Susan Orr: Idiot

George W. Bush has appointed Susan Orr to oversee federal family planning programs at the Department of Health and Human Services. If you'll recall, HHS was responsible for this incredibly cool abstinence-only education ad, so Orr seems like a nice addition to their higher ranks. She was an adjunct professor at Pat Robertson's Regent University--a kind of Hogwarts for the religiously insane. She also described insurance-covered contraceptives as being a part of "the culture of death". Actually, she has a point there. Condoms lead to the deaths of millions of helpless STDs every year.
