Mehmet Oz turned down a chance to campaign on a second tier TV and radio program, but turned it down "because it would make Fox unhappy"

Smerconish, while he has a national TV and radio show, was born, raised, and still lives in PA.  He's a much bigger name in PA than he is in nationally.  Would have been a good platform for Oz.  That said, points out why the GOP is on track to no longer be a national party anymore.  You're not allowed to even try to expand the voter base out of fear of the oversized oompa loompa in Florida and his crew.

Me three, ok there is a resemblance but if you actually followed the Peanuts strip or the specials you'd realize there is nothing at all derogatory about Peppermint Patty.

 

is it because some people think she's a lesbian and that's still a put down to some neanderthals?  The kind of people who think they are being clever when they say "Ellen Degenerate"?

I still can't get over Mehmet's insistence on not being called Mehmet.  It's not the media's responsibility to go by your trade name or to just say "Dr. Oz".  They don't refer to Rand Paul all the time as "Dr. Paul".

He wants their help in reminding people that he's "That guy named Oz" and not just any other guy named Oz, especially a guy with a 'foreigner' name.  What kind of a patriotic American has a name that sounds like some Ay-Rab?  Bad enough they had to sit through Barack Hussein Obama.

True story, a HS friend of mine, after Obama was elected, complained that he was going to have to try to explain to his daughter than a guy named Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of these United States..... yes he has a southern accent too.

It looks like Oz may be trying to take a page out of the Youngkin playbook in Virginia. Play nice with the Trumpkin base in the primary then head toward the center.Youngkin had a bit of help from the state party who rigged the primary process against the die heart Trumpers.

I think Oz may find it more difficult in the general, if he does actually get the nomination.  Especially if Fetterman actually gets the Democratic nomination.

Probably, but she has a crush on CB who has a crush on the unseen Red Headed Girl. 

I know too much about this stuff, even though I haven't watched a CB special since the invention of cable

Good one?

Everyone thinks Peppermint Patty is a Lesbian?  That is a thought that never occurred to me.

I think this has been a theory.  It seems a leap that people are trying to make with Psaki and the picture in question, but this thread gets derailed pretty easily at times, so I guess it makes sense in that way.

I may be in the minority here, but I don't know that Fetterman is all that great a candidate. Conor Lamb would be better.

Me neither I just thought it looked like her doppelganger. I didn't know it would get certain people to jump up and hit their head on the drop ceiling in their home office in the basement.

OK, so, for the record, you were the one that went off on oblong for his redhead wearing green comment, calling "bullshit" because ... well, I don't think anyone outside of you is clear on why, but which you did before anyone brought up the lesbian possibility.

I was kidding, thats his trademark comment when he gets triggered. Go look through his posts, he has basically patented it!
