Due to compassion, they will not lose their job as Bush will not fire them.

[Enterprise]

Yeah, well the boss stung back and as we all know, bee poop rolls downhill.

Could there possibly be a better example of why all Clinton Communist hold-overs must be fired?

University of Virginia climatologist Patrick Michaels said the bureaucrats, as Bush would call them, knew the models were suspect when they issued the report.

"As it stands, it is the blackest of marks upon U.S. environmental science in recent decades," Michaels wrote in a review of the report for the libertarian Cato Institute. "The historic credibility of our considerable efforts in this science ... (is) at stake."

I apologize to GW for every scathing remark I've posted in the last few days. Please consider them heaped with additional vitriol and redirected at the EPA pseudo-scientists who perpetrated this bogus announcement. I DO hope some heads roll, but they are civil "servants" after all so I doubt much can be done to them. Hmmm, how about just abolishing the agency. I'd find that quite acceptable.

They should be fired, the question is, as government employees can they be fired? I don't think they can, they can be shuffled around to cause more havoc, but not fired.

Sorry Mr. Michaels - this isn't the first time - nor will it be the last time the bureaucrats at EPA make up their mind about something and then find a way to prove it.

Ari Fleischer said at the press briefing yesterday that the EPA report is the official Administration position.

In response to a question, he endorsed the findings. He was quite clear about this.

The Administration's position is that global warming is real and that it is "likely mostly" due to human activity.

Read the transcript of Ari's remarks if you don't believe me.

Me thinks Christie Todd Whitman wants to be a Bush Lap Dog! Just like she was with Clinton. Why President Bush doesn't dump her arse is beyond me. She is USELESS!!

[Ol' Sparky]

If this was put out against Bush's wishes -- and that is hard to believe given all of the other intentional compromises by this Administration -- then Christie Todd Whitman and any other else responsible for the release of the report MUST be fired. Nothing else is acceptable.
