Odd Oz
There are good ideas and there are bad ideas. And then there are ideas foaming from a gallon jug of crackpot.
Dr. Oz said the uninsured “don’t have the right to health,” but should be given “a way of crawling back out of the abyss” with “15-minute physicals” provided by the government “in a festival like setting.” pic.twitter.com/YMyhpZfEFI

Okay, sit down and catch your breath.
Now, somebody please ask this doctor exactly how you climb out of an abyss with a 15 minute physical at a festival. I wanna hear this because magic has to be involved and I just love magic.
And then there’s this —
Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has financial ties to at least two pharmaceutical companies that supply hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that he has floated as a possible Covid-19 treatment.
Here’s my request to John Fetterman. Do not debate this fool. Do not. He is going to say something batcrap crazy like this in the middle of the debate and even Cicero Hisownself wouldn’t know what to say and would probably just stand there with his mouth hanging open and little drool things running out the sides of his mouth.
Nobody can win a debate against a man who thinks somebody with cancer and no insurance can get cured in 15 minutes at a festival. But I’m sure there will be drug trucks on premise selling hydroxychloroquine.
My money would be on Fetterman. He has shown that he throws better shade than just about anyone. He can think on his feet.
1Sounds like OZ has forsaken the Hippocratic Oath along with ethics and human decency for money. Am I shocked? Nope.
2Is he an actual doctor? Or one like Rand Paul?
3Did he get his M.D. degree from a place that has the name “Trump” in it somewhere?
4Dr. Oz really knows who to put the Oz in Oz. His words take to the wind like flying monkeys. He could use a man behind the curtain because the one in front definitely doesn’t cut it.
5He’s also had some interesting takes on incest. Gotta be more than first cousins to mash:

OK, no big deal although most of us don’t go to family gatherings to hit on folks. But read on in that article where we get Rafael Cruz-like contemplations:
“You know, that’s why children, girls don’t like their fathers’ smell. Their pheromones will actually repel their daughters because they’re not supposed to be together,” Oz said. “My daughters hate my smell.” Yee responded with, “Maybe you just smell.” Oz replied, “My wife says she likes the smell.”
Now that I’ve helped everyone on a diet to avoid food for today, consider the mental image of T**** and daughter sniffing each other and calculating whether or not they like it.

6FDR’s four freedoms included the freedom from want and the freedom from fear. The inability to afford healthcare would seem to work against both freedoms. Ergo, this quack is against freedom.
Crudites, anyone?
7I agree completely about debating Oz, the snake-oil salesman with a medical degree. Mama taught me long ago not to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person, and I would add especially one who pals around with a dictator, Armenian- genocide denier seemingly beloved by CPAC and the GQP.
8@ Larry from Colorado #3–Yes, Oz is a real doctor. His is, or was, a heart surgeon. Which gives him zero knowledge of the treatment of epidemics like COVID, and apparently no realization that viruses don’t respond to medication for parasites. If he actually debates Fetterman, I hope John Fetterman wipes the floor with him.
9Oz has been smoking the wrong hookah. His future lies in rehab!
10Lordy. With ‘doctors’ such as Oz, Sleepy Ben Carson and Runt Paul maybe we should demand doctors post the political affiliations in lieu of their board certifications.
11John Fetterman is now in the position where he has to debate Oz. Oz, Rethug Senator Toomey and the Pennsylvania Republican leaning press (Pittsburgh Post Gazette to name one) have accused him of being too sick to serve, if he can’t participate. This seems to be the only stick they can keep beating him with and might even persuade Dems to question his health. Hope he is able to de-worm Oz on stage.
12He’s the lizard of Oz and a snake oil salesman.
13John Fetterman has agreed to a debate, with specific adaptations to address “auditory processing” problems that continue in the aftermath of his stroke. Printed explanation is he may need some variety of closed captioning to read the questions instead of counting on his listening processes.

“A Democratic pollster who conducts focus groups for campaigns in Pennsylvania said that swing voters don’t bring up Fetterman’s health problems themselves while discussing the Senate race, but when they are asked about it, they tend to find it relatable. The pollster was granted anonymity to describe proprietary research.
“A letter from Fetterman’s physician released in June, which not-so-subtly chastised him for not following doctor’s orders before his stroke, resonated in particular.
“50-year-old women from Delco, they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s my husband,” said the pollster, referring to a Philadelphia suburb. “‘Oh God, are all men this way?’ ”
Contemplating my next doctor’s appointment and the dialog that will happen there — I’m guessing God would answer “maybe not QUITE all men are that way.”
14Even if Fetterman is still recovering from his stroke, I figure he can wipe the floor with the Lizard of Oz. (Sorry, that just came to me out of nowhere.)
15I imagine that by medical festival, Dr. Oz means one of those events when a group of doctors and dentists spend 3-5 days working pro bono at a fair grounds or exhibition center treating people who could never afford to see a doctor otherwise. Oz is apparently promoting the soup kitchen version of medical care as the best way to provide medical care to working class Americans.
16Mehmet is too into himself – John will know what to say to make Ozy look an idiot .
17Quack, quack, quack!
18sounds like a klan rally.
