Pay No Attention To The Quack Behind The Curtain

Is there a doctor in the house?

A real doctor?  

Okay, Mehmet Oz is a real doctor, but, given his embrace of pseudoscience and alternative medicines, it's a wonder he hasn't lost his license.  He also proved in his U.S. Senate campaign in Pennsylvania that he's as good a politician as he is a doctor, claiming that carbon isn't so bad when it's only four-one hundredths of a percent of the partleices in the air and finding no fault in extending the Second Amendment to not-so-well-regulated militias. His incompetence as a doctor and his incompetence as a public servant coincided when he suggested that hydroxychloroquine could cure COVID.

And, just to show how extreme he isn't ("I'm a moderate!"), he attended a rally just before the election with Donald Trump and failed Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Douglas Mastriano, two guys not known for moderation.

CNN's Jake Tapper, who grew up in Philadelphia, said that knowing a thing or two about Pennsylvania politics, he could not imagine Democratic senatorial candidate John Fetterman being a viable contender.  He obviously knew absolutely nothing about Mehmet Oz.
