Eric Keroack not a board-certified doctor

I told you that Keroack was just a ten-year old pretending to be a doctor!
Check out the last lines in this WaPo piece on the wacky non-doc:

Pearson also acknowledged yesterday that Keroack is not currently certified as an obstetrician-gynecologist. That is not a requirement for the job, but HHS officials had cited Keroack’s expertise in defending his selection.

Hells yeah they did!
The Washington Post, 11/21/2006:

An HHS spokeswoman said Keroack is a skilled doctor and a nationally recognized expert on preventing teenage pregnancy. “We have confidence that he’ll perform his duties effectively and in accordance with the law,” HHS spokeswoman Christina Pearson said by e-mail.

The Washington Post, 11/17/2006:

John O. Agwunobi, assistant secretary for health, said Keroack “is highly qualified and a well-respected physician . . . working primarily with women and girls in crisis.”

Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Fortunately, folks aren’t taking this quack’s appointment sitting down. Letters from both the House and Senate (spearheaded by Rep. Henry Waxman and Sen. Barbara Boxer) were sent to Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mike Leavitt, urging him to reject Keroack’s appointment.
