On Thursday, Congress voted along party lines to confirm Dr. Mehmet Oz, the heart surgeon turned ill-informed TV talk show host, making him the person in charge of the largest health insurance program in the country.

And this appointment might be dumber than WWE Superstar Linda McMahon running the Education Department. 

I mean who could forget Dr. Oz, who rose to fame on the back of Oprah Winfrey in the 1990s, and the hogwash he kept spouting during the coronavirus pandemic?
