Know your Bush Appointees

On Thursday, Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination citing the efforts of "members of the Senate" to seek documents generated while she served as Bush's White House counsel as her reason. She's not the first appointee by Bush to be called into question and certainly won't be the last. Here's my favorite.


Meet Dr. W. David Hager. He is the #2 man at the FDA, a gynecologist, and oversees women's rights, health issues, and also the guy that wants to make sure we don't have RU-486 otherwise known as the "morning-after pill". This is a guy who wrote a book with his wife that said if women have premenstrual problems what they should do is read scripture. I'm not kidding. Turns out his wife left him after 30 years claiming that he anally raped her in her sleep (I'm assuming she woke up somewhere during the said event). The guy didn’t even deny it and said the reason he was doing it in her "cocoa-canal" was that he "missed". So you have the case of a gynecologist that claims he cannot find his own wife's vagina. I rest my case about George Bush's appointments.
