Two of a kind.

While we’re all happy to see Lester Crawford resign from his post as FDA Commissioner, we can’t be too surprised to see that Bush has intentions to replace him with his twin. Sigh.
Bush’s appointee to “temporarily” head the agency is Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, who – like Crawford – has a reputation for pushing right-wing and anti-choice ideology, says Think Progress.
Von Eschenbach is the director of the National Cancer Institute who altered a fact sheet stating the absence of a link between abortion and breast cancer in 2002. The language was changed to say that the tests disproving the link were “inconclusive.” After a ridiculous amount of uproar and a statement sent by 100 institute scientists, Dr. Evil backed down.
Additionally, not one mainstream news story has acknowledged this guy’s obvious agenda.
