Obama's Proposed Energy Czar Scrubbed From Socialist Website

January 8th, 2009 3:32 PM

When president-elect Barack Obama appointed Carol Browner to be his "energy czar" back in December, the conservative blogosphere was buzzing about her being a member of Socialist International, "the worldwide organisation of social democratic, socialist and labour parties."

At the time, she was fourth on the website's list of members in the "Commission for a Sustainable World Society."

Not any longer, although it still is cached by Google (h/t Steven Milloy):

CAROL M. BROWNER
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency under President Bill Clinton. Leading the EPA from 1993 to 2001, she was the longest-serving Administrator in the agency’s history. Browner currently serves on the board of several non-profit organisations, including as chair of the National Audubon Society, one of the nation’s oldest environmental organisations, and as a member of the Board of the Directors of the Center for American Progress, the Alliance for Climate Protection and the League of Conservation Voters.

Why do you think this was scrubbed?
