imagine how the Edwardses must have felt? Personally, some people (actually, maybe just me) wishes Katie would read it.

10. Couric should just go away

[soothsayer]

12. Actually, she should. It's good to keep cancer in the news, plus

colon cancer is right up her alley, so to speak.

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. Yikes. I wouldn't wish Katie Couric on anyone with cancer.

When even Laura Ingraham thinks you're a conservative hack, you must really suck.

No one deserves scrutiny for doing the best they can to deal with their medical issues. Tony Snow is America's Top Used Car Salesman Stereotype, but it's really unfortunate that he has cancer.

14. Excellent and so true.
