We're really seeing the trees here. This blogger hits it right:

...instead of the story being about a 24-year-old lying, it should be about this: how did this guy, who already had dubious qualifications, make it into NASA with such an obvious lie on his resume? To work for a federal agency, including NASA, extensive background checks are usually required. If I was able to uncover the truth about Deutsch in one phone call, then he must have been placed in his current position without any investigation, due to his loyal service on the Bush presidential campaign. http://scientificactivist.blogspot....or-resigns.html

Sound familiar? Bush putting unqualified boobs in high positions?

Any fucking bells and whistles going off yet?

I'm so fucking tired of seeing this shit with this Administration. This fucking cronyism bullshit is endless.

And you Conservatives who yell out about ending Affirmative Action need to keep your fucking mouths shut from now on. If Bush is going to hire unqualified little shits into highly responsible positions, how is that any fucking different than hiring someone of a different race that may have a slightly less exemplary resume versus a caucasion applicant with a highly remarkable resume? It's just plain fucking silly.

I'd say whomever is the person in charge of doing the background checks should go with him...

And I would hate to think that young people would only be getting one-half of this debate from NASA. That would mean we had failed to properly educate the very people who rely on us for factual information the most."

Since when has it been NASA's job to provide the religious half of the debate on creation?
National Aeronautics and Space Admin... Maybe they should call it NASRA (National Aeronautics, Space and Religion Admin).
