Mehmet Oz, right
Medias Touch, a liberal-leaning super PAC, has produced a very funny two-minute video ad that skewers Pennsylvania's GOP Senate nominee Mehmet Oz, using classic movie scenes from The Wizard of Oz interspersed with clips of him as the Wizard.
The parody ad arraigns Oz for his promotion of questionable medical products on his old cable show, including weight loss supplements he later regretted endorsing.
"You're a very bad man!" cries Dorothy -- and does she ever have Oz nailed.

President Joe Biden
(Reuters) - President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the sentencing of basketball star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison on drugs charges in Russia was "unacceptable" and called on Moscow to release her immediately.
"Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney," Biden said a statement.
"It's unacceptable, and I call on Russia to release her immediately so she can be with her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates."
