That was a short vacation.

New York Times:
    Former Bush Aide Who Edited Reports Is Hired by Exxon
    By ANDREW C. REVKIN

    Philip A. Cooney, the former White House staff member who repeatedly revised government scientific reports on global warming, will go to work for Exxon Mobil this fall, the oil company said yesterday.

    Mr. Cooney resigned as chief of staff for President Bush's environmental policy council on Friday, two days after documents obtained by The New York Times revealed that he had edited the reports in ways that cast doubt on the link between the emission of greenhouse gases and rising temperatures.
Mr. Cooney was reported Sunday to be looking to "to resign and take the summer off to spend some time with his family."
