Actual Headline in The New York Times: ‘R.F.K. Jr. Admits He Left a Dead Bear in Central Park’

I knew RFK Jr. was nuts but I had no idea this nuts. You really ought to watch Kennedy’s own video, which, I swear, costars Roseanne Barr. That’s his side of the story, for chrissake. Jiminy.

But. This whole thing — to wit, that it was this shithead RFK Jr. who did this a decade ago, and that it’s coming out 93 days before an election in which he’s a possible Nader-esque siphon-off-some-votes-from-the-fellow-nutjobs spoiler — might be the funniest story ever.
