Snow, 52, a former journalist and Fox News talk show host, has signaled in recent weeks that he probably would not finish the remainder of the Bush presidency, primarily because of financial concerns. He was leaving, he said today, "because I ran out of money."
Snow, the father of three children, earns $168,000 a year as the White House spokesman but made considerably more as an anchor for "Fox News Sunday" and a political analyst for the Fox News Channel, which he joined in 1996. He also hosted "The Tony Snow Show" on Fox News Radio.
How do you make $170k/yr and go broke? ... Ah yes. Subprime.
