[Guest post by DRJ]
“[A]ppointing Gupta now, although it’s a small thing, is just another example of the lack of accountability that always seems to be the rule when you get things wrong in a socially acceptable way.”
Paul Krugman, explaining why he opposes Obama’s appointment of Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General because Gupta once claimed Michael Moore “fudged his facts” in the film SiCKO.
The linked article also details Congressman John Conyers’ opposition to Gupta.

The left wingers are having buyer’s remorse but nobody could satisfy them. There is some danger in some of his second level appointees like Dawn Johnson at OLC. He may get his moonbats in by the back (non-Senate confirmation) door.,
MIke K (ee3203) — 1/10/2009 @ 12:00 amC’mon. Tack right or left. Is this a horrible pick, or a great pick? Is it idealogical at all? Does anyone really care? Are Dems bad for supporting it, or for opposing it? Symmetrical questions for Repubs. Weren’t the only two significant moments in the history of the surgeon general’s office (1) the pronouncement that cigarettes aren’t healthy, and (2)C. Everett Koop’s interview with Ali Gi?
Dave Affeld (dc2a1f) — 1/10/2009 @ 1:30 amPass the popcorn, please. Gupta also supports a “single-payer system”. I suspect that his disagreement with Michael Moore was due to the fact that Gupta is a religious vegan and Moore eats three cows at a sitting.

nk (cc566c) — 1/10/2009 @ 5:23 amI read Orwell’s essay in my first quarter in college and have always tried to follow Orwell’s six rules since (except maybe for #vi):
(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
(ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do.
(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.
(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Eric Blair (fb1fc9) — 1/10/2009 @ 5:33 am2. no, the most important effort by a surgeon general was Clinton’s Jocelyn Elders letting kids be kids by pushing for more masturbation education. Minnie Lee Jones wanted your teenages to be adept at playing with themselves and naturally the evil conservatives were aghast and forced her resignation. At least her boss walked the walk vis a vis absentinence from sexual activity by avoiding his shrewish spouse and playing in a non-sexual matter with a young intern, kneepads and cigars.

Say whatever you want, but Sanjay Gupta is as qualified as the next guy, perhaps more given his TV experience.
Rep. Conyers is just an old crouchy ..
Neo (cba5df) — 1/10/2009 @ 8:01 amAwww, that nasty Dr. Gupta was mean to Krazy Krugman and John “I Hold Fake Impeachment Hearings In My Parents’ Basement” Conyers’ hero Lord Pork-Pork. It brings a tear to my eye, it does.
Obama is doing rather well in the psychological warfare department–I know nothing about Dr. Gupta except that three of his enemies are scumbags, and yet I’m inclined to like him. Smart of him to throw us a bone like that.

There FTFY. Yeah yeah, thank me later.
Slightly OT, I don’t exactly remember how it happened, but at Best Buy a year ago I was buying a new laptop and ended up in a long discussion with the young geek salesman that ended with him praising and recommending “Sicko” to me while lecturing about U.S. healthcare. I verbally slapped him down and took my business elsewhere. I was totally frosted. I’ve yet to write a letter of complaint to the BB management but really should. This is worse than being attacked politically by my co-workers in IM and that happens a lot, too.
I have no opinion of Gupta but I also have no respect any longer for the Surgeon General, whoever it is. Mealymouthed nannies. Michael Moore on the other hand can swallow poison and I’ll cheer.

When I first heard the name “Sanjay Gupta”, I thought BHO was nominating either a New-age Guru, or a sitar-player to be SG.
After reading Dr. Gupta’s OpEd in Friday’s WSJ, I can say with confindence that if he does know how to play the sitar, I was right on both counts.
Hopey and Changey!

In fact, if there’s a national spokesman job in the offing . . .
Icy Texan (b7d162) — 1/10/2009 @ 10:53 amPablo, well said! Krugman’s gibberish was a steaming pile of Bovine Excremental Irony. The man is so wrapped up in his own warped worldview, he cant see how he’s mr unaccountable – he’s lied in his column on many occasions. In his world, the Moore’s and the Krugman’s are the valiant fighters for truth, and critics, whether Gupta or (say) Don Luskin, are the philistines boobs. His World is Upside Down.
It’s amazing how apropos this meme is – everywhere – except in the case that Krugman uses it for.
Appointing Leon Pannetta to head the CIA, although it’s a small thing, is just another example of the lack of accountability that always seems to be the rule when you get things wrong in a socially acceptable way.
Expanding SCHIP at a time of trillion-dollar deficits, although it’s a small thing, is just another example of the lack of accountability that always seems to be the rule when you get things wrong in a socially acceptable way.
Voting for Obama, although it’s a small thing, is just another example of the lack of accountability that always seems to be the rule when you get things wrong in a socially acceptable way.
Calling for Israel to cease and desist while saying nothing of Hamas violations of previous agreements, although it’s a small thing, is just another example of the lack of accountability that always seems to be the rule when you get things wrong in a socially acceptable way.
… you can really have fun with that Meme.
Travis Monitor (cfa2f1) — 1/10/2009 @ 11:01 amGupta is actually pretty well trained and the Surgeon General is a sinecure position. He was a White House Fellow in the Clinton administration and has some connection to Hillary. I see no problems with the appointment.
MIke K (ee3203) — 1/10/2009 @ 11:25 amIt is amazing just how regularly Krugman shows what a clown he is. This being just another in a long series of thousands of examples.

Old Coot (f036b5) — 1/10/2009 @ 12:16 pmNever mind, Old Coot. Pinhead2008 is an oily, mealy-mouthed, hypocritical, backstabbing protozoan who smiles at you greasily and gives you the finger when your back is turned. Don’t waste any further thought on her.
nk (2a3e35) — 1/10/2009 @ 12:26 pmLeaving aside the wisdom of the pick, the question that arises from DRJ’s post is whether the NY Times copyeditors are so cowed by Krugman’s Noble Prize that they allow such slopping writing to pass through to the reader. I worked as a writing tutor for a few years and I can assure you that had this been submitted to me I would have circled the sentence that DRJ highlighted, drawn a big question mark in the margin, and returned it to Krugman.

Wouldn’t that also then apply to, say, chosing Panetta as the director of the CIA, who may just have to deal with crucial intelligence information which may affect everyone in America, including the poorest and most underserved?

I am definitely not pinhead2008 (I was called biscuithead once when I returned from the Marine Corps). I had just thought I was funny and a play on Clinton’s former surgeon general (who if you remember supported self help so to speak), so I bolded my Krugman comment. Sorry if I was too crude.
I do think Krugman fingers his Nobel medal. And I know he likes to look at himself in the mirror. That is obvious to anyone who has had the misfortune of reading Krugman’s op-eds.
And why would anyone think such a comment was the work of a lefty troll is beyond me.
Joe (dcebbd) — 1/10/2009 @ 2:43 pmActually, I think Krugman resembles an Airedale.
I denounce myself for the species-ist remark.
Eric Blair (3e2520) — 1/10/2009 @ 3:15 pmI would think that Airdales everywhere would be offended.

AD (4de33d) — 1/10/2009 @ 3:27 pmBut I will still need the boots, for different reasons.
Eric Blair (3e2520) — 1/10/2009 @ 3:32 pmWell, if you stop reading the NYT and its’ clones, there will be a lot less to wade through.
But, if you keep going to faculty meetings, I might suggest in lieu of boots, a good quality survival suit like those issued to fishermen in the Gulf of Alaska.
AD (4de33d) — 1/10/2009 @ 3:38 pmOh, dear God above, plus a supply of oxygen and a coffee helmet, similar to a beer helmet.
Eric Blair (3e2520) — 1/10/2009 @ 3:44 pmActually, I think Gupta is an inspired choice. He is a good communicator, good doctor, and will keep the position where it should be–about promoting better health for everyone. I do not think Gupta will go off on political tangents that unfortunately we had to deal with during the Clinton administration.
Joe (17aeff) — 1/10/2009 @ 5:57 pmI rather agree with Joe.
At least we’ll remember this one. I don’t even know who Bush has had as Surgeon General…
Scott Jacobs (90ff96) — 1/10/2009 @ 6:04 pmAs for Gupta, any enemy of Michael Moore is a friend of mine.
Joe (17aeff) — 1/10/2009 @ 8:38 pmWhy we did not hear from Bush’s surgeon general
You know, some take embryonic stem cell research as killing human beings, others do not. But if you are working for a President who is opposed to it, you are a friggin jerk to buck him on it. It is not a you are right and I am wrong issue, both positions have a point, but the guy in charge gets to set the policy.
If you disagree resign and vote for Kerry and Obama like Richard Clarke and Paul O’Neill did.
Joe (17aeff) — 1/10/2009 @ 11:37 pm#93 Same story as now except Moore’s lapping dogs are launching a preemtive attack to keep Gupta on their reservation… I like how this is playing out because Obama is going to get worn out by MoveOn and Code Pink and the rest.

John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/11/2009 @ 10:08 amВы видели “Доктор” S ссылке? Продажа голубых таблеток кажется мирской по сравнению с геополитике.

Oh. My apologies.
love2008 who will now be known as Emperor7 (0c8c2c) — 1/11/2009 @ 10:30 amI regret that I only have 9 lives to give in search of Jerry.

John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/11/2009 @ 10:35 am謝謝你，約翰…和iGoogle具有良好的翻譯功能了。
Eric Blair (3e2520) — 1/11/2009 @ 10:38 amYou can be all the free you want in your heart so long as you do your duties as we prescribe during your visit to our Siberian gulag, you american imperialist, you.
John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/11/2009 @ 10:38 amYou’re welcome, EB. I actually had to google-translate that since I was using the free version, which does not include any version of Chinese and I wasn’t going to pay for it.
John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/11/2009 @ 10:43 amCall it Stalinist Calvinism, John.
And I’m happy you recognize the reference.

love2008 who will now be known as Emperor7 (0c8c2c) — 1/11/2009 @ 11:16 amJohn Hitchcock, have you checked out the translation functions in iGoogle?
Eric Blair (3e2520) — 1/11/2009 @ 11:24 amРацистс! Потказати ја њима!
Eric Blair (3e2520) — 1/11/2009 @ 11:25 amEB, no, only used google translator for the chinese and googled the site I posted above for the russian.
And I’ve decided I don’t need to translate any more russian or chinese or any other -ian or -ese. Too much work for too little reward. 😉
John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/11/2009 @ 11:32 amBut, Emp, I did translate your remark and I can assure you, that crown you wear can easily fit my head.
John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/11/2009 @ 11:33 amYou will have to pry it out of my dead cold hands, John. My dead cold hands! 🙂

It belongs on a bracelet. It stands for, of course, “What Would JD Say?”
Maybe it should read: WWJDD?

JD would say “Linguistic Racists”.
love2008 who will now be known as Emperor7 (1b037c) — 1/11/2009 @ 3:56 pmJust like a wise man once said on this blog “I work here is done…” Now I am beginning to grasp the depth of his wisdom.

nk (2a3e35) — 1/11/2009 @ 4:02 pmLiebe2008, der (die?) sich künftig Kaiser7 nennen wird – ich bin der Meinung, daß jegliche “nur Englisch” Regel nur für die Sprachen, und nicht für das Essen gelten würde. Kein Schwein mag englisches Essen, gell?
Xrlq (62cad4) — 1/11/2009 @ 5:24 pmThese last comments give a whole new meaning to “I don’t understand a word you’ve said.” Which brings us back to the point of the post, because I didn’t understand Paul Krugman either.

It’s proverbial. No podest legit. Grecum est.
All I understood from yours, Xrlq, is that even pigs won’t eat English food.

AD (f2ee3d) — 1/11/2009 @ 6:07 pmHeh. You guys made some new internet friends and fans. The spam filter had 83 comments and most of them were in Russian or Greek.
DRJ (345e40) — 1/11/2009 @ 7:40 pmWhat?! Friends? Fans? Where? (Waving to invisible audience…)
love2008 who will now be known as Emperor7 (0c8c2c) — 1/12/2009 @ 1:49 amWell, some of us manage to have friends — or at least a friend — that we don’t have to find on line.
