Kentucky’s very own bigot Dr. James W. Holsinger becomes laughing stock

Matt Gunterman June 15th, 2007

Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report featured this hilarious commentary on the ludicrous nature of Dr. James W. Holsinger’s nomination to be the nation’s next surgeon general. The audience actually booed at the very mention of the possibility. Humor’s a great way to put things in perspective. Too bad Kentucky’s chattering class — which is lining up behind Holsinger — is too busy worrying about having a Kentuckian as surgeon general, rather than having a qualified doctor who can and will represent all Americans.

    Well, we already had David Hager on an FDA committee dealing with women’s health issues–the guy whose ex-wife accused him of sodomizing her while she was asleep. Why not hire this guy too and make it a double?

    I luv that man!

    Sometimes I wonder if we’re just so damn eager to have someone (anyone) from Kentucky in some sort of prominent position, we don’t give a shit who it is or what they stand for.
