This recent event is particularly relevant in light of how the U.S. Supreme Court could revise its Bakke ruling of decades ago in the wake of the federal courts' recent split regarding race-based admissions quotas. Why won't the media amend its former praise of Chavis' supposedly stellar (but actually horrendous) career? And do truly qualified black professionals appreciate the bad name that "doctors" like Chavis give to all professionals of color?

I think you should have posted the entire article. It has some interesting details, like him being gunned down in an ice cream parlor 'robbery' by unknown assailants.

Hey if Ted Kennedy was giving out kudos - I'd get out of the line. He is a waste of fresh air.

From the article: "In 1998, the Medical Board of California suspended Chavis' license, warning of his "inability to perform some of the most basic duties required of a physician." In a statement filed by a psychiatrist, the state demonstrated Chavis' "poor impulse control and insensitivity to patients' pain." A tape recording of "horrific screaming" by patients in Chavis' office revealed the doctor responding callously: "Don't talk to the doctor while he is working" and "Liar, liar, pants on fire." "

Please excuse me while I go puke my guts out. Just think of all of the wonderfulness the affirmative action amen crowd has brought into the world.

How old would Chavis have been? Around 50? Why did he die so young? Was his death somehow connected with the failure of his career (drugs, alcohol, STDs)?

Why? Because the Dims would have to admit that their social experiment and revolution is a failure of epic proportions. Can't have that...the NWO might replace them.

I like Michelle Malkin. She is featured regularly in the Hartford Courant as the token conservative. And is the only one to bring any sense to that paper.

She had and editorial today blasting the enviro nazis.

Last I heard Dr. Bakke was practicing at the Mayo Clinic. That should say something about his level of competency.
