Deutsch determined to further embarrass self 5

Oh Jeebus. I haven't written much about the sad, hilarious, but mostly sad saga of George Deutsch, the late lamented NASA press aide who spent his days telling some of the world's premiere scientists to be sure to follow mentions of the Big Bang with the word "theory" and to stop being so icky-scary about the whole global warming thing, and then got called on it, and then resigned in shame, and then sunk further into shame when a blogger uncovered the fact that he didn't graduate from Texas A&M, contra his resume, and may not have graduated from college at all. Lots of other bloggers and newspapers have covered it in detail.

But this ... dude. George. A piece of friendly advice: STFU.

    ahhh- that's good satireuh, dude, you didn't just 'disagree' with Dr. Hansen, you like, censored him... I'm pretty sure that IS 'watering down and lying' about science. This guy was a 24- year old college drop-out who helped Bush get elected- his reward was a job censoring and re-framing respected scientists at NASA for the GOP agenda.
    And now the liberal media is ruining his 'good name'. I feel so ashamed.

    George DeutchSorry if I mangled his name. What is the big fuss?

    Isn't this being blown way out of porportion! This isn't watergate. The fate of the world doesn't hang in the balance. Was a resignation necessary unless it was requested by his superiors? There are many brilliant minds out there without college degrees.

    Albert Einstien was one and Mark Twain was another. Are we concerned with the quality of minds or the paper that comes with. If one spoke inn-apropriately representing Nassa. Then that person and that person alone is accountable for his irresponsible actions. Is the word Nassa associated with snooty, uppity, I have never gotten this impression. The nassa articles I read are written by intelligent, caring and inquisitive people. So what's the fuss?

    "nassa", Is that a word?Bush administration political appointees, the gift that keeps on giving.  "Brownie" is blackmailing Bush now.  "Scooter" is ratting out Cheney.
    Buy this guy?  Wow!  What's next?
    Deutsch directing Lynndie England on a prison work detail piling up naked climate scientists in a cheerleader pyramid whilst ciggarette dangling and pointing at their genitalia?
    Would anyone be surprised?

    Nasa and policy:I would think that if the space program had a  problem with this man's view of his job description. Then it is up to the space agency to better communicate it's expectations to this individual on just what his job entails. Is it this man's fault? Or is it the space program director or another's. Why don't we go down the list. Any industry has to inform completely it's repesenatives in every aspect of their job. Public Relations can adopt many outlooks and has to be well defined by the Administration. I see a definate lack in this by this very article. How many should quit to pacify this entrenched scientist in or of the space program. Should we dismantle it all together. Do you begin to see how this has been blown out of shape.

    This world really has to take a reality break!
