Yesterday, the secretary of Veterans' Affairs compared waiting months to see a doctor at a VA hospital with waiting in lines at Disney World. It was an idiotic and offensive comparison which has been greatly criticized and condemned. But here's the really funny part: Disney itself seems quite angry with the comparison. The company's spokesman told reporters that Disney tries extremely hard to keep waiting times to a minimum (something that seems not to concern the VA) and it also tries to make any required waiting into a fun experience.
The VA secretary was brought in specially to clean up the mess of the waiting times for appointments. It sure looks like it's time to get rid of him and try someone else. Maybe this time president Obama could try to find someone who understands that a sick veteran deserves more concern than someone about to ride in the Teacups.
