He wants to demean the president, he wants to demean the administration and create a false perception that the administration is watering down science and lying to the public

That’s only a theory.

While it’s true to say that a false perception of the administration watering down science and lying to the public is patently false (it’s a part of the description, after all), what about the TRUE perception of the administration watering down science and lying to the public?

i Presume george knows what’s patently false.

So lying on a federal job application is a felony. Give me a couple days I will find the section of code if no one else does.

I want this guy charged, convicted, sentenced and delivered to the federal pen. This is just the kind of thing that plays in the media, and does so much to rectify things.

He clearly violated the law. And there are many, many others just like him in just that position, whether they left school a year ago or 8.

This guy won’t get no presidential pardon. If he goes down it is gonna be tough on him. He won’t have the high-priced lawyers and the defense fund and all that.

Take him down and every single other one already within the system is gonna gulp and start looking for the exits.

Make it a media storm and see how much of a ‘chilling effect’ we can have on these numbnuts.

Do it George, DO IT!!

I believe the operative statute might be 18 USC Section 1001.

As much as I’d like to see losers like this get what’s coming to `em, he lied on his resume, not necessarily his application.

Outright lying on your resume is considered bad form, but it’s a completely different thing from lying on your application.

That dude is projecting in such a way that I fear it may tear a hole in the fabric of space and time. (I originally typed “dud”, which also seems appropriate.)

i have worked in both the northern and eastern divisions of federal court here in california. i got the job cos i worked on the unabomber case and it is true that lying on a federal application is against the law. you have to sign a statement swearing to the truth or else.

and…

“he lied on his resume, not necessarily his application.”

if there is that glaring of a discrepancy between the two, someone HAS to take that ball and run with it.

I’ll plead ignorance as to the mechanics of applying for a federal job, but is the resume not incorporated into the application at some point?

“he lied on his resume, not necessarily his application.”

Well, on the last job application I filled out, there was a section that required me to show my educational history, including my degree, the year, and the school.

George’s former employer being the federal government, and not a mom-and-pop small company, I’m betting his job application had a similar section.

FYI — for the job I’m in now, a college degree was a requirement, and I had to show proof. I work for a municipal government.

“I want this guy charged, convicted, sentenced and delivered to the federal pen.”

The gentle voice of merciful, compassionate, tolerant liberalism.

I shouldn’t have said that, they’re going to crucify me!

I love the irony of him whining about someone else’s “connections that run to the top of the Democratic Party” while completely ignoring his own connections.

It’s called hypocrisy, John. There’s a hypocrite in you and there’s a hypocrite in me. Anyone who says he is not a hypocrite, is being a hypocrite.

I’m sure this kind of thing happens too often, but I clicked on the link to the story and the second two paragraphs were nowhere to be seen (or possibly I missed them, but I doubt it). And what’s funny is that the NY Times article itself gives a link to what they say is a partial transcript; but that only feeds through to a short summary and a link to the audio. So this “all the way up to the top of the Democratic Party” stuff is gone.

Which kind of sucks, as I was planning to blog about this story and wanted to link to the original NY Times story. But now I’m stuck linking only to this post; making me look like a big copycat who has to rely on Sadly, No! to do my research for me. Which is entirely the case, and that’s why I don’t like it.

BTW: Who IS at the top of the Democratic Party, and when do I get to punch them in the nose?

What, bruce? Are you implying that someone who commits a crime should not be prosecuted for said crime? I thought right-wingers were supposed to be “tough on crime.”
Oh, oops, I forgot–IOKIYAR. Nevermind.

Anyone who says he is not a hypocrite, is being a hypocrite.

To borrow a phrase: Sadly, No! People aren’t hypocrites just for saying that they’re not hypocrites. If anything, they’d either be liars or just sadly mistaken. They’d be hypocrites if they denounce hypocrites while being one. But the mere act of denying being a hypocrite does not make one so.

And no, not everyone is a hypocrite. I know it sounds hipply cynical, but it’s simply not the case. Some of us really do know what the fuck we’re talking about and don’t accidentally undermine our ideals with our action. I, for example, do not denounce people for acting in the way that I act. But then again, there really isn’t much to denounce about perfection.

Thus said, I do agree that John wasn’t pointing out “irony”. That’s a often misused phrase people use when they mean hypocrisy. But frankly, I’m not so sure his usage wasn’t correct. I could defend that usage, though it’d be far more boring than this boring comment is.

Doctor Biobrain, I said “Anyone who says he is not a hypocrite, is being a hypocrite.” But I did not say that such a hypothetical person is being a hypocrite simply on the basis of saying that he/she is not a hypocrite. My statement is a belief that I hold, not necessarily a fact, and I probably should have stated so.

However, I continue to believe that anyone who says he is not a hypocrite is a hypocrite, not necessarily by the act of denying his/her culpability in the act of hypocrisy, but because I believe anyone who would deny it, probably also denounces hypocrisy in others.

How’s that for tortured logic?

Just out of curiosity, how come is Seb posting Gavin’s stuff for him? Is Gav’s computer busted? Has Gav been whisked off to a secret, Eastern European prison site, but is managing to send messages out by carrier pigeon? Or has Seb just become Gav’s perky new secretary, taking dictation while perching bouncily on his lap (titter!)? :::shudder::: OK, I shouldn’t have conjured up that mental image….

Don’t ask, Marq, trust me, don’t ask. The powers that be runnin’ this site have a way of “taking care of” those who ask such questions. I’m kidding, powers that be! I’m kidding.

BTW, Doctor Biobrain, I don’t mind being challenged and confronted by someone like you, someone who seems to actually use his brain, and someone who actually comes at me with logic. It sure beats idiotic cheap shots and ad hominem attacks.

How’s that for tortured logic?

Uhm, well, pretty tortured. But because I really can’t stand these kinds of absurd discussions, I guess it’ll have to do.

But I’m still not a god damned hypocrite.

Doctor Biobrain, apparently there is a link to Part I of the 4-part interview on the WTAW website where the ‘all the way to the top’ was mentioned. http://tinyurl.com/bbvjf

I don’t know where the other 3 parts are.

I don’t mind being challenged and confronted by someone like you, someone who seems to actually use his brain,

Coming from you doctor, I would blush, had I not removed those parts from my brain last year. And while I’m a doctor in name only and perform experimental medicine strictly as a hobby, I respect your professional opinion and, as one doctor to another, would tell you that you should continue doing your wonderful magic; if only that didn’t sound so totally gay. And unfortunately, I don’t mean that in the homosexual sense. It just sounds gay. So I guess I’ll say nothing.

apparently there is a link to Part I of the 4-part interview on the WTAW website where the ‘all the way to the top’ was mentioned.

Yeah, but that only links to the sound clip. And I’ll be damned if I have to take dictation from some turdass who lies about graduating from Texas A&M or some punkass A&M radio station. I might be a two-bit Texas blogger, but I don’t type for fucking Aggies.

I’ll just take Sadly No’s! word for it and link to them instead; though I have to wonder why the Times removed the juicier quotes.

The bedwetters are all about law and order until a fellow bedwetter commits a crime. Then they scream at “lefties” who want to prosecute the law breaker.
Luckily, I’m not a “leftie”, I say fry the little lying bastard.

Deutsch’s primary transgression was that he lied (or provided a false statement) on his resume. Making false statements to a federal official is a felony under 18 USC 1001. Whether or not the statement is made under oath.

Thanks for the cite MJN, looks like the right statute. Hmm “imprisoned not more than 5 years”…

With this type of wanker even if he got six months the rest of them would be looking for new jobs immediately; they are all p*ssies when it comes right down to it..

“… and perform experimental medicine strictly as a hobby,”

I must say, this is the funniest line I’ve come across at Sadly, No! in several months.

Ok, so it looks like I pulled an Alanis and used “ironic” when I shouldn’t have. Sorry!

Are you sure Alanis applied the wrong usage of the term, John? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, irony can refer to: “Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.” It seems to me that this is what she was attempting to portray in the song.

“It sure beats idiotic cheap shots and ad hominem attacks.”

The irony is astounding.

Sorry, Bruce, but “rain on your wedding day” is not irony, it’s bad luck and a pain in the ass. “A fly in your chardonnay” is not irony, it’s disgusting. Not everything that is unexpected is ironic. For instance, the fact that I know those Alanis lyrics is not irony, it’s just an embarrassment.

She’s not one of my favorite artists, Dan, and “Ironic” was not one of her best songs either, but every once in awhile she does come out with songs that more adequately showcase her talents. It’s kind of ironic, but the less angry she gets, the better she gets. That’s just the opposite when it comes to most artists, if it’s real anger and not faux angst that is. I kind of enjoy her cover of Seal’s “Crazy.” At least it’s somewhat catchy.

BTW, Dan, what are some of your favorite artists?
