Funny, wouldn't you think the Surgeon General would take the lead?





Oh, never mind.

1. What about "NO MORE CZARS"?

2. LOL. Not only has the GOP blocked appointment of a surgeon general to head up thousands of

uniformed medical responders who could rush in to help contain epidemics, the sequester ALONE cut $1.6 billion from the already-underfunded National Institutes of Sciences, the agency that enables research into ebola vaccines and treatments, and another giant chunk from the CDC, the front-line agency charged with protecting us from ebola outbreaks. Oh, and of course, the Surgeon General's budget was also hit hard.

SURE, we need an after-the-lion's-out-of-the-cage Republican czar to jump in and try to grab its tail...

3. The US Ebola crisis is entirely a product of Republican intransience!

4. I think you're correct!

5. If Obama selected a Czar now the Rethugs would say he is secretly supporting Putin.
