One week after Karl Rove's resignation (and with Bush's approval ratings at an all time low) White House press secretary Tony Snow has announced his impending departure, citing his reasons as purely monetary.

"I'm not going to be able to go the distance, but that's primarily for financial reasons." Snow said. "I've told people when my money runs out, then I've got to go."

For the record, Snow was previously diagnosed with colon cancer in 2005, however he claims his health condition has since stabilized. Meanwhile, his reported annual salary is a paltry $168,000.
