There's one gone, but how many more are there?

George C. Deutsch, the Bush-appointed NASA staff member who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and was responsible for adding the word "theory" to every agency website mention of the Big Bang, is gone. It seems there was a little problem with his resume: It says he graduated from Texas A&M University, and university officials have confirmed that he did not.

Deutsch did attend Texas A&M, but he did not graduate. However, the 24-year-old official (and apparently, unofficial) information distorter did work on Bush's re-election campaign and on the inaugural committee.

Deuthsch resigned from NASA yesterday when it became clear that he had falsified his resume.
