WH is lawyering up.

..... and Tony Snow is a big liar.

Why does anyone even ask him questions anymore?

Bush is bracing for new scrutiny - baltimoresun.com:

WASHINGTON: President Bush is bracing for what could be an onslaught of investigations by the new Democratic-led Congress by hiring lawyers to fill key White House posts and preparing to play defense on countless document requests and possible subpoenas.

Bush is moving quickly to fill vacancies within his stable of lawyers, though White House officials say there are no plans to drastically expand the legal staff to deal with a flood of oversight.

'No, at this point, no,' Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, said recently. 'We'll have to see what happens.'

Snow rebutted the notion that Bush is casting about for legal advice in the wake of his party's loss of control of the Congress.

'We don't have a war room set up where we're ... dialing the 800 numbers of law firms,' he said.
