And the Irony Caused Whiplash
File under “The Irony Causes Whiplash”, former CEO of now bankrupt Murray Energy Company, has filed for federal black lung benefits. You’ll remember Bob Murray, the guy who presided over the Crandall Mine disaster that killed 9 in 2007, and then denied responsibility for it. He’s also the litigious Trumpist who threatens to sue anyone who tells the truth publicly about him. He unsuccessfully sued John Oliver for slander after Oliver truthfully reported on Murray’s lies, earning Oliver’s spectacular “Eat Shit, Bob” response last year. For those who haven’t seen it, here it is in all of its profanity laced glory.
Murray, who is a life long climate change and science denier, lied for years that unprotected coal mining didn’t cause black lung when it’s an irrefutable fact that it does. So here we have Ol’ Eat Shit, Bob himself, filing for federal black lung benefits for a disease he claims doesn’t exist.
My neck hurts.
Okay Lady Karma, time to line up old Bob with a shot of the Covid-19 hoax to tangle with his hoax black lung disease.
Irony, El Jefe? Irony standing on hypocrisy wrapped in hubris. As with Paul Lyin’ Ryan collecting social security benefits then working to destroy the program, and so many others of that ilk like Batista-lite Teddie “birther” Crooze. El Jefe, if “only” your neck hurts, we hope that means you can hang in there with the rest of us until 2021 when there’s a chance of stomping out the many dumpster fires.
1Bob must have contracted non-existent black lung from all that non-existent “clean coal” he said he was digging and selling.
2Thanks for that Jefe. I’d forgotten.
3Has Murray ever been down a mine? The air quality in West Virginia must be worse than we thought.
4John Oliver’s response was epic!!! And Bob is getting his comeuppance from G-d now, too.
5Take heart, JJ. Old Eat-Shit-Bob may be in for some whiplash of his own.
He’s been backing Trump all this time and, if Trump should win, he’ll finally be able to kill the ACA and put his thumb in Obama’s eye. And Bob will have a pre-existing condition so he’ll lose his health insurance instantly.
Too bad, so sad, I wouldn’t grieve for him. I’d save my grief for the people with real pre-existing conditions. Like Covid-19 for instance.
6To paraphrase John Oliver, EAT SHIT, BOB!
And you, too, Greg A-Butt!
