KLEPT, Stroger rewards physician for bamboozling public

Sun-Times (Lori Rakl):

Cook County's beleaguered health bureau got a new leader Thursday, when County Board President Todd Stroger appointed his father's personal physician to the post.

Stroger called [Dr. Robert] Simon "one of our nation's most well-respected, accomplished and renowned public health professionals."

1. I don't believe Todd Stroger's claims about Simon's credentials.
2. Todd Stroger lacks the skills to determine someone's qualifications.
3. Simon is probably getting appointed for playing a supporting role in bamboozling the public about John Stroger's condition after his stroke.
