What a snake!

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

“What a snake!” Those words do not come from me. They’re the words of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign committee who have just rolled out a new ad against Mehmet “the snake” Oz entitled simply “Snake.” And it is an excellent ad, short but not so sweet, effectively showing Mehmet’s support of awful policies.

In this ad, Mehmet’s history of peddling fake medical cures is highlighted. “He’s always looking for new customers.” It is worth mentioning that the narrator in this ad is fantastic. The ad also attacks the Oz Snake for several radical positions he holds, including support for Rick Scott’s proposal of cutting Socials security and medicare. And for wanting to kick millions off their health plans.

“What a snake!” says the narrator. For some reason, I felt the need to play that ad over a few times. It really is delicious, and I think the casting of Oz as a snake really works rather well. In fact, I think we just might need some “What a snake” T-shirts.
