So we have an asshole seeking the wingnut vote. When the taxpayers realize the amount of money he is wasting going after citizens that have committed no crimes, he will be discarded with all the rest of the demigogues.
Oh, Mann: Cuccinelli targets UVA papers in Climategate salvo | The Hook News Blog
No one can accuse Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli of shying from controversy. In his first four months in office, Cuccinelli directed public universities to remove sexual orientation from their anti-discrimination policies, attacked the Environmental Protection Agency, and filed a lawsuit challenging federal health care reform. Now, it appears, he may be preparing a legal assault on an embattled proponent of global warming theory who used to teach at the University of Virginia, Michael Mann.
In papers sent to UVA April 23, Cuccinellis office commands the university to produce a sweeping swath of documents relating to Manns receipt of nearly half a million dollars in state grant-funded climate research conducted while Mann now director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State was at UVA between 1999 and 2005.
