Dr. Oz Finds “Unhealthiest American” — More Than 8,000 People Applied

Out of the more than 8,000 people nominated for Dr. Oz’s “Unhealthiest American” special by their friends, spouses, and children, we have a winner: this guy named Steve. Insert snarky comment about how Americans are overweight and it’s so much better in Europe here.

From Dr. Oz’s website:

Yes, Steve brings up the scary part of American healthcare; he has problems with all 4 (or all 5) of the major drivers of healthcare use in the United States: tobacco, poor food choices and large portion size, physical inactivity, and stress. These have resulted in the early onset of a number of really risky conditions including sleep apnea, type II diabetes, lipid abnormalities, and lung and vascular (blood vessel) inflammation.

Yikes! Fortunately, Steve will soon be keeping a food diary and eating regular breakfasts, so everything should be OK soon.

this show is as pointless and lackluster as The Joy Behar show.

We really do need to do something with these repulsive fat folks. Borrow a page from the GOP/Crypto-Nazi playbook. Visualize fence posts and barbed wire. The faint sound of choo-choos in the distance.

A couple of them were “dressed” in white. Resembled a tourniquet on a…marshmallow!

Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’

4:57 pm, Tuesday

video

After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail. Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
