Gangster government and the Gulf oil spill |

[Washington Examiner] The political fallout from Jindal's book is likely to be magnified by an Interior Department inspector general report. Interior IG Mary Kendall investigated claims that the White House misrepresented the views of seven scientists who had been asked to assess the effect of a six-month moratorium on drilling in the Gulf. "After reviewing different drafts of the Executive Summary that were exchanged between DOI and the White House prior to its final issuance, the OIG determined that the White House edit of the original DOI draft Executive Summary led to the implication that the moratorium recommendation had been peer-reviewed by experts," Kendall said. White House energy czar Carol Browner was responsible for the revisions that prompted the outside scientists to protest publicly that they were being misrepresented by federal officials. |

#1 When you ride roughshod over everybody there's always any number of folks willing to investigate and testify to bring you back down to earth. So do 4,999 comments include this one, or is this the 5,000th when I submit it? Don't I get to be a Special Silver Snarker? What's the next award level after 5,000 comments? |
