Tablet gives RFK Jr. a bigger puff piece than Ryan Grim did for Williamson

Oh, boy, where to start with the hot mess of shit that David Samuels crapped out?

Before we get to the real nutbar stuff, let's note that,with the phrase "vaccine believers," Samuels himself walks, talks and quacks like an antivaxxer. And Dave Weigel, with a semi-puff-piece short Twitter thread about the interview, unless he explicitly disclaims it, thus becomes an antivaxxer fellow traveler.

Let's get to the meaty meat, though. First, of many pieces I've written about the JFK assassination — note, nutbars, I lived in the DFW Metroplex nearly a decade, have been to Dealey Plaza MANY a time, have been up to the sixth floor, etc. — let's briefly tackle the Camelot angle, since Tim Shorrock among others went down that road just a few years ago. As I blogged then, NSAM-263 is NOT a smoking gun. Or even close.

Now, part two of the "meat"? Sirhan Sirhan had opportunity, had access, had practiced hundreds of rounds with that pistol, and to his mind, had "good" reason after presumably seeing the pictures of Bobby wearing a yarmulke in an Oregon synagogue on Israel's independence day. I've got that and more all here.

The interview itself is funny at times where not craptacular. For example, Junior tries to explain away dad's involvement in Mongoose by saying he didn't like the CIA people behind it.

Update, May 20: Beyond all that, as Nathan J. Robinson notes, on other issues, like climate change and national health care, RFK Jr. is largely a nothingburger.
