Tag: Robert F. Kennedy Jr

Astonishingly, this is not actually a joke. The younger Bobby K. was responding on Fox’s News Nation to a Vanity Fair profile of him including a… charming photo of him chowing down on a whole barbecued animal which the article speculated was a dog; Junior harrumphed that it was actually a goat, and for some reason felt the need to clarify that he would eat anything except dog, monkey, or human. And the above picture is how another Fox show, The Five, reported the conversation… the above way. I mean, I suppose it’s nice to know RFK Jr wouldn’t eat another human being, it’s just that no one was accusing him of cannibalism in the first place… still, now I feel the need to know where Biden and Trump stand on eating humans, and whether or not the phrase “I wouldn’t eat a human” actually means Kennedy would eat more than one…

Yeah, the Kennedys are not happy about Bobby Jr splitting off from the Democrats, but I couldn’t see him doing much else; he’s become so removed from them that they couldn’t have let him run for them. The question now is how much damage could he do to the Democrats by splitting the vote, and because he comes from THAT family which he’s kind of also abandoning, but he could be be equally harmful to the Republicans cos he’s probably drawn off a bunch of the far-right antivax dickheads they’re relying on. I don’t know. Maybe he won’t have much if any effect in the long term.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. press dinner explodes in war of words and farting

Page Six regrets to report that a press dinner to boost Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign descended into a foul bout of screaming and polemic farting Tuesday night.
The White House hopeful attended the affair at Tony’s on the Upper East Side, no doubt hoping to impress on the ladies and gentlemen of the Fourth Estate his worthiness to sit at the very same Oval Office desk once occupied by his late uncle.
But a shouting match over climate change broke out between two boisterous old men, sending the evening down an extremely unfortunate path.
The gaseous exchange — to which Page Six bore reluctant witness — began after a guest asked Kennedy, founder of the ecological organization Waterkeeper Alliance, about the environment.
And it seems that the mere inquiry was enough to set off apparently drunk gossip columnist-turned-flack Doug Dechert, the host of the event, who became enraged and screamed at the top of his lungs: “The climate hoax!”
Meanwhile, octogenarian art critic Anthony Haden-Guest, who appeared to have been sleeping happily for most of the dinner, was roused by the abrupt rumpus.
Haden-Guest suddenly opened his eyes and denounced his longtime pal Dechert, calling him a “miserable blob.” […]
Here, it seems, Dechert sensed the need for a new rhetorical tack, and let rip a loud, prolonged fart while yelling, as if to underscore his point, “I’m farting!”
The room, which included a handful of journalists as well as Kennedy’s campaign manager, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich, was stunned, seemingly unsure about whether Dechert was farting at Haden-Guest personally or at the very notion of global warming.

I normally wouldn’t read Page Six, let alone post anything from it, but this just fills me with joy. If RFK2 weren’t the person he is, I’d almost feel sorry for him, and I’d be wondering why Doug Dechert was even invited; he’s a right-winger who’s apparently helped get book deals for a bunch of other right-wingers (including professional racist Laura Loomer) who apparently couldn’t even get the people at Regnery to look at them. But RFK2 is who he is, so, you know, fuck him. Not like his own publisher doesn’t have some kind of dubious books on its list, too…
