Remember the John McCain campaign ad calling Barack Obama a megacelebrity and comparing him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton?
For some reason, that came to mind when I read that Obama is supposedly considering Dr. Sanjay Gupta as surgeon general. Gupta, you may recognize, is chief medical correspondent for the Cable News Network.
OK, I know nothing about Gupta's qualifications. However, I can't help but question the wisdom behind appointing a celebrity as surgeon general. Qualified or not, it looks funny.
