From the New York Times:
The man infected with a dangerous and hard-to-treat form of tuberculosis, who potentially exposed several hundred airline passengers to the disease, is the son-in-law of a microbiologist who studies tuberculosis at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement this afternoon that Mr. Speaker’s father-in-law, Dr. Bob Cooksey, works for the C.D.C. in its division of tuberculosis elimination, where he studies the spread of tuberculosis and other bacteria.
I don’t know if this is irony in the proper sense or in the Morissette sense…
