Snow on Bush involvement: ‘Anything’s possible.’

[cal04]

Just out from the AP:

The White House on Friday backed off its earlier contention that then-White House Counsel Harriet Miers first raised the idea of firing U.S. attorneys — an act that led to a firestorm of criticism of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

“It has been described as her idea but … I don’t want to try to vouch for origination,” said White House press secretary Tony Snow, who previously had asserted Miers was the person who came up with the idea. “At this juncture, people have hazy memories.” <…>

Asked if Bush himself might have suggested the firings, Snow said, “Anything’s possible … but I don’t think so.” He said Bush “certainly has no recollection of any such thing. I can’t speak for the attorney general. I want you to be clear here: don’t be dropping it at the president’s door,” Snow said.

1. Fuck you, Tony.

2. Tony Snow was NOT hired to convey the truth.

Let's not try to convince ourselves that he was.

3. IOW, that lie didn't stick, so let's try another one...

is there anything that Bush was ever involved in or remembers being involved in? :eyes:

4. “At this juncture, people have hazy memories.”

:wtf:

Memories get "hazy" depending on the "juncture"? (Alert the medical authorities! We've found a health toxin.)

5. Yeah, Everyone In The WH Is Walking Around In A Hazy Fog

And don't remember anything that happened in the last 6 years. That kind of makes sense actually. They're all afflicted w/ that neurological condition that makes you forget everything you just did a few moments ago and every moment is like a fresh start.

8. Maybe they really are all on Ambien.

Every day.

6. So, he doesn't deny that Bush suggested the firings

His response was, "anything's possible, but I don't think so..."

That's not exactly rock-solid.

7. Origination is always a very touchy national security issue.
