Harriet Miers Idea To Fire Prosecutors Or Not? Bushco Can't Decide

    For the past five days or so, White House mouthpiece Tony Snow and other administration people have been saying that it was Harriet  Miers who had the original idea of firing U.S. attorneys, but now, as is usual with this group of hoods, they have changed their story once again.

Q Tony, do you now know whether it was Harriet Miers who first brought up the idea of removing all 93?

MR. SNOW: Again -- no, I don't. And what we've said -- I tried to make clear earlier today, the most -- here's what I can say -- the most certain thing I can say at this juncture is that Karl Rove has a recollection of Harriet having raised it with him, and his expressing to her that he thought it was a bad idea.

Q Tony, if the White House is unsure who, exactly, came up with the idea, floated the idea to dismiss all 93 U.S. attorneys, and Karl Rove recalls it was Harriet Miers, has anyone at the White House thought to contact Harriet Miers and ask her if it was her idea?

MR. SNOW: The Counsel's Office has talked with her. The question is, does it matter? Does it matter who comes up with an idea?       Source

   I've stated before that I love those Tony Snow press briefings! He manages to say so much about so little and even then he says nothing!
