Fox News’s Neil Cavuto asks the important question: is the Surgeon General nominee too fat?
TPM describes the jaw-dropping segment:
n what has to be among Fox News’ all-time lowlights, Neil Cavuto had a segment a short while ago on whether the new surgeon general nominee, Dr. Regina M. Benjamin, is “too fat” for the post. Seriously. In support of this argument, they had on as a guest some guy wearing a “No Chubbies” T-shirt.
…
Later Update: The Fox guest is quite a character. His name is Michael Karolchyk, and he runs an outfit in Denver called the Anti-Gym (NSFW), a fitness club with an emphasis on getting clients in shape for sex: “With live DJs, cage dancers, and our elite co-ed Ravish Room, Anti-Gym boasts the hottest facilities and clientele in Denver.
Wow, Fox News had on some guy who runs a sex gym. Is it sweeps month?
Regina Benjamin is an extremely impressive Surgeon General nominee and the media’s obsession is whether or not she’s fat. This is what I refer to as “media misogyny.” The media spends way too much time talking about the physical appearances of women in the news.
Update: From Padagon, here’s a picture of Dr. Benjamin. WTF? She doesn’t look obese to me.

The modern Republican party is now proudly party of the denial of proven facts and policies based on T-shirt slogans.
Rather funny, how many liberals chide Rush Limbaugh about his weight? Somehow a radio host is to be taken to task about his physique but a medical doctor who will be held up as an example for healthy lifestyles is not?
Again, liberals have a double standard. The modern Democratic party is devoid of honesty and principle. Liberals base their viewpoints on hatred, jealousy and resentment.

Well, the Treasury Secretary can’t pay his taxes, the Director for Central Intelligence has zero intel experience, so why should the Surgeon General be in good physical shape? I seem to remember Reagan’s SG, C. Everett Koop, was a big tubby bitch with a goofy-ass beard.
