Those remarks from the USGS only seemed to inflame the mercurial Kim, who then issued the following statement: "The undeniable truth is that the earth moved."

Moments after Mr. Kim made his remarks, however, they were refuted by White House spokesman Tony Snow, who made the following dismissive comment to reporters: "The earth may have moved for him, but we were not feeling much on this end."

Elsewhere, Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) defended his decision to take two congressional pages with him on a three-day camping trip to the Grand Canyon, telling reporters, "They were safer there than in Congress."
