Neil DeGrasse Tyson descends into Dan Rather territory. For years he has attributed to George Bush the following words after 9/11:
“Our God is the God who named the stars.”
Trouble is, nobody else on Planet Earth ever heard Bush say that, nor can anyone document him saying it. Added to various other things Tyson seems to have made up, it makes you wonder if the Cosmos star has a dependable connection with reality. Tyson’s response:
“I have explicit memory of those words being spoken by the President… Odd that nobody seems to be able to find the quote anywhere.”
Odd indeed.
