Dickhead of the Week - Dr. W. David Hager


hager

With a heads-up from Valerie, I was looking forward to reading more about this Dickhead in my weekly The Nation delivery. And yes, what a Dickhead. In his role as Evangelical Christian advisor, he convinced the FDA not to allow the morning-after pill to be available over-the-counter, going against the FDA's own advisory committee. So policy alone would be enough to warrant Dickheadedness on the part of Dr. David, but you'll be shocked -- shocked, I tell you -- to learn that this moralizer of the Christian Right is also -- gasp! -- a fucking hypocrite. His ex-wife claims that over the course of their 32-year marriage, he repeatedly raped her, both vaginally and anally. Her allegations against him, and indeed her experience being married to him, sound absolutely horrific. And yet the twisted fuck publicly claims that their marriage fell apart because he was "too busy doing the Lord's work." I've never heard a more offensive definition of "the Lord's work" in my life.

well, since anal rape so rarely results in pregnancy, there's really no need for the morning-after pill, is there? so perhaps he's still OK on the whole hypocrisy thing...

You know, I sat here for a minute to try and come up with some clever comment, but it is just too disgusting to make light of. How can people like this manage to hide their vileness enough to be allowed to exist; much less to gain positions of power?
