"hazy memories," the White House on Friday changed key details of its defense in a mushrooming controversy over federal prosecutor firings that may cost Attorney General Alberto Gonzales his job.
maybe they need a course or some meds to improve memory? or is Reagan's Alzheimers contagious?--snip--
Snow, who earlier this week passed along those claims, carefully backed off during two briefings with reporters on Friday, explaining that
"at this juncture, people have hazy memories." "at this juncture, people have hazy memories."?
meaning what? They can't remember which set of lies they are suppose to tell?--snip--
On the question of whether the firings were because of poor job performance, Snow declared "I'm not going to be the fact witness" but hinted that it would be enough to resist Bush policies "for reasons of conscience or whatever."
"Loyalty to the President means doing your job and faithfully carrying out the priorities of the administration," he said, saying that it would be enough to disagree on "something like the death penalty or pornography statutes."
Asked whether Bush might have ordered the firings, Snow said "anything is possible" but emphasized "I don't think so" and went on:
"I want you to be clear here. Don't be dropping it at the president's feet.""Don't be dropping it at the president's feet."? If we can't drop the pile of poop at his feet, maybe we can drop it in his lap?
