A Useful Idiot
There is an urban legend in Fort Worth circles about a guy that was pulled over. The police officer saw a mysterious package in the front seat. Supposedly, the driver said, “don’t worry officer, it’s not a bomb. It’s crack cocaine.” I seriously doubt this story is true, but we always told in Government class to illustrate a point. Some people are just stupid and you don’t want to be like them.
Well apparently the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign has gotten off to an even worse start than Ron DeSantis’s campaign. Then, someone accused him of suggesting that the COVID virus was engineered and racially motivated. Then, he managed to make a statement that just cleared up everything.
The @nypost story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021…

Don’t worry officer. It’s not a bomb. It’s just crack cocaine. To put it another way, essentially Kennedy is saying, “I’m not a racist. I’m just nuts.” Is it any wonder that he is conservatives’ favorite spoiler candidate. They are hoping that you and me will overlook the crazy and just vote for him because he’s a Kennedy and because he is younger than Joe Biden.
Who knows what is motivating RFK Jr. Maybe he knows he has no chance in the world, but just wants his 15 minutes of notoriety. Maybe he is delusional enough to believe he has a chance. Maybe he knows exactly what conservatives are doing and just wants to take down Joe Biden for his own reasons. Maybe he is too dense to know he’s a tool. Maybe the tweet above is just an admission of lunacy.
Some people are just blessed without self-awareness. Let’s say his statement is 100 percent true. There are parts of it that make perfect sense. Maybe the virus was a bioweapon. Maybe it effects some people more than others. Maybe a lot of things. However, you put all of that together and it makes very little sense. Most people would know that before saying it. RFK Jr. isn’t most people.
There are so many articles on Google about the crazy things RFK Jr has said over the years. Even his own family says he is a dangerous conspiracy nut. If RFK were still alive, I’m guessing he would disown him. He’s even flakier than the orange moron (well maybe tied). Talking about someone who likes to hear himself talk.
1Here in Arizona we say ” That Boy just ain’t Right “
2Florida sounds like the perfect place for RFK Jr to base his operations.

If RFK jr is the spoiler candidate Republicans hope for, they shouldn’t be complaining that President Biden won’t debate him. They should be glad RFK jr isn’t debating anyone, they should hope he would stop talking period.
4No more Kennedys. No more Bushes. Please, Lord, spare us. And Rastybob…..we say the same thing here in Carolina.
5It seems to me that he would be more of a spoiler for Trump or whoever is the Republican candidate. They are so in love with the ghosts of JFK and his son that that this nutcase seems to be right up their alley. There’s nothing resembling a Democrat there. We sure don’t need this crazy screwing up Biden’s re-election.
6This reminded me of when Reese Witherspoon was on SNL years ago playing Anne Heche in their version of Celebrity Jeopardy. She starts speaking in jibberish and then said “that means I’m no longer crazy in my made up space language.” We’ve all seen the clips and seen the tweets/posts from people that are just absolutely nuts. Of course, what’s more hilarious than seeing two lunatics argue that their conspiracy theory isn’t a the right one. Could you imagine “don’t be ridiculous with that Chinese bio weapon that targets Italians. It was clearly the lizard people from planet Quting coming to kill us all.” That’s the danger of recruiting crazy. You have to hope they are the exact same type of crazy.
7It isn’t that RFK Jr is two tacos shy of a combination plate – there’s no beans, rice, enchiladas – and no plate.

9Doonesbury cartoon today (Sunday) is great, worth searching for. I don’t have a 6th grader at hand to forward it for me.
10Jace- yes! I always read it.

12Can only think that RFKJr. is the result of trauma. That family has a lock on such a thing. First born of Rose and Joe died in WW2, Kathleen died in an airplane crash, then JKF and RFK were murdered, plus two of Junior’s brothers died young, one from a drug problem and the other in a skiing accident. Also, Junior’s last wife committed suicide. Sound like enough to completely tip someone over the line?
13“In that sense, it serves as a kind of proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons. I do not believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered.”
14Dear RFK Jr. – those two sentences exactly contradict one another. BTW, can you pour water out of a boot? Asking for a friend.
More stuff on Jr RFK, the useful idiot-

maggie @ 12 And the daughter who ws destroyed by a quack.
16He also denies the murder of a young woman by Michale Skakel in the Kennedy compound in 1975. He gives dirtbags a bad name.

Seems every Democratic family has one or so now and again. But the Republicans? The Bush family tree was full of squirrels.
18Then came TFG in which Mary is the only sane one in that family.
Apparently heroin not only damages the brain, it also makes you paranoid. Kennedy is convinced the CIA wants to kill him because he’s so important. With Trump peddling our nuclear secrets to half the world, they have nothing better to do.
