Dumb as dirt

She ranted and raved about the Ebola crisis, demanding that those good American doctors who risked their own life and limb to assist the Africans suffering from that dreaded disease be quarantined, called traitors to the sanctity of American values, because they might bring the virus to the shores Jesus called home. She insisted that science was incorrect and the medical community incoherent regarding their findings on the contagion of Ebola. She knew a that her right wing anti science/education audience expected a low bar of intelligence regarding Ebola, and she delivered the dread and doom like dessert on a rancid cake. Now she regals in laughing off this whole measles thing as pure silliness and malarky, half crazed parents she insists, what’s a pox on your house if all that pox turns out to be is measles. How unAmerican, un-family values it is to quarantine un vaccinated kids, they are Americans you know not some citizen of a West African nation! She pooh-poohs the worries that a once eradicated malaise like measles has made a come back. No, this right wing/Evangelical nursing/ratings prostitute/feed the stupid a dose of even more stupid is laughing her ass off about this silly measles outbreak. This comedienne is Laura Ingraham and her jokes will just kill you!

He knew more than the scientists and was sure being hard ass would earn him love and adoration from the gun totting/stand your ground crowd. He is the sheriff of New Jersey and high noon came to his ranch when a nurse arrived in Newark with perhaps that African disease, Ebola. QUARANTINE her, and if she  resists tar and feather her, he is the boss and nobody with facts or information is going to deter him from running roughshod. Now he stands on a fence of reason and ridiculous, ruminating about choices parents should have as they decide to spread the measles disease as if it was a matter of free speech. This is AMERIKA he declares and parents know best about the lives of their children, and they should be given freedom to ruin the lives of any other parent’s child. Never one for the facts but oozing at the pores for soundbytes and frenzy from a right wing lunatic fringe, Governor (I want to be YOUR president) Chris Christie is sure that vaccinations might be made by the of the Devil or at least a Communist plot or even created by the Gays!


He is an ophthalmologist by education, he says he is Board Certified, except the Board certifying him was a creation invented for him, by him so he wouldn’t have to really be judged on his educational merits by his peers. He loves to vacillate with the truth, and like Goldilocks, is never sure if the facts are too hot, too cold or somewhere in the middle. Pandering to the group to which he is speaking his facts roam around him like the Earth moves around the sun. He loves to propose theories hoping that if he says them loud enough or recites some obscure yet to be proven facts from some derelict expert, his dumber then dirt crowd will applaud his wisdom. Now he is sure that he not sure about the measles vaccine, not for the medical reasons, but because its all about freedom. Libertarians like Rand Paul insist that choices be made and never, ever, EVER worry about the consequences that may affect the community at large. Rand Paul is damn tooting sure vaccines deny freedom, except when he is directly approached with that statement. Of course like any dog with rabies Rand Paul never likes to be cornered and denies whatever it is he was so sure about when he said it.
