A PUBLIC SERVANT? – AT 9:56 A.M. ET:   You cannot possibly make this up.  Is this man a public servant?  From Fox:

Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald on Monday compared the length of time veterans wait to receive health care at the VA to the length of time people wait for rides at Disneyland, and said his agency shouldn't use wait times as a measure of success because Disney doesn't either.

"When you got to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what's important? What's important is, what's your satisfaction with the experience?" McDonald said Monday during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters. "And what I would like to move to, eventually, is that kind of measure."

McDonald's comments angered House Speaker Paul Ryan, who tweeted out Monday afternoon, "This is not make-believe, Mr. Secretary. Veterans have died waiting in those lines."

COMMENT:  It is simply incredible that the VA secretary, who inherited a crisis in VA hospitals, doesn't understand that it's a real crisis.  But his lack of urgency reflects the attitude of the administration, which has never been very high on our armed forces or its veterans.

This man should be discharged immediately, but won't be.  If he insisted on a restroom for women only, he'd be gone in a second.
