Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once made a peculiar pit stop to collect a dead raccoon's penis, according to New York Post investigative reporter Isabel Vincent. (1)

Vincent relayed the strange tale this week in an excerpt from her forthcoming book, "RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise." Her reporting is based on three of Kennedy's private journals spanning more than 1,200 pages.

Hat tip, NY Times Pitchbot. He had a few like this.

There is no strict Constitutional prohibition against cutting the penis off a dead raccoon and taking it home for "further study", so it's hard to see why Democrats are so unhappy with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And while it’s morbid and the removal process is creepy, the actual repurposing of something rather than it going to waste is not a terrible idea.

It just that it comes from a guy who is weird.

bottom line
what did he do with it ?
did he eat it ?
does he still have it ?
does he worship it ?
is it in his pocket as a good luck charm ?

It's not enough that these freaky parasitic weirdos try to rule over us like some inbred monarchy, they frequently have to say and do extra bizarre shit, or have an amazing past history of saying and/or doing such shit that gradually reveals itself over some horrifying period of time whilst they strut about like peacock princes, issuing decrees.







Why? Dammit why?
