... What’s particularly interesting about this discussion, then, is that nobody has even discussed the fact that the federal government not ten years ago created and funded a brand new office in the Health and Human Services Department specifically to coordinate preparation for and response to public health threats like Ebola. The woman who heads that office, and reports directly to the HHS secretary, has been mysteriously invisible from the public handling of this threat. And she’s still on the job even though three years ago she was embroiled in a huge scandal of funneling a major stream of funding to a company with ties to a Democratic donor—and away from a company that was developing a treatment now being used on Ebola patients.

Where is the US Ebola Czar, Dr. Nicole Lurie?
And what has she been up to for the last six years?
You’d be in hiding too, if you were photographed wearing grapes for earrings.
This has to be the most underhanded, incompetent bunch of people I have ever seen! I can deal with stupid, but this is beyond absurd!
They are doing exactly as planned. They are not incompetent.
They prefer that people think they’re incompetent.
Aaaaugh my eyes! Is that a transsexual?
bttt
Obama’s Ebola czar is probably quarantined with Ebola symptoms.

Thanks for posting this.
Not being all powerful does not excuse gross incompetence.
Interesting recurring Leftist rhetoric: when called on incompetence, objects against imputed demands for total perfection - which was, of course, NOT what was called out.
No, Leftists, it does NOT take an all-powerful government to have competence when crisis strikes. With years of planning and billions of dollars to prepare for the long-predicted outbreak of worst-case diseases like Ebola, we DO expect basic competence unto immediately isolating the exposed and decontaminating the areas involved, NOT just telling close live-in family members “don’t go out” and leaving contaminated items in place for mundane cleanup (say, with a power sprayer ... how IS that sandaled woman doing? anyone watching her symptoms?). If that can’t be done, then funding should be cut off as it’s sure not going anywhere.
I looked at the pic. THAT is NOT a guy..
LOL - it’s so typical

She gave an interview to a relatively anonymous web mag about a month ago. Her answers are vague and couched in liberal ideology, IMHO.
Well, well. Corruption in big government. I am shocked, I tell you, simply shocked.
We are soooo much better than those West Africans, with all their corrupted governments and money funneling...
Pffft.
Do I even need a < sarc > tag?
(Thanks for the PING; BA, that was an eye-opener!)
“Is that a transsexual?”
‘It’ looks like Mick Jagger & Steven Tyler’s love child.
Thanks for the ping. Looks like our government might not help us much. Maybe Firestone will save us.
Wow, what a great article!
Thank you for posting!
And thank you for introducing me to Ms. Mollie Hemingway!
