Perhaps someone should tell Tony Snow that news networks tend to record / tape his press conferences. Watch this video of Tony Snow lying about Attorneygate.

Three months ago, Snow: “It’s pretty clear that these things are based on performance and not on sort of attempts to do political retaliation, if you will.”

When a reported asked yesterday, “At the beginning of this story, the President, you, Dan Bartlett, others said on camera that politics was not involved, this was performance-based, but –” Snow answered: “No, that is something — we have never said that.”

Yes Tony, that’s called lying.

    Ah, you know how they will parse it.

    “We said no political retaliation. We never said there were no political considerations.”
