President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday tapped Dr. Mehmet Oz, a former television talk show host and heart surgeon, to head the agency that oversees health insurance programs for millions of older, poor and disabled Americans.
Dr. Oz's talents included running a TV show where he pushed all sorts of medical quackery. And he carpetbagged himself over to Pennsylvania to run for senate and got beat by a guy who was having a stroke.
But there is a near-constant: The Doddering Old Fat Felon seems to like to surround himself with people whose one real talent is appearing on television. Sort of like himself, in that regard.
When Mark Burnett dies, may he burn in Hell, forever. For without his stupid show, Cadet Bone Spurs would have spiraled into backruptcy and prison ages ago.
All these insane cabinet choices. Makes one wonder where is Vance? At the furniture store?
ReplyDeleteGoing to be a long four years.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see what happens by the mid terms... assuming he makes it.
ReplyDeleteEck!
DTWND, VD Vance is at his public-access local channel talking about pets in one's diet and cat ladies to build up his TV creds for Trump.
ReplyDeleteWhen I told my physician wife about RFK's new position, I thought she was having a stroke. On hearing that Dr Oz is headed to CMS, she just asked for more wine.
ReplyDeleteSoon you won't be able to afford having a stroke.
DeleteDonald is hell bent on making the government fail. Each of his appointments is guaranteed to fail in their position. I don't want to now what he plans on replacing it with.

Exactly, it's a wrecking crew.
ReplyDeleteOne of the older tricks in the book:
1. wreck the department or prevent it from functioning;
2. point at it and say, "oh dear, it's not working";
3. outsource it to the private sector if it cannot be abandoned entirely;
4. PROFIT.
