From the New York Times, news that the good old revolving door between the Bush White House and vested corporate interests is alive and spinning a blur.
Philip A. Cooney, the White House staff member who repeatedly revised government scientific reports on global warming, will go to work for ExxonMobil in the fall, the oil company said today.
Mr. Cooney resigned on Friday as chief of staff to President Bush's environmental policy council, two days after documents obtained by The New York Times showed that he had edited the reports in ways that cast doubt on the link between greenhouse-gas emissions and rising temperatures.
Mr. Cooney worked as a lobbyist with the American Petroleum Institute, the main lobbying group for the oil industry, immediately before joining the White House staff.
