So we have two unnamed sources. Sounds like the NY Slimes to me. Amazing that when "conservatives" write these kinds of articles, they are accepted as gospel, but when the WaPo or Slimes does it, we rightly question why no sources are given. For all we know, these are anti-Miers conservatives (of whom there are plenty) trying to "create" reality.
That is a distinct possibility. I am not offended by political maneuvering, but I detest outright lying.
