Just listened to an interview with The New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg. Someone who attended prep school with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled watching him place metal cutlery under the dining hall table and holding a lighter to them. This was so the boy clearing the table would burn his hands.

1. A very disturbed man...

In charge of the health care of millions.

His family tried to tell Congress, and it fell on deaf ears.

[AZJonnie]

2. Or maybe he was heating up a spoon, getting his dope ready to fix up

Either way, isn't he JUST the sort of character we should want in charge of H&HS?

3. My first thought - melting his heroin

[The Wizard]

4. He belongs in an institution

other than HHS. I'm thinking Butner, NC.

5. Another entitled rich brat that got away with everything all his life, no wonder he gets along with tRump. nt

6. A nepo-baby on steroids.

All grow'd up and batshit crazy. He's crazier than tsf.

7. Years ago, I went to a book promoting presentation by Al Franken in Berkeley CA. RFK Jr. opened the program.

This was when Jr. was kind of a leftist progressive figure. I loved Al, so I bought his book and had him sign it to my sister; I gave it to her as a gift. But I remember leaving the show and being quite impressed with Robert F Kennedy Junior.

Times certainly have changed.

8. i'm guessing al's book was lies and the lying lyers who tell them

???
i loved that book!!
kennedy was on air america's ring of fire show a lot. i remember donating to his riverkeepers or whatever it was and i remember he even referenced an email i had sent him and said my name on the show.
yeah, he was a bit different then what he finally turned into.
although i do remember him talking about that thimerosal and vaccines on ring of fire too

9. Sounds like something Miller would have done, too.

Did they kill small, innocent animals as children?
