The Absurd GOP

[Rev. Rye]

So, Cheryl Hines just went on the View, and around 3 minutes in, the subject went to her husband RFK Jr.'s brain worm





Apparently, the worm only ate a little bit of his brain and then died.

Then again, I'm not sure there's that much brain a worm can even eat without causing some damage. At the very least, it appears his speech has been clearly affected by it, as you can see by comparing this 2008 interview with anything you see him in now (even disregarding the bullshit he spews about autism making my blood boil, just the manner in which he speaks is really hard to listen to):




And then there's the metaphorical brain worm that wound up being trouble for the rest of the world: the kind that latched onto the "vaccines cause autism" bullshit, and not only stayed with it even after The Lancet retracted it entirely, but let it spiral into what basically amounts to a denial of germ theory and a rejection of 200 years' worth of advances in medicine that's somehow being enabled by the most powerful people in the land.
