American taxpayers must be consulted - and politics sidelined - if astronauts are to travel to the moon, Mars and beyond, [Moondoggle chair "Pete" ] Aldridge had said in an interview before Wednesday's hearing in Washington.

"We will only make a dent in this program in the next four years, so we've got to take the political aspect out," said Aldridge, a retired Defense Department official. "It cannot be sustainable if you make it political."

Ha ha.

I love the spectacle of Bush eating ribs, consulting with ordinary citizens.... What a farce.
