Videotaped health care - should Dems be seizing on this issue?
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 05:23 PM by TWriterD
From Dowd's column:

As one disgusted Times reader suggested in an e-mail: "Americans ought to send Bill Frist their requests: 'Dear Dr. Frist: Please watch the enclosed video and tell us if that mole on my mother's cheek is cancer. Does she need surgery?' "

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/24/opinion/24dowd.html?hp

Anyone else up for bombarding Frist with tapes? I have a headache radiating down through my neck; think I'll send him a videotape of the back of my head and ask for his diagnosis.

1. Send him a tape of himself
and ask if the person on the tape is suffering from Ass/Head Reversal.

2. You know, that is a good idea
And what A great way to make a silent protest.


We could have someone show the pollups on thier ass and ask Mr. Frist if those are bad and have another person ask him why they are coughing all the time while puffing on a cig, etc etc.


I would even make something up just to fuck with him.

but lousy health care is something that affects ALL Americans (but for those buying above and beyond what the unwashed masses can afford). And yes, I'm feeling antagonistic today, so phucking with him is just fine by me!

7. I like the ass, polyp thing
And maybe they could also ask for a letter to excuse them from any future draft, the Limbaugh exclusion.

3. Next: outsourcing videos to India for diagnosis
We'll get back to you in about a month with your ailment.
