The Deadenders

Apparently some members of the Bush administration have not gotten the grand gesture Bush himself is making in cooperating fully with the Obama transition team. The twit he put in at NASA for one (and let's hope only). From the Orlando Sentinel:

NASA administrator Mike Griffin is not cooperating with President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team, is obstructing its efforts to get information and has told its leader that she is “not qualified” to judge his rocket program, the Orlando Sentinel has learned.

....

In addition, Griffin is scripting NASA employees and civilian contractors on what they can tell the transition team and has warned aerospace executives not to criticize the agency’s moon program, sources said.

Griffin’s resistance is part of a no-holds-barred effort to preserve the Constellation program, the delayed and over-budget moon rocket that is his signature project.

Like a scorpion, it stings while dying.

or is it something about Florida?
