Dr. Sanjay Gupta does the drop kick as Mikey gets unMoored on CNN
2007-07-10
The set up. Michael Moore has to sit through a 3 minute or so tear apart of his movie Sicko. Dr. Sanjay Gupta delt out 10 minutes of simple facts.

Then the camera pans to Mikey. Be sure to catch his face, head hanging to one side, mouth open, eyes fixed. The deer in the headlight phrase gets used purhaps to much. But not in this case.

Wolf Blitzer finally has to slap him out of it. unMoored never sees it coming. Tub O'Lard spends the rest of the interview trying to change the subject and it really isn't worth watching. FYI, Mikey hasn't been on CNN for three years becaues he refused their invites.

But enjoy the "look" as the fat man develops Type II diabetes right on camera. For a moment there I honestly thought my video was on pause...

#13  Yes, Canadians all over are dying for lack of health care. Please send donations and band-aids (and a few insurance companies too) up north. Just think what a few cents can do for a Canadian dying of lack of health care. But please hurry, U.S. dollars won't be worth as much up here soon.

#12  10 years ago when I began to run across Canadien doctors that were practicing in rural Kentucky for an upgrade, I wondered how Canada was staffing its wonderful health care system. Within the last fortnight I learned the answer.

#10  BA - 10-4.

See this is the trouble with MSM and journalists in particular. They believe that if you were a doctor, lawyer, or in Michael Yon's case a SFs soldier, you can never again perform your other job once you become one of them. Every time Bill Frist got involved in a medical emergency, the journalists first reaction was that he was grandstanding and somehow caused the accident so he could use his medical training for "political" purposes. I wonder how one of them would feel if while embedded with Gupta their Humvee got IED'd and asked Gupta for help but he refused because he was now a "journalist" but he would make every effort to spell their name correctly.

#9  That's because he actually followed the Hippocratic oath, not the Hypocritical oath, xb!

#8  While in Iraq, Gupta performed emergency surgery on both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

IIRC, Gupta was criticized by some in the MSM for doing this.

#7  Agreed Mike. Gupta seems to have his heart in the right place.

#6  Wikipedia:

In 2003, Gupta traveled to Iraq to cover the medical aspects of 2003 invasion of Iraq. While in Iraq, Gupta performed emergency surgery on both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. One such case was a young marine named Jesus Vidana. Gupta was embedded with a Marine medical unit at the time. Vidana had a severe head injury and the Marines asked for Gupta's assistance because of his background in neurosurgery. Vidana survived and was sent back to the United States for rehabilitation.

I like this man.

#1  I didn't see Gupta's stuff, but did listen to all of Mikey's bluster. He goes off for a long time on the war, attacking CNN and the main stream media because they "failed to ask the hard questions and get the honest answers" on the war.

"Honest answers" would be the ones Mikey wants to hear. Just answer your own questions, Blimpo.
