Sanjay Gupta for Obama’s surgeon general?
Doctor/journalist/heartthrob wants job and is reviewing finances and logistics of moving family from Atlanta to Washington, D.C.
The Washington Post reports President-elect Barack Obama has asked CNN’s Sanjay Gupta to become the next surgeon general. Gupta, who does a commendable job performing heart surgeries when he’s not practicing journalism, lives in Atlanta with his family.
From the Post:
Gupta has told administration officials that he wants the job, and the final vetting process is under way. He has asked for a few days to figure out the financial and logistical details of moving his family from Atlanta to Washington but is expected to accept the offer.
UPDATE: Rick Sanchez has been asked to accept the role of New Media Czar. Wolf Blitzer to become deputy undersecretary of beards! We just might get some Atlanta folk in this administration!
