Hochul teases Noem about the Texas dentistry video
A Little Dental Humor: Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Playful Jab at a Fellow Governor
Politics can be prickly, but sometimes it’s all smiles and banter. This was the case when Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York delivered a light-hearted jest aimed at Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota. The bone of contention? A seemingly innocent endorsement of a Texas dental clinic.
“I’m fine with my dental care in New York; no Texas tooth commercials for me, thank you very much,” Hochul quipped with a twinkle in her eye.
The stage for Hochul’s playful poke was none other than ABC’s The View, where sharp questions and witty repartee are par for the course. During this particular exchange, co-host Joy Behar’s query about potential commercial cameos led to Hochul’s charming retort.
Not Just Fun and Games
But Hochul’s joke had a serious undertone, showcasing her commitment to ethics:
“My dental visits are strictly professional, and I can proudly say my integrity’s worth far more than any endorser’s paycheck—even if it only buys me a modest cup of joe back in the Empire State!”
The friendly barb revolved around a video posted by Noem, praising Smile Texas for their exceptional dental service, following an accident that called for an “adjustment” to her smile. Curiosity was piqued, however, as viewers wondered why a South Dakota governor sought treatment so far from home.
Why Texas, You Ask?
Despite the feel-good nature of Noem’s toothy testimonial, the details behind her interstate dental journey remained as enigmatic as her pearly whites. Over a thousand miles lie between Pierre, SD, and Sugar Land, TX—quite the trek for a dental check-up.
- Noem’s video is almost five minutes of high praise for Smile Texas.
- Her likeness graces the clinic’s “Smile Gallery,” hinting at a VIP treatment.
- Yet her office keeps mum when quizzed about the cross-country cavity crusade.
So, while Noem’s dental adventure poses some unanswered questions, Hochul’s stance is crystal clear, displaying a blend of humor and high standards that will surely keep New Yorkers—and perhaps a broader audience—grinning.
For those looking to sink their teeth into the entire story, a click is all it takes:
At the end of the day, a little lighthearted banter can go a long way, reminding us that behind the policies and politics, governors can have a good laugh too. And when it comes to dental endorsements, it seems Gov. Hochul will be sticking to her New York roots, quips and all.
