In other news, former CNN reporter Miles O'Brien has been appointed Director of NASA. Since, y'know, he has the same name as the engineer character on Deep Space Nine.

Im not totally thrilled. Sure it's a PR position, but something about this appointment rubs me wrong. Yes he's a brain surgeon. You all are going on about it like Jethro Bodine! Frankly, watching him argue with Michael Moore is a bit much. Sure, MM is a propogandist, but watching celebrity millionaire Gupta ARGUE over Cuba's per person spending being $229 vs $251 is grotesque! I'm glad you think he looks good - you're paying for his vacations and facial peels. As for his Iraq involvement - BFD! So he did some brain surgery there...Gee, I would fucking hope so!! That IS his job you know. Good to see he's PR'd that act. As for past surgeon generals Coop and Elders, the former was amazingly professional - keeping his anti-abortion beliefs to himself while in the position. And Jocelyn Elders was not a "nut". Her comments on sex education were taken out of context in a deliberate attempt to destroy her reputation (and Clinton's - she was a progressive smart woman who was targeted by the Right - it's sad to hear people continue to spew their slander). Ugh... Obama seems to have found his equivalent in medicine. You all better pray he works toward real reform. Time is running out! Obama's personal family history is amazingly subversive, but BOY is he desperately middle-of-the-road. I hope this isn't 4 years of watching him trying to assimilate. I've a fear he'll be strictly status quo all the way. No Health reform. No significant alternative energy plans. Just 4 years of trying to look cool - trying to be a black JFK. I would've preferred a new face for SG.

I'm sure Oprah is disappointed, as she thought Dr. Oz had the "in".

@langtry: Well, she's fortunate he wasn't tapped for the job 'cause Operah has changes to make this year. She's gonna lose that weight and have sex. That's what I heard.

What does the Surgeon General really do anyway? Does he lead a small army of scalpel jockeys across the Delaware to fight the Redcoats?

If so, shouldn't we have a really hot person leading the army? After all he still has his hair.

I think Vote for the Worst picked Sanjaya again and O got confused. How many hairdos does Gupta have?

I would have thought he'd go with Dr. Philip Chandler. Now THAT would be the pick!

WTF? Does Paul Krugman read the posts here?

*************

"Before he was a talking head, he was a real doctor! A neurosurgeon. One time he went to report from Iraq and did emergency surgery to help save a soldier's life!"

Do we know this for a fact? Has anyone spoken to the soldier or witnesses to confirm this?

With Neel Kashkari at the Fed, Sanjay at the National Scalpel -- can we have that lovely lady from Top Chef at the FDA? Too few ladies being appointed.

Oh cool. He can try and downplay the quality of universal health care in other countries while ignoring the lack of quality in private sector health care here in the states.

None will ever stir my heart the way the almost mythologicical greatness that was Dr. C. Everett Coop did.

Well, I guess I can kiss my hope for universal single-payer healthcare goodbye. Not that I was ever that optimistic about it in the first place.

@crookedE: Dude... talk to Tom Daschle, not this guy. Though you're right not to have any hope for it, unfortunately.
