Robert F. Kennedy Jr. press dinner explodes in war of words and farting

Camelot it ain’t.

Page Six regrets to report that a press dinner to boost Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign descended into a foul bout of screaming and polemic farting Tuesday night.

The White House hopeful attended the affair at Tony’s on the Upper East Side, no doubt hoping to impress on the ladies and gentlemen of the Fourth Estate his worthiness to sit at the very same Oval Office desk once occupied by his late uncle.

But a shouting match over climate change broke out between two boisterous old men, sending the evening down an extremely unfortunate path. ...

Dechert continued to scream wildly about the climate change “scam” while Haden-Guest peppered him with verbal volleys from across the table, calling him variously “f–king insane” and “insignificant.”

Meanwhile, Kennedy, a prospective president of the United States, watched calmly.

Here, it seems, Dechert sensed the need for a new rhetorical tack, and let rip a loud, prolonged fart while yelling, as if to underscore his point, “I’m farting!”

The room, which included a handful of journalists as well as Kennedy’s campaign manager, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich, was stunned, seemingly unsure about whether Dechert was farting at Haden-Guest personally or at the very notion of global warming.  ...

It would be nice to have serious candidates that face the issues seriously. What a joke the 2024 election is already starting to be.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I think the only way to pick a candidate these days is either a cage match or a farting competition. Okay, maybe a belching competition. Whichever one can belch out the entire alphabet wins.

My guess is that most of them were obnoxiously drunk. Talk about a clown show.

Thank you, I needed a laugh and this line provided it.

I wonder if it would be possible to teach a decent political course just using Monty Python movies as your materials.

I'll bet it would.

The only surprising thing about this is that Page Six considers it worth the cost of newsprint.
