"With calls for an Ebola czar flying left and right, some attention has been paid in the past couple weeks to the U.S.s lack of a surgeon general, who has been awaiting confirmation for over a year in large part because Dr. Vivek Murthy earned the wrath of the NRA, which has successfully pressured senators to balk on his confirmation. On Sunday morning, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd challenged Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) to the defend the NRAs petty actions.
The president really ought to nominate people that can be confirmed to these jobs, Blunt said. Then we should confirm them.
Should the NRA have that much influence over a surgeon general nominee? Todd asked. Hes not going to make gun policy."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

(24,685 posts)(Toodles) must have been reading the blogs on how much of a marshmallow he truly is, and how he supports more republican rants of deceit and deception, and now that he has been given a show that had better be more transparent, but every week we get the same old tired dribble from him and others. These fascist republicans must get at least 60 hours a week spewing there hate and fear on the T.V, either from one make-up artist to another show they all have the same face, all they do is change the face and the same crap comes out of there right wing mouth day in and day out and they just spew hate and fear.
(Toodles) and his corporation (Comcast/NBC/GE) and there affiliates should have every hour and on the hour that November 2 is the 2014 election day, that would also be journalism at its best instead of what is transpiring across this country today, to get people to vote this hypocrite and others that are trying to make this country into despot third world country.
(Toodles) should looked have looked at this right wing hypocrite wind bag, that makes over 190,000 a year and has done nothing since he went to Washington, and stand behind his worthless filibustering leadership every chance he gets to be on T.V. with over some 700 bills and then spewed this little bit of information in his face to see what this right wing fascist Roy Blunt really thinks:
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
