  2. I’m sure the drug companies are thrilled that their drugs pending FDA approval will not come to a standstill.

  3. And the Senate easily confirmed all of these inexperienced and incompetent morons.

  4. Our entire government is an embarrassing mess. There will be a ton of work to do to recover and rebuild

  5. I’m guessing he repeatedly used the R word towards people with autism?

  7. God, that website sucks.

    From the article:
    “Kennedy last week called the culling of roughly 10,000 employees a necessary action, promising that HHS would find ways to ‘do more with less,'” the report noted.

    No, they won’t. They’ll do less with less.

  8. I try very hard to be kind and to give the benefit of the doubt. Defenders will point out that “retarded” is (or used to be?) a clinical term that didn’t necessarily take on its common pejorative meaning until relatively late in this man’s experience. So when he’s referring to a time in his past, at our most generous we could say he’s using the verbiage that was acceptable at the time.

    But that’s just the thing. It *was* acceptable. It isn’t any longer. The face of public health in this nation should fucking know that. It’s embarrassing that he doesn’t.

  9. “The speech only became worse as he claimed, “‘every institution that’s created by human beings’ is inevitably captured by powerful interests.”

    Yea no shit dude, no shit.

  10. Paywall. What slurs was he dropping? I need to start working them into my criticism of conservatives now that they are “free speech”.

  11. He’s more than a kook, he’s a dangerous idiot with power.

  14. Is he referring to the Special Olympics? Which his own family founded?

  17. Tell ya, after reading this story, I’m starting to think this guy may not be qualified for his position. Must be a legacy hire, I guess.

  19. Too much bourbon in his vitamin A? Or too much vitamin A in his bourbon?

  21. I think he’s horrendously incompetent and corrupt, but someone saying retarded shouldn’t make the news. He’s doing much worse. Who cares what he says off the cuff when he’s doing actual, horrible damage.

    And that being said, here comes a barrage of down votes probably.

  22. He’s stumbling on some truth in a moron (I know) kind of way. A big part of the increase in autism is that we used to indiscriminately label them mentally retarded. Another factor is that there are resources for early intervention with a diagnosis of autism that are not there otherwise.
