Surprise, Bush is considering appointing another Christian with a dubious understanding of what constitutes public health to the position of Surgeon General. Leave it to the New York Times to skewer nominee Dr. James Holsinger’s bad science, with grace & smarts:
Titled “Pathophysiology of Male Homosexuality,” the paper purported to be a scientific and medical review. It argued that gay sex was abnormal on anatomical and physiological grounds and unhealthy, in that anal sex can lead to rectal injuries and sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Holsinger did not brand the large number of heterosexual women who engage in anal sex as abnormal, failed to acknowledge the huge burden of disease spread heterosexually and implied that women are more likely than men to avoid injuries with generous lubrication.
How often are we exposed to a political appeal grounded in considering the realities of how people have sex, lubrication and all? How about on any major editorial page?
