Thank you for the gift article — I saw the headline earlier & was curious.
“Bob” likely embellished the debilitating effects of his prior health issues to get out of paying his soon to be ex-spouse alimony. That said he didn’t want the word of these issues to get out since he didn’t volunteer them. The brain worm is massive click-bait, but I find the history of A-fib & mercury poisoning more troubling.
I wasn’t considering voting for him anyway— like most of the Kennedy’s, I consider him a pretender trying to take advantage of his revered patronymic. Hence the nickname “Bob” (a Dworkin invention) rather than his father’s famous initials.
