Surprise! Dubya's choice for Surgeon General of the United States, James Holsinger, just happens to be a crooked, incompetent, homophobe who--surprise, again!--is also a big donor to Republicans, including noted nutcase Jim Bunning. Thank God that our government has learned its lessons about cronyism, and that this guy has no chance of being confirmed. Right? Right?

Do you remember Clinton's SG, Joycelyn Elders? She was a hard-working advocate for women's health issues, but finally got fired for her outspokenness.
Apparently some Kentuckians have to die twice or something--I always think of Kentucky as backwards (I'm aware of the irony of that sentence coming from an Arkansan), but they're apparently ahead of the curve on some things.
