just like the proverbial ostrich

bury your head in the sand..........you don't like it? pretend it doesn't exist!

this MAY work if you are three years old. it does NOT work if you are the american public. we should NEVER have allowed all of this to get this far.

it's partially OUR fault. not enough of us questioned the king and his court, or spoke out or said ENOUGH

Ex-Surgeon General Says White House Hushed Him


By Christopher Lee
Washington Post Staff Writer

Former surgeon general Richard H. Carmona yesterday accused the Bush administration of muzzling him on sensitive public health issues, becoming the most prominent voice among several current and former federal science officials who have complained of political interference.
Carmona, a Bush nominee who served from 2002 to 2006, told the
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that political appointees in the administration routinely scrubbed his speeches for politically sensitive content and blocked him from speaking out on public health matters such as stem cell research, abstinence-only sex education and the emergency contraceptive Plan B.............

(p.s. ONE MORE TIME..........ABSTINANCE DOES NOT WORK as an effective teaching method for either birth control or sexual health)

Why didn't he speak up and resign when he was in office? He's a coward and a spineless sycophant, that's why. All of these Bush appointees are whining incompetents . . . because leadership is a top-down attribute and we're leaderless.

If he were really committed to science, he'd have said something years ago.
