It gets better. Apparently George "It's a theory" Deutsch did not graduate from Texas A&M after all and withdrew from there in June '04 without a degree. Apparently, the qualifications to become a Presidential appointee (and thus official censor) to NASA are, umm, nil. More importantly, it appears that he claimed to have a degree (if the New York Times article is to be believed). So, not only does he have no experience in science, and got his job as a political kickback, but he may have lied about his qualifications.
Hat tip to John Kotinek for passing me on the link.

Okay, did anyone else see the White House's fake "conversation" between Bush and the troops? It was absolutely brutal. I know that all presidental appearances are well choreographed, but for crying out loud this thing was so badly done that it was embarrassing to watch.

Yeah. I see a long future in politics for the kid :)
Sounds like Deutsch is doing a heckuva job!
