RFK wants a job in the Harris administration. No, really.

WaPo reports that RFKJr contacted the Harris campaign about horse trading an endorsement for a cabinet position. Hmmm. One, well two, little problems come to mind:
  • At this point, best estimates of Harris's experts likely show that RFK takes more votes from Trump than Harris, so his endorsement might not be worth much if anything at all;
  • Face it, folks. RFKJr is nutso-butso. That's a technical term referring to a tendency towards hopelessly insane and self-contradictory behavior and utterances in unpredictable circumstances. (A condition he shares with Trump, although the etiology and manifestations of their respective disorders are somewhat different). Harris has too much integrity to put such a man in charge of any responsible position. Maybe with a minder and an understanding with the host government he could be made ambassador to Bhutan. I think they wouldn't mind (they're very accommodating), and it would at least keep him out of trouble. 
The report includes the statement that there was no meeting. I imagine the message sent was on the order of "You're kidding, right?"

It's really very sad. Before the brainworm ate significant parts of his frontal and temporal lobes (at a guess), Kennedy was actually a smart and dedicated environmental lawyer and activist. One must wonder and lament at how the mighty have fallen.
