Because nothing's funnier than a man with metastatic cancer

From: http://www.foxisevil.com/products/tony-snow-is-an-asshole-t-shirt



Some additional commentary from Charles Karel Bouley of the Huffington Post:

I hear about Tony Snow and say to myself, well, stand up every day, lie to the American people at the behest of your dictator-esque boss and well, how could a cancer NOT grow in you. Work for Fox News, spinning the truth in to a billion knots and how can your gut not rot? I know, it's terrible. I admit it. I don't wish anyone harm, even Tony Snow. And I do hope he recovers or at least does what he feels is best and surrounds himself with friends and family for his journey. But in the back of my head there's Justin Timberlake's "What goes around, goes around, comes around, comes all the way back around, ya.."

(Update: I'd like to go ahead and explicitly add that I think the t-shirt and Bouley's remarks are utterly disgraceful.)

It happens though. I've taken care of more than a few people with terminal illnesses, and jokes just happen during the day to day. Sometimes it even breaks the tension. There is an apporpriate side of poor taste. Good poor taste isn't mean though.
