The Ultimate Republican Dilemma

When I was a kid, there was a "joke" that kids used to tell about the ultimate Jewish dilemma: free ham. Today, via Kos, I'm reading about the ultimate Republican dilemma: flu vaccine provided by the French:

A French pharmaceutical company will supply 2.6 million extra anti-flu shots to help the United States cope with a vaccine shortage that has sparked public concern, a top US health official said on Tuesday.



Tommy Thompson, Health and Human Services Secretary for the United States, said Aventis-Pasteur, a division of French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis, will raise the number of vaccines available in the US to 58 million in January.



The doses represent more than half of what the United States needs.
