More on experience...a Gupta story

Citing a lack of experience, Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) is leading an effort to thwart Barack Obama’s expected nomination of CNN’s Sanjay Gupta to become surgeon general.

Oh, please. Let's get off the credentials crap already. We already know that credentials have nothing to do with putting people into positions or running for office this year. If Sanjay Gupta shouldn't be surgeon general, then Caroline Kennedy shouldn't be a senator and Obama shouldn't be president.

Gupta's experience as a CNN talking medical reporter/commentator is probably sufficient experience for the surgeon general's job, and he gets to wear that spiffy general's outfit with all the shiny buttons and insignias.

I say we start a massive email campaign to Conyers demanding that Gupta be seated! 

Have a gupta day!
