Obama Picks Some Non-Sanjay Gupta Person For Surgeon General
The world will always remember the day when the Obama presidency began its tragic downward spiral: the day that Dr. Sanjay Gupta, television's handsomest authority on thyroid pills, decided that he wanted to "spend more time with his family" rather than Serve the Nation as surgeon general. Since then, Obama has been helplessly casting about looking for America's Doctor and finding nothing but a swarm of venal insurance industry whores in white coats.
Until today! He announced that Dr. Regina Benjamin, in spite of a rather embarrassing lack of television shows, would be the new surgeon general. Dr. Benjamin is from Alabama, where the number one prescribed therapy for most ailments is "night crawlers." She will be awesome!
