George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told
public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate
scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every
mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.

Jumped or pushed do we think?

Interesting to see where Mr Deutsch ends up now seeing as he seems to
have some heavyweight backing despite his apparent lack of
understanding of science ... oh ... and this priceless discovery ...


Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas
A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his
résumé on file at the agency asserted.

Whoops. I realise the standards of education are dropping but you'd
think Mr Deutsch would recall a small detail such as whether he'd
actually graduated or not.

I understand he's been offered the Jason Gastrich Chair in Ethics
Studies at Patriot U.

Officials at NASA headquarters declined to discuss the reason for the
resignation.

"Under NASA policy, it is inappropriate to discuss personnel matters,"
said Dean Acosta, the deputy assistant administrator for public
affairs and Mr. Deutsch's boss.
