George Will Can Kiss My Big Blue Butt
George Will is a nincompoop.
“There are doctors who are saying that in a sneeze or some cough, some of the airborne particles can be infectious.” Will also said Ebola could survive on a dry surface “for a number of days.”
Show host Chris Wallace cut Will off, asserting that Ebola does not spread like the flu, which does move from person to person when someone with the illness is out in public.
No doctor is saying that. Ebola doesn’t involve coughing.
Look, you are equally as likely to die on a Texas roller coaster as die from Ebola. If Ebola is so damn contagious how come only two people – both of whom are doing quite well, thank you very much – got it?
Shove it, George.
You’re talking about the two people who got it and didn’t die, right? Good for Chris for cutting George Will off.
1Wills appears to be very uneducated on this particular subject – and many more I’m thinking. Glad he was cut off.
2George is beyond a moron. Today was the 21st day the friends and family of Mr. Duncan were quarantined. Fortunately, everyone is healthy.
Fact. In it’s early stages Ebola is not highly contagious. Fact, as the viral load builds, and at the end stage death, patients are very contagious.
However, proper use of PPE, personal protective equipment can reduce the risk to zero.
Gov Perry (absent) and private facility Texas Health Presbyterian flat out screwed the pooch. Patient dead; two nurses infected. The contamination rate of health care workers in East Africa working with minimal resources is approximately 12 in 4000.
Yeah, oops again, Rick.
3Our house guest read that and said many years ago she thought that George Will was the only sane conservative. Now she thinks he’s losing his mind.
4GW is an intensely over-rated hack. He has come out before with the same type of outrageous stuff about other issues and despite the fact that he has been proven wrong he just keeps plodding along on the rwnj track. No street cred whatever. You would think that by now all the papers that carry his column would have pulled the plug on him, but heck, so many of them are owned by his fellow rwnj.
5George should stay with commentary on baseball instead of Ebola. The latter he doesn’t know a hill of beans about.
6What we are really seeing is damning right wing propaganda. Wallace conveniently gave Will the platform to start the lying rumor, of course Chris Wallace cut Will off, but all around wingnut land the false seed has been planted. ‘Yes Ebola DOES spread like the flu.’
7And of course Liberals and Obama are to blame.
I suppose if a patient near death coughed or sneezed directly in your unprotected face and you breathed in the particles from the air, it might be possible to contract ebola that way; but who the heck is going to get near a dying ebola patient without protective gear? George Will should be ashamed of himself for blatant fear-mongering. For a while there, after the death of William F. Buckley, he was the most intelligent right wing talking head; but that was a long time ago, and his ego has overtaken whatever good sense he once had.
8Ignorance, thy name is George.
9I quit reading George Will altogether, even for sick entertainment value, after he wrote a column on climate change which quoted certain studies as saying exactly the opposite of what they did say. At least the Washington Post printed a reader’s letter pointing that out, but there was no sign of a correction or retraction from Will or the Post.
So if anything he writes could be an outright lie, why waste my time read any of it?
10If George Will wants to practice medicine without a clue, he should turn his attention to the FLU which kills about 32,000 of our fellow citizens annually. He could urge folks to get their flu shots.
Regrettably, George Will is still the most articulate of the conservative pundits. Their bench is pathetic and George has been slipping farther and farther into the netherworld of right wing oblivion.
11A good measure of sanity is whether a pundit ever appears on PBS or MSNBC news shows. All I ever see of George Will is on CNN or Fox Noise. Will is a partisan conservative hack who gets paid to spout blather. I don’t know how he shaves in the morning, when he has to look at himself in a mirror. Even prostitutes have a higher sense of honor than he does.
12George is the poster chimp of the Republican mindset. Like a chimpanzee, he sits on his perch and picks nits until he thinks of some bit of feces he can fling.
13He will use fity cent words when two ten centers would. More adequately express. Hs is nothing more than a male Peggy Noonan.
GW … GW … why does that sound so familiar? Poster chimp, spewing nonsensical tripe … GW … boy, that is going to bother me all day long!! Or maybe not!!
Happy Monday, folks!!
14This isn’t going to end well for the Tea-Bag Nation!

15George Will…overprotected, overentitled white frat boy. (Hey, if none of that is true, then he deserves to be lied about, since he lies about others.)
16Will has been infected by teabola, the Republican’ts’ disease de jour.
17I usually agree with the commenters here. George Will is, indeed, an asshat, but I don’t think he’s among the most articulate of the rightwingers. I think they’re Mary Matalin, who’s the wrong gender, and Larry Elder, who’s the wrong color.
