A smart lawyer knows not to piss off the guy giving him his paycheck. :) It's a bonus he knows nothing about climatology....

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." ~Anne Frank

I don't think this current administration believes anything they aren't paid to believe.

American Petroleum Institute - nope, no global warming
Christian Right - nope, evolution is a "theory"
"" - nope, no stem cell research
Mining industry - nope, mercury's not that bad for you

Pretty soon, they'll be repealing the laws of mathematics, you know, because of the loaves and the fishes....:)

You left out another funny bit right after that:

"Dana Perino, a deputy White House press secretary, said Mr. Cooney “had long been considering his options following four years of service in the administration.” Ms. Perino said the decision was unrelated to revelations about the documents. Mr. Cooney did not return e-mails messages or phone messages left at his home.





Ms. Perino noted that the documents in question dated from 2003.





“He had accumulated many weeks of leave and had decided to resign and take the summer off to spend the time with his family,” Ms. Perino said. "

"Unrelated". Yeah, right. He happened to plan on leaving that day. Just a coincidence that it was two days after the revelations.
