WASHINGTON - White House press secretary Tony Snow said Friday he'll leave
sometime before the end of the Bush presidency because of financial
pressures.
He declined to say when he would depart, but that, "I'm going to stay as
long as I can."
The 52-year-old Snow, the father of three children, earns $168,000 as an
assistant to the president but made considerably more as a conservative
pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio. He was named press
secretary on April 26, 2006.
The White House has been shaken by the resignations of some of President
Bush's closest aides. Political strategist Karl Rove announced Monday that
he would leave at the end of the month. Longtime Bush adviser Dan Bartlett
left earlier this year and Andrew Card left earlier as Bush's chief of
staff.
Bush's term ends on Jan. 20, 2009.
"I will not be able to make it to the end of this administration, just
financially," Snow said. "This job has been such a pleasant surprise in how
much I like it. I love it."
Snow has been undergoing chemotherapy after doctors discovered a recurrence
of colon cancer in March. He said the last of eight scheduled chemotherapy
treatments would be on Friday. On Monday he will have a CAT scan to evaluate
his progress.
