White House can't get its lies straight

Professional liar and White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, flat out lied Tuesday when he told reporters that White House counsel Harriet Miers had suggested firing all 93 U.S. attorneys, and that it was "her idea only." Snow said Miers' idea was quickly rejected by the Department of Justice.

BUT, new e-mails from top administration officials show that the idea of firing all 93 U.S. attorneys was raised by White House adviser Karl Rove in early January 2005, indicating Rove was way more involved in the scheme than the White House previously acknowledged. Oops!

The latest e-mails, to be released Friday, show that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Rove were both involved in the discussion, and NEITHER rejected it out of hand.
