  1. Nice of the health care execs to make noise and draw attention to their names & actions.

  2. So why was the kid allowed to sit in his own shit then?

  4. The discovery in this case will be epic. You know that they’ll seek a motion for protection to keep Oliver from seeing just how terrible they are.

  5. This will get messy but the good doctor appears to be OK with some level of messy.

  6. I like how it ended with “this is going to get messy” No it isn’t. Oliver’s lawyers are top notch on top of vigorous fact checking. They won’t win that. They also will not want to be deposed by the brains behind LWT

  7. The man offered a US Supreme Court Justice a RV to step down on air, and then brought it up repeatedly, even showing the actual very real RV he was offering.

    His lawyers know what they are doing, they’re pretty damn confident before he goes on air with anything.

    Edit:

    It’s is also worth noting that the doctor in question did say that, they played the audio on the show of him saying it. He didn’t say the exact words but basically yea he said it’s fine for people can’t clean themselves properly after a bowel movement to not be cleaned for a few days.

  9. John Oliver can claim that belief because it is supported by the executives’ own actions.

  11. James Oliver gives me the vibe that he knows what he’s doing. I wouldn’t really fuck with him.

  12. Do they not know how this went for the last guy that tried to sue him? I hope he does another musical number.
