Muzzled...Not

Famous muzzled NASA global warming fanatic James Hansen was not so muzzled after all:

"We have over 1,400 opportunities that you've availed yourself to, and yet you call it, you know, being stifled," said Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican.

Mr. Hansen responded: "For the sake of the taxpayers, they should be availed of my expertise. I shouldn't be required to parrot some company line."

Let's see. The "consensus" is that global warming exists. President Bush, as recently as within the last month, has talked of the dangers of global warming.

Note to Hansen: That global warming is real is the company line. You'll have to find some other way to feed that inner anti-establishment rebel.
