Let them eat crudite

[Mousetoescamper]

From John Fetterman: In a viral online video that’s all over the internet right now, Dr. Oz goes shopping for vegetables to make a “Crudité” for his wife.

I mean I guess that’s what they call it in Hollywood. But here in PA we just call that a... veggie tray.

Also it was incredibly obvious that this was Dr. Oz’s first time stepping inside a Redner’s Market — or as he referred to it, “Wegners” (there are a few Wegmans near his home in New Jersey).

So, to honor Dr. Oz’s love for Crudité (and also because it’s my birthday) we’re launching this NEW limited edition sticker.

1. Grifter McSnakeoil's campaign staff must all fall into one of three categories:

1) people who are as deranged and out of touch as he is
2) people who know they won't be listened to if they speak up
3) people who hate him/want him to lose

Is there any other explanation for that video seeing the light of day?

4. Oz posted a video of him "grocery shopping." He was in the

Produce aisle, without a cart, grabbing carrots, celery, etc., and whining about how expensive they were. The apparent intent was to show voters what a real “man of the people” he is when it was obvious he’s never done grocery shopping in his life. He picked up some asparagus as if he was going to make a raw vegetable tray with it.

So people jumped on the video to make fun of how clueless he is.

11. Broccoli, asparagus carrots, guacamole (no), and salsa (no).

I guess he will get the tequila ( with crudites??) later.

12. He grabs asparagus

The broccoli is probably $2 a pound. 1 broccoli crown is not a pound.

Who eats asparagus RAW?

He grabs a 5 lb bag of carrots.

The guacamole at $4 is pretty normal.

Who uses salsa on a veggie tray? Salsa is for chips.

He is really banging that "It's all Biden's fault" drum. The price of food has gone up because the price of gas and diesel was up. POTUS doesn't set the price of fuel and never has.

6. He is in way over his head. He makes it way too easy for Fetterman

The ads write themselves. So out of touch.

10. Brilliant!

I had no idea what a "crudité" was. I had to google it.

14. As opposed to the 'crudity' with which he failed at making a point. n/t

13. ....

I really detest it when rich, clueless assholes pretend they know their way around a supermarket.....I mean, WTF

15. It reminds me of when George HW Bush was amazed by the grocery scanner

at a grocers' convention. Turns out it was a new technology that could also weigh items and read mangled bar codes, but the damage was done. He looked out of touch with regular folks' daily lives.

In the case of Dr. Oz, it was pretty apparent that he doesn't do much grocery shopping, because there really wasn't anything exceptionally overpriced except maybe the "fresh" salsa and prepared guacamole. But then, your regular shopper is aware that prepared foods cost more for the convenience. If you want to save money, you buy the raw ingredients and make your own salsa and guacamole. You don't buy asparagus out of season, and most folks don't eat it raw. You also don't but a 5 lb bag of carrots unless you want A LOT of carrots.

Not to mention, POTUS doesn't set prices on groceries, gasoline or well, ANYTHING!
