    Cooch is at it again — spending taxpayers’ money on another wild goose chase — and the “base” will just eat it up.

    Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has demanded that the University of Virginia turn over documents related to a former UVa climatology professor at the center of the so-called “climategate” scandal.

    Cuccinelli, a Republican from Fairfax County, is challenging in court the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions as a contributor to climate change.

    On April 23, Cuccinelli sent a “civil investigative demand” to UVa seeking documents related to the work of Michael Mann, a researcher who worked at UVa between 1999 and 2005 and is now at Penn State.

    I’m not an attorney and have no idea what a “civil investigative demand” is — but — could UVA tell Cooch to GFY?
