  Dr. Sanjay Gupta? Really?

  Glib, glib, and more glib. I appreciate your style as a blogger, but your "why can't we all be friends, hey, lighten up" attitude about why progressives shouldn't get too excited about this very poor choice for SG isn't even remotely convincing. The SG is an extremely important appointment, why can't we expect the appointee to be both a citizen's advocate, capable of articulating substantive policy reform, and also dedicated to helping American's understand and navigate these issues? It seems hypocritical to tout Gupta's credentials for the position on the one hand and then to denigrate the post and the nominee by suggesting neither are relevant to the policy reform effort. American's turn to the SG as the person capable of helping them make sense of all matters health related, this is not a throw-away post. Gupta's journalistic standards are shoddy at best. His poor judgement, evidenced by his tacky reporting on Moore's SiCKO and his superficial analysis of McCain's ill-conceived health policy proposals during the campaign should be enough to demonstrate he is an inappropriate choice for SG.
