Bad Surgeon General

James W. Holsinger, the current chief medical director at the VA and nominated to be the next surgeon general, is bad. He not only has some conservative and homophobic views about the world, but he also appears to be a bad doctor. It's hardly surprising that a Bush nominee is scary and inept, but when it comes to being "America's Doctor," I'd really like us to try to find someone who can make good judgments about the health of Americans. I'd hardly like to see America in the stirrups with this guy on the other side.
