Barry O picked his Surgeon General. It's a pretty high profile position. More symbolic and public relations, I think, than a seat of real power.
Catholic, woman, hero in Alabama after Katrina, devoted her life to helping the poor. I think it's interesting that the nuns in the area know her well, whereas the priests do not. Do you think she'll turn out to be a big "Culture of Life" warrior and campaigner against abortion, artificial birth control and women's reproductive rights?
The Church has already pushed her into several high positions. They have given her many accolades and honors. It will look really chickenshit if they smear her now. On the other hand, there is nobody more chickenshit than the brotherhood of American Catholic bishops.
