"Former Lobbyist Leaves White House Post" (in shame)

[GreenPartyVoter]

Or so it ought to be said, if we had real news media.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A former oil industry lobbyist who changed government reports on global warming has resigned in a long-planned departure, the White House said Saturday.

Philip Cooney, who was chief of staff of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, left Friday, two days after it was revealed that he had edited administration reports on climate change in 2002 and 2003.

His departure was "completely unrelated" to the disclosure, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

2. I wonder how many more "pencil whippers"

there are in the various departments.

3. Oh, the poor baby!

He'll probably have to slave away from now on in some lucrative energy industry job.
