James Holsinger Preparing for Recess Appointment?

Box Turtle Bulletin and other blogs are reporting that James Holsinger has resigned from the Board of Directors at Asbury Seminary, and is telling his pals that Bush will give him a recess appointment as United State Surgeon General.

The nomination had stalled in the Senate when Senators learned of Holsinger’s abject homophobia, and his acts of aggressive discrimination through his various positions within the Methodist Church.

I’d like to point out that I have talked with Holsinger directly, and based on all I can learn from and about him, the charges that he is a bigot are completely true. I also found him to be arrogant and deceitful (an excellent fit for the Bush administration).
