Uh, Excuse Me, Congressman, But I Think You Just Stepped on Your Winkie.
Utah Republican Congressman and part time rocket scientist Jason Chaffetz is not a fan of Ron Klain as Ebola Czar.
Chaffetz has a much better idea.
“Why not have the surgeon general head this up?” Chaffetz asked in a Wednesday appearance on Fox News. “I think that’s a very legitimate question. At least you have somebody who has a medical background whose been confirmed by the United States Senate.”
Okay, two things. No, three things. I just thought of another thing.
1. There is no surgeon general because … well, you. The President nominated a teacher at Harvard Medical School but that guy refused to say that bullets are good for you so Republicans blocked him and refuse to act on his appointment.
2. You guys holler and screamed that this country needs an Ebola Czar. Now you’re whining because he got one.
3. No, Ruch Limbaugh cannot be Ebola Czar based on his vast drug experiences.
Hours after saying this, Chaffetz said that he meant the acting surgeon general.
“Well I do know there’s an acting surgeon general, I understand that. The surgeon general is also an office. It’s the Office of the Surgeon General. I know there’s some confusion there, but I don’t think I was confused,” Chaffetz said.
Yeah, tripped yourself, didn’t ya?
Thanks to Glen for the heads up.

Who knew? R.E.M. wrote the GOP theme song.
1I am reading a book about consciousness called “The User Illusion” and it talk about the veto factor in our thinking and how much information we must discard to make a decision.
2So far many of the candidates don’t seem to understand the “thinking” part that needs to go into play ( it’s only a second or so of time) before they stick their foot in their mouths. That’s why they spend so much time backtracking, no discernment comes into play, it’s just Sarah Palin word salad, course, after course, at a mad hatter tea party. Terrifying.
He’s not confused, this is ‘normal’ for him.
3Did anyone there think to ask him really quickly who the acting surgeon general is?
And while Surgeon General can also be applied to an office, asking an office to head a medical team probably wouldn’t work. It would be almost as dumb as asking Chaffetz to do anything useful.
4He seems to be looking for acceptance into the Gohmert-King-Bachmann (Lack of) Brain Trust…
5The Porn Star name of Congressman Jason Chaffetz is Sir Asstronut. Just, you know, FYI.
6Just how old is this guy? This picture makes him look like a 15 year old who was just caught with his hand in something other then the cookie jar!! He has Rand Paul hair, too … none of that is any good!!
7Monty, Utah has a trio: Hatch, Lee and Chaffetz. Would that be the Tabernacle Tryst? Or, add Rob Bishop and Chris Stewart, so the Five _____? or?
8Marcia in CO –
I think you’ve got his age about right. If this occurred a few years ago he would have asked that another mythical figure become the Ebola Czar, someone he knew would have a solid medical background:
The Tooth Fairy
9OMG, he is so lucky he is cute!
10maggie, cute? Is that like a low register gaydar ping?
11Yes, having the surgeon general speak for the administration on Ebola would have been great. The problem is a surgeon general is usually a medical doctor. And you know how into science and all they can be. And that’s a problem for flat earth leaning Teabaggers.
12I do think it is encouraging that a Republican thought of such a radical concept and said it out loud all by himself. And yes he is cute. Maybe we all oughta call his office and say good going, how about you tell the NRA to hush and let us get a surgeon general.
13I think Marcia in CO nailed it!
14I don’t know that I’d say “cute.” More like “Dopey.”
15PKM, “cute” in this case comes from “Good thing he/she is so cute cuz they don’t have the brains of a flea.”
16Thank you once again, Utah. We now have one more member of congress without the brains that God gave little green apples.
17As far as the “cute” goes, just saw “The Book of Mormon” (not for momma!) besides absolutely “dissing” just about everyone, it was hilarious, I was practically weeping with laughter–in that hard hitting libural comedy kinda way. Chaffetz is that earnest looking, white shirt, black tie, on his mission, looking kinda guy.
18Truly scary because he is a “true believer” in his own twaddle, reality need not apply. Interesting that in most parlance Joseph Smith would be considered a grifter, not a “saint” –not saying that “cutie” is a grifter or even Mormon, but that he’s got that tenet of “it’s okay to lie in the pursuit of the (church’s/republican’s) cause” down. Dang! Doorbell’s ringing, but I hope to heaven we have more sense than to let the proselytizers in!
Rand Paul needs to find out where Chaffetz buy’s his hair piece!
19Out of the mouth’s of idiots.
