Remember this jabroni? Well now he's whining.

Man Who Left NASA Says He's Under Attack

A staffer who resigned from NASA after he was accused of restricting access to a noted climate scientist said Thursday he was targeted because of his political ties.


This asshat isnt being targeted because of his political ties. Hes being singled out because he lied on his resume, and blatantly attempted to put religion into science.

Funny thing is, the Big Cable Three news networks have yet to air this story AFAIK. This all came to light, and is still being talked about thanks to bloggers. Thats right, the internet made this guy resign, and yours truly is just pushing more buttons. Behold, where it started:


Mr. Deutsch's educational record was first challenged on Monday by Nick Anthis, who graduated from Texas A&M last year with a biochemistry degree and has been writing a Web log on science policy, scientificactivist.blogspot.com.

After Mr. Anthis read about the problems at NASA, he said in an interview: "It seemed like political figures had really overstepped the line. I was just going to write some commentary on this when somebody tipped me off that George Deutsch might not have graduated."

He posted a blog entry asserting this after he checked with the university's association of former students. He reported that the association said Mr. Deutsch received no degree.

A copy of Mr. Deutsch's résumé was provided to The Times by someone working in NASA headquarters who, along with many other NASA employees, said Mr. Deutsch played a small but significant role in an intensifying effort at the agency to exert political control over the flow of information to the public.


Insert maniacal laughter here.
