Is there anyone who hasn't been forced into partisan politicking?

There have been so many of these in the past six years, it's hardly newsworthy to mention anymore, but here's another fine example of someone who was silenced from telling the truth while working for this administration.

The first U.S. surgeon general appointed by President George W. Bush accused the administration on Tuesday of political interference and muzzling him on key issues like embryonic stem cell research.

"Anything that doesn't fit into the political appointees' ideological, theological or political agenda is ignored, marginalized or simply buried," Dr. Richard Carmona, who served as the nation's top doctor from 2002 until 2006, told a House of Representatives committee.
...
Carmona said Bush administration political appointees censored his speeches and kept him from talking out publicly about certain issues, including the science on embryonic stem cell research, contraceptives and his misgivings about the administration's embrace of "abstinence-only" sex education.

Ok, is there anyone who hasn't been appointed by this administration only become a political hack once in office? And if all of these people really are a nonpartisan as they all claim to be, why isn't anyone speaking out just a tad bit sooner? So much for "a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
