Here's a revealing little snippet from the Times about how the Bush administration determines how scientists are qualified to serve their country:

Earlier this year, after continuing complaints that the White House was asking litmus-test questions of nominees for scientific advisory panels, the first question asked of a candidate for a panel on Arctic issues, the candidate said, was: "Do you support the president?"
(via New York Times)

Right. After the complaints. Ever notice how when this administration gets caught doing something, he does it again, only harder and worse?

Reminds me of nothing so much as Comrades Stalin and Lysenko.
