impact
of mad cow disease on the US beef industry than with
finding
out if Mike Johanns is qualified to be agriculture
secretary.

Like it or lump it.

And personally, I don't give a damn if Johanns is qualified. My concern is that the US government in general isn't interested in extensive testing at slaughterhouses or clamping down on the worst practices.
