Irrational Bush hatred infects top scientists! White House manipulates science, leaders in field say: "''When scientific knowledge has been found to be in conflict with its political goals, the administration has often manipulated the process through which science enters into its decisions,'' charges a document signed by 60 scientists in an unprecedented joint effort by the leaders of the nation's science establishment." Crony Conservatives see science an an unconvenient little practice by those that just don't see the futility of their actions. What kind of money can be made discovering new cures for cancer, or treating diseases, or learning how to help mentally ill people, or caretaking the environment, or peering into space. Don't they know that making money just means fudging the books, brokering a sweetheart deal or selling off government assets for a nice chunk of change? Where did these people get their MBA's from anyways....? On today's Talk of the Nation, Science Friday, John H. Marburger III, chief of the president's Office on Science and Technology Policy couldn't quite bring himself to defend the president outright but instead praised the president for being commited to performance. WTF? Dude, 60 of your fellow scientists, including "12 Nobel laureates, 11 winners of the National Medal of Science, three recipients of the prestigious Crafoord Prize, the heads of some of the country's leading universities and biomedical research institutes, and two former presidential science advisers" just put the smackdown on your administration's junk science, that's gotta hurt. If you hurry you might catch up with Colin Powell as you both chase your professional reputations through the Washington D.C. sewer system. | |
