      Makes me think of that scene from Futurama where Fry’s brain slug dies due to lack of food, lol.

        I can’t remember, was that just a “Fry dumb” thing, or was it related to his incestuous bootstrap lack of delta brainwave?

          Fry dumb. You can pretend it’s more complicated if you want, but the joke is “Fry dumb”.

            Especially since the delta wave thing is also a “fry dumb” thing.

          I don’t think they ever said one way or the other. I just remember H̶e̶r̶m̶e̶s̶ Farnsworth says something like, “The poor little guy starved to death.”

          Edit: made a correction

    Well, that’s reassuring. I’ll be sure to vote for the guy who had his brain eaten by a worm. That’s the best qualification you can get.

    When this hit Morning Joe on my morning drive into work, I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much.

    What. The. Fuck.

    it ate a portion of his brain

    Seriously. What the fuck is this time-line?

        The quote is hilarious

        Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

        Just the way he said it makes it sound like eating his brain killed the worm…

        Also, this was from a divorce testimony in 2012 about a past event.

        It’s not a new development, he’s been like this over a decade.

    “I’d quite like this parasite removed before it kills me” the worm was heard saying.

      The worm died over a decade ago…

      And Kennedy seems to think the cause of death was eating his brain

      Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

        That’s just a sequence of events. “I stood up and then my car alarm went off” doesn’t mean those events are linked. The worm probably just doesn’t live that long or something.

        There are myriad things we can point to to mock these people but showing off our poor reading comprehension isn’t going to help.

    Of course the worm was dead. Reason of death: starvation.

      If you compare him to Trump, which one would you choose?

        Neither, because he is not a serious candidate.

        Would you prefer me or Trump? Trump is a worthless pile of crap and I’m not on enough ballots to get elected, plus my whole platform is about getting public transportation going everywhere so that everyone who wants to can get drunk at work and still be safe getting home.
