No mention of Gupta's bouts of "mistakes" in critiquing Moore's "Sicko". But . . . more signs of the intelligence of Obama's team.

1. Ummm...

The title could read that Klein is the appointee. At least, it did to silly me. :)

6. thanks for those links. i've always been a huge fan of both moore and krugman and i was not aware

of the history between moore and cnn/gupta. however, i'm still not sure what obama intends for health-care, probably something short of full universal coverage. if so, my gut-feel is that gupta will then be a good pick to help spearhead what is sure to be a MAJOR battle with congress.

4. Selling Obama's suck ass health plan - that won't fix health care

Obama refuses to take profiteering out of the health care system.
