Rest of the story "The scientist touted by CBS News' '60 Minutes' as arguably the 'world's leading researcher on global warming' and spotlighted as a victim of the Bush administration's censorship on the issue publicly endorsed Democrat John Kerry for president and received a $250,000 grant from the charitable foundation headed by Kerry's wife," Marc Morano reports at www.CNSNews.com. "Scientist James Hansen has also admitted that he contributed to two recent Democratic presidential campaigns. Furthermore, he acted as a consultant in February to former Vice President Al Gore's slide show presentations on 'global warming,' which Gore presented around the country. "But Scott Pelley, the '60 Minutes' reporter who profiled Hansen and detailed his accusations of censorship on the March 19 edition of the newsmagazine, made no mention of Hansen's links to Kerry and Gore and none to the fact that Kerry's wife — Teresa Heinz Kerry — had been one of Hansen's benefactors." As it turns out, Mr. Hansen made a similar charge against President Bush's father when he was president, Cybercast News Service said. In 1989, Mr. Hansen charged that the elder Mr. Bush was censoring his climate research. "Kerry and about a dozen other senators eventually co-signed a letter written by Gore, who was also a senator at the time, demanding an explanation for the alleged censorship."

Nice attempt at trying to weasel out of your original ignorant assumption. Maybe you'll think twice from here on in about jumping to conclusions and pointing fingers...

Another Bush hater A top producer at ABC News declared that President Bush "makes me sick" in an e-mail leaked to Matt Drudge and published at www.drudgereport.com. John Green, an executive producer of the weekend edition of "Good Morning America," unloaded on the president in an ABC company e-mail, Mr. Drudge said. "If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke," Mr. Green wrote. A friend of Mr. Green's at ABC told Mr. Drudge that Mr. Green is mortified by the e-mail. "John feels so badly about this e-mail. He is a straight shooter and great producer, who is always fair. That said, he deeply regrets the sentiment expressed in the e-mail and the embarrassment it causes ABC News."
