Pols Rip President Obama’s Choice for Ebola Czar

Lawmakers blasted President Obama’s choice for Ebola czar Sunday, with Republicans accusing the commander-in-chief of prioritizing political loyalty over medical or emergency response experience.

"Mr. Klain is not a doctor, he's not a health care professional, he doesn't have background in these issues," Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said on CNN’s “State of the Union” of Ron Klain, who Obama tapped Friday to lead the federal government’s response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak.

"We don't need a White House political operative, which is what Mr. Klain has been. What we need is presidential leadership. The person who needs to be on top of this is the president of the United States,” Cruz added.

Klain is an attorney and a former chief of staff to Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
