Ahem:

A NASA scientist [James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies] who said the Bush administration muzzled him because of his belief in global warming yesterday acknowledged to Congress that he’d done more than 1,400 on-the-job interviews in recent years.

Censorship?  Nah. 

However, the Administration would be justified in calling the guy a panty-waisted drama queen:

Mr. Hansen refused to denounce earlier comments he made referring to the White House as a “propaganda office,” and saying, “It seems more like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union than the United States.”
    “I was referring to the constraints of speaking to the media,” Mr. Hansen said, when asked about his comments.

 1,400 interviews.

It’s like he’s got a number tattooed on his forearm.

Republicans questioned him about his ties to prominent Democrats. 
Mr. Hansen received a $250,000 grant from the Heinz foundation, which is controlled by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat. Mr. Hansen was a vocal supporter of Mr. Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.
    “As far as I know, there’s no political connection to this award,” said Mr. Hansen, who has donated several thousand dollars to past presidential campaigns for Mr. Kerry and Mr. Gore. “It’s an environmental award.”

Mr. Hansen; you might have a future with the Minnesota Monitor.
