A Young Bush Appointee Resigns His Post at NASA

George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.

Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé on file at the agency asserted.

Officials at NASA headquarters declined to discuss the reason for the resignation.

The point should not be lost that had Mr. Deutsch not been caught on the issue of his resume, he'd still be scamming us on the science...on behalf of the Bush administration....

Pathetic, and in my view, criminal.

I dont think you have to have the proper "credentials" anymore. All you need to do is do what you are told.
