April 23: “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're gonna test it.

May 19: “When we have a lot of cases, I don't look at that as a bad thing, I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a good thing. Because it means our testing is much better. I view it as a badge of honor, really, it's a badge of honor.”

Thank god this self-centered incompetent asshole is leaving-- he is clearly responsible for more Americans dying than those that died in 9/11 (many times over, in fact).
