White House: The Earth is Moving
White House Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto (the office’s other Tony) handled the morning briefing chores this morning and offered this piece of news:
“The president has said since June of 2001 that the earth is moving and that humans are playing a large role in warming.”
The earth is moving?
“DId I say moving?” Fratto replied. “It is also moving. It is moving and spinning and warming, and humans are playing a role in warming.”
And, coincidentally, Fratto and the press corps were up and moving moments later as part of an evacuation of the White House Conference Center and other nearby buildings after a bomb scare. After a half-hour or so, everybody moved back in.
