#1 WTF?

Haven't we had enough of this "bi-partisan" undermining of the administration yet?

There is no such animal more mythological than a "bi-partisan" democrat.

Nothing but trouble will ensue from giving another energetic left wing mouth air time in front of TV cameras.

At least they should have held out for some democrat who might have served in the military, not a political hack like Shalala.

#2 Shalala will have to defer to Dole on this one; Dole's been in enough military hospitals that he will have "unquestioned authority".

#3 Shalala is a member of the sensitive party, the party who cares about the people, including the soldiers. Dole's a member of the party that caused all the problems, by starting all those illegal wars, so he can't have authority, unquestioned or otherwise. This should be reported shortly in the MSM so you'll know it's true.

#4 The announcement comes as Congress continues its probe into conditions at Walter Reed

The parking isn't so hot, but maybe they (Congressmen and wimin) could just take a cab on over and visit WR and Bethesda from time to time.

#5 There is no dispute that actual medical treatment at WR is nothing short of top-notch. The problems that plague the military outpatient and aftercare services are the result of bureaucratic red tape from a bloated government run program. Should be interesting how the Democrats square that with their sales pitch to have a government run socialized Universal Health Care.

#6 Shalalalala didn't review the Miami Hurricane football team when they rioted at one of their games this year. How's she a value added in this process?

Why would President Bush tap a useless c**t like Shalalalala. The bloom is really coming of the rose with our President.

I don't know Dan. I'm still putting the MMM (mythical moderate muslim) at the top of the list. But, a BPD is a VERY close 2nd!

Oh, they do visit Bethesda. It's the MTF of choice.
