His apology was both partial & fake and reveals his arrogance & truthiness. Hey, how about an honest, smart, truthful WOMAN for surgeon general. Polls show people overwhelmingly prefer female docs. It is time.</p> If we hadn’t had the endless deceit of the last eight years I would be inclined to agree, but Dr Gupta has a couple of big issues: he is not truthful, and he won’t admit he is wrong.

anyone who promotes the products of big pharma[as he does], and continues to promote the prosecution, incarceration of individuals using cannabis, is a fascist bastid.

if jane hamsher continues to promote the notion that cannabis should be prohibited, that its usage should continue to be subject to criminal penalties, then jane hamsher is a fascist bastid. and we should vacate her site, recognizing what she really stands for….a fascist state. mass incarceration of anyone[s] using cannabis, anyone disputing the prevarications of big pharma and its acolytes.

will i be censored for saying this? that is my bet.

jane cannot stand truths.
