have embellished his resume by claiming that he graduated from the University of Texas.This was the man who was sending directives to world renowned climate scientists on what they should say about Global Warming.He promptly resigned.
This incident,like many others in this administration, shows a mad race among the faithful to become ” A Made
Man/Woman” of this administration by performing acts that would be deemed illegal or insane in rational circles.Starting with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, whose contempt for the Constitution provides the framework for the Capos like Libby,Hadley,Cambone and lesser lights one could say the U.S. Government now openly acts like a criminal enterprise with the more brazen ones being rewarded the most.
What is different about this administration is that it wants the world to know that nothing can stop its mad march and all the old conventions among nations have broken down, with the U.S. poking its thumb in other’s eyes.Given their desire to show off who is boss,the next episode in this madness is likely to be more brutal and more bloody than anything we have experienced in the past four and a half years. All systems are go for these evil pricks.
But there is some good news here – he was outed. The press covered it. They’re starting to smell blood, and nothing sells like scandal. And there’s lots of scandal to be found in this administration. I’m expecting it to look like the California gold rush once the [owners of the] press decides their bottom line is more important than their loyalty to a tottering giant.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. The snowball is gathering momentum rolling down the hill. Enjoy the show – this is just an opening act.
Hubris creates its own nemesis, and these guys got hubris in spades.
I sure hope you’re right, KP.
Tom Delay was just named to a couple of committees, yesterday I think, and NASA oversight was included. A judiciary committee overseeing the Abramoff investigation and the big Appropriations Comm were also a couple he snagged.

Pro-Bush Nasa official quits over false CV
George Deutsch resigned after Texas A&M University said he attended the institution but had not completed the course.
In an e-mail last October Deutsch wrote:
“The theory that the universe was created by a ‘big bang’ is just that — a theory. It is not proven fact, it is opinion. Yes, the scientific community by and large may share this opinion, but that doesn’t make it correct … It is not Nasa’s place, nor should it be, to make a declaration such as this about the existence of the universe that discounts intelligent design by a creator — the other half of the argument.”

● A Young Bush Appointee Resigns His Post at NASA – NYT
A BUSH presidential appointee to NASA told a web designer for the research agency that he would have to go through the site and stick the words ‘theory’ before every reference to the big bang.
George Deutsch, 24, a man whose qualifications include being a 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign worker, was seen by Bush as the ideal man as his appointed spinner to NASA.
“But I will not let myself be reduced to silence.”
