Do not don your gay apparel

It seems Dr. James Holsinger, President Bush’s nominee for Surgeon General, is looking forward to a holly, jolly Christmas. Holsinger, whose combination of rightwing political views and questionable medical beliefs– particularly his previously stated desire to “cure” gays of being gay– has made his confirmation by the Senate unlikely, is reportedly telling colleagues that President Bush will use Congress’ holiday break to shoehorn him into office with a recess appointment.

Apparently the president would rather you not don you now your gay apparel to deck the halls with boughs of holly. Fa la la la la, etc., etc.
