27 October 2007 - global warming testimony

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

The White House today requested a delay in answering reporters’ questions about White House editing of Congressional testimony on global warming. “We understand that certain groups may have failed their loyalty tests and become enemies of the Administration,” explained a confused underling. “But that’s not what this is about. We’re confident that we have selected our enemies appropriately. The real purpose of the pause is to get information from the FEMA about how to run a fake news conference.”

clue:

The White House edited the scientific guts out of Congressional testimony by Centers for Disease Control director Julie Gerberding.

The FEMA called a news conference on the California wildfires without enough lead time for reporters to show up, and then had its employees pose as reporters.
