Who is George Deutsch, Part II

Several days ago, I blogged about George Deutsch, the Bush appointed 24 year old NASA employee that has been censoring the NASA scientists and telling them they must add the word "theory" after every reference to the Big Bang. In that post, based on news reports at the time, I said he was a journalism graduate of Texas A&M. The Scientific Activist tells us that, no, he isn't a graduate. He dropped out to join the Bush campaign. [Does this sound familiar? I hear bells ringing about an Air National Guardsmen who kind of dropped out to join a political campaign.]

Through my own investigations I have just discovered that George Deutsch, the Bush political appointee at the heart of administration efforts to censor NASA scientists (most notably to prevent James Hansen from speaking out about global warming), did not actually graduate from Texas A&M University. This should come as a surprise, since the media has implied otherwise, with even The New York Times describing the 24-year-old NASA public affairs officer, as “a 2003 journalism graduate of Texas A&M.” Although Deutsch did attend Texas A&M University, where he majored in journalism and was scheduled to graduate in 2003, he left in 2004 without a degree
