Understatement of the Year: Discovery Institute Just Doesn't Get It
"We're disappointed," Bruce Chapman, president of the Discovery Institute told Washington Post staff writer Tommy Nguyen. "We met all their conditions --screening the film for them, agreeing [to list the Smithsonian] director's name on the invitation and so forth -- and then some mention of this in the media, and now they want to backtrack to some degree, and we don't get it." [emphasis added]
In its statement reported yesterday in the Washington Post, the Smithsonian said it will honor theagreement to screen the film June 23, but that it does not endorse the film and will not accept the agreed-upon fee offered for the auditorium
