Citizen Journalist
(And not an expert!)
In its never-ending quest to sculpt public opinion, Rupert’s Rag, aka The Wall Street Journal, has concocted a panel of “experts” to pen
editorials on various subjects. Earlier
this week one of those experts – Thighmaster
queen Suzanne Somers – used the editorial page of the once venerable Journal to have her say on the subject
of Obamacare. Her piece was based
largely on personal anecdotes dealing with her in-law's interactions with the Canadian health care system, and
a couple of false quotes.
Ms. Somers called the Affordable Care Act “socialized
medicine” and “a greater Ponzi scheme than anything pulled off by Bernie
Madoff.” She credited V.I. Lenin as
saying “Socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of the socialist state,”
and said that Winston Churchill had proclaimed “Control your citizens’ health
care and you control your citizens.”
Neither gentleman had uttered the words that Ms. Somers tried to shove
into their mouths.
Fortunately for her, the 67-year-old fitness expert and promoter of
dubious medical therapies doesn’t have to trust her own health to the vagaries
and unknowns of Obamacare. She is
eligible for Medicare.
Enjoy your socialized medicine, Chrissy – and rage on!

Even on Three's Company "Chrissy" was never the smart one. Who knew that character was type cast?
