They Don't Like Sanjay

Obama's choice for Surgeon General, Dr. Sanjau Gupta is not being well received, by either Congressman John Conyers or just in general... NY Times Columnist Paul Krugman didn't like Gupta's on-air showdown with Michael Moore of his latest movie 'Sicko' and, even as Dr. Gupta was accusing Moore of inaccuracies on the air- it turns out that CNN were the ones that got it wrong.

But really- what does the Surgeon General do? Howard Dean (also a Doctor) did point out that the position was pretty much informing the public of current health issues and stuff, which is pretty much what Gupta does to begin with. So why not?
