Deutsch: "He wants to demean the president"
Ah ha, this NASA guy was politcal all the way...


George C. Deutsch, the young NASA press aide who resigned on Tuesday in the center of a storm over his efforts to keep the agency's top climate scientist from speaking publicly about global warming, defended himself today in his first public interviews.
......
Mr. Deutsch contended that although Dr. Hansen was a scientist, he wanted to talk about policy as well as science. "He wants to demean the president, he wants to demean the administration and create a false perception that the administration is watering down science and lying to the public," Mr. Deutsch said. "And that is patently false."

1. Oh, really?
Funny, but that's the impression I got from other scientists, too........hm.

That's like the creationist pamphlets at the Grand Canyon.....no science there.

3. The administration and the preznit . . .
. . . are doing a fine job of demeaning themselves.

They don't need any help from a scientist to do that.


Now, where will young Mr. Nazi-Youth wind up? Maybe consulting with Brownie?

4. "And that is patently false."
The guy has to resign because he lied on his resume, and then he turns around and wants us to take him at his word?

"And that is patently false.", is his 'case'. Uh, right.

"And I really think you ought to get the undercoating package and extended warranty on that car."

6. Not only is Deutsch...
... a liar, but he's a stupid one, too. Has he already forgotten why attention was brought to him and his credentials? It was because he was foolish enough to fuck with the texts of people in NASA a helluva lot brighter and better-educated than he, for purely theocratic reasons.

Just when you think there couldn't be a bigger mushbrain than Brownie, along comes yet another one....

7. ummm
Bush is inherently undemeanable..

.. meaning he's already so low and stupid that
he could play limbo under a snake's belly.

10. In another time and another space-
Comrade Deutsch would have been a loyal Party officer in charge of political purity in government policy.

12. Nobody has to "demean" the "president."
He demeans himself, the U.S., and every last one of her citizens with every breath he takes.

He really doesn't need Dr. Hansen to do it for him.
