I'm so happy that the poor brain worm was finally cured of that creepy parasite it was afflicted with.

If someone had pitched this current US election cycle as the script for a political dramedy, I would have told them they were crazy, this script is crazy and I refuse to suspend my disbelief to the extent required in order to watch the show.

(Rightwing) American politics are not for the feint of heart these days!

He's a Kennedy. That's what they do.

Ta, Marcie. Another Kennedy family tragedy. I met RFK Jr. when he was an environmental attorney, and he often did well at that. Now he's as kookoo as Q-Anon. I won't say he should be committed, because I am not a psychiatrist, but perhaps his family should look into that.

1. How small was that goddamn whale? Are we to believe that a small child helped RFK Jr. lift the head of a whale, which on its own probably weighed hundreds of pounds, onto the ROOF of a minivan?

2. Assuming they were able to get the head on the roof of the van, WHY WOULD YOU NOT ROLL THE WINDOWS UP?

3. What is it with RFK Jr., minivans, and dead animals?

I'm sorry, did what to his deceased ex wife's corpse? Did what to his babysitter?

Why the fuck we talkin' about brain worms?

Reading the article at the link about digging up his wife gave me the urge to shove a grapefruit in his face until he choked on it. This bastard really is a perfect mate for CFPAB. Dunno why he didn't sign up with him sooner.

"Bobby — who likes to study animal skulls and skeletons — ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale's head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York."

And here we thought that Mitt Romney's Seamus the dog story was horrifying. More innocent times.

When you're rich, it's "eccentric" but if you're A Poor it's just plain old batshit crazy

batshit crazy or a potential criminal charge

Perhaps RFK mistook Trump for a rotting whale carcass.

The stench alone would have confused ol' Bobby Brainworms.

I would never put it past RFKJ to endorse *Robert* Trump, maybe in hopes of getting Robert's uncle strapped to the top of the family car too and exuding bronzer and hairspray, or perhaps by accident.

But sadly, I think that was an extremely rare Wonkette mistake in the first sentence...of this otherwise typically pitch- and in all other ways-perfect Marcie Jones joynt.

Again I ask, was RFK Jr in the vicinity of Montauk NY during the summer of 2008?

If I were the campaign manager for a candidate in a tight race with a lot of undecided voters and we were getting branded as weird and it was costing us, I would probably not form an alliance with a dude who has a brain worm and probably intended to eat a baby bear. That’s just me. Pretty sure this is not going to play out how they think it will. But the media will act like this was great. Shhh. Let’s not tell them how stupid it is until it really really backfires — and it will.

It really feels like this is a slow drip of batshit leading up to the finale where we find Lowly Worm actually DID eat human meat.

Eric Zorn, late of the Chicago Tribune (before modern capitalism came in and did its thing), once pointed out that the so-called "Kennedy curse" is nothing more than ordinary life. His basic point was that if you take any clan, or even random group of people, of approximately the same size and reproductive rate of the Kennedys, and look at them over a span of three generations or so, there will almost inevitably be a certain number of tragedies, fuckups, people going off the rails, etc., as well as good or even magnificent lives. It's just that the intensity and high visibility of the Kennedy tragedies magnified the public impact of every other bad thing that happened to that family.

I don't know - a son killed in WWII, 2 assassinations, plane crashes - Teddy and JFK Jr., Chappaquiddick. That's a lot for any family.

Jen has Puce Sarcasms's avatar

yeah, my own clan is ginormous. Like my grandmother had 32 grandchildren by the time she died, and already 30 great grandchildren, with many more after she passed.

There's been a few accidents here and there, mostly car related, but no assassinations on live TV sort of thing.
