    You know what?

    Good on RFK Jr. 50 years ago just the thought of him being able to escape the political shadow of the previous generation of Kennedys would have been laughable.

    But when I saw this headline I legitimately forgot about his dad and uncle both being assassinated. My brain went straight to the brain worms.

    It’s honestly kind of crazy he’s not just a Jeb! type guy whose only notable feature is his last name.

      whose only notable feature is his last name.

      “Running for president despite the brain worms” is also quite notable.

      If we judge a man on the content of his character instead of judging him on the worm content of his brain… we’ll judge Kennedy worse

      yeah Jeb! should’ve shit his pants on stage so he would be remembered as the guy who shit his pants on stage rather than just a Bush.

      sometimes not being notable is the better outcome
