Mehmet Oz: How Dare You Call Me By My Real Name!

Senate candidate Mehmet Oz is ginning up his own mock controversy over the Philadelphia Inquirer’s decision to – now you might need to sit down to absorb this – refer to him in stories by his real first and last names. It’s a total and utter outrage that is perfectly suited to the “Fox and Friends” couch.

Seems to me that you shouldn’t get the honorific doctor when you’re just a television quack.

I think Senate candidates should be required to use a rap name generators and run under the result. Just tried one, and it says we should call him Real Mo Dubz.

I apologize for ever thinking Dr Oz was actually a decent human being, and not just another overly ambitious showbiz republican.

He’s lucky they don’t refer to him as Jack Pumpkinhead from the various sequels to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The celebrity doctor only registered to vote in Pennsylvania last year under his in-laws’ address in suburban Philadelphia.

Hopefully Dr. pimple popper never runs for office. “You have to use my real television name!”

When Jerry Brown was running for president in 1992 as required by election law had to be listed on the ballot as Edmund G. Brown. They couldn’t use nicknames or a colloquialism like “the rent is too damm high” though that might have been changed by now.
