This week's Big Boner award goes to Trump waterboy (and Florida governor) Ron DeSantis

Florida ordered 1M doses of a Trump-touted drug. Hospitals didn't want it.  (Politico, 6/11/2020)
Only 16,100 doses have been shipped to six hospitals as of Thursday, according to state records provided to POLITICO. The biggest batch — 7,500 — went to Baptist health in Duval County. The rest went to hospitals owned by Altamonte Springs-based AdventHealth.

And look where it has got him.  The largest number of cases in one week -- 7,775 from June 1-7.   Already up another 7,000 in the past 5 days (June 8-12)




DeSantis orders 1 million doses of controversial anti-malaria drug before nearing coronavirus peak.  (Fox 13 Tampa Bay, 4/8/2020)

"Before nearing coronavirus peak"?  That was 66 days ago.

GET ME REWRITE: Larry Kudlow's hazy crystal ball (part 2)



Quoted in Kudlow Assures Wall Street ‘No Second Spike,’ As Coronavirus Numbers Continues To Grow.  (Forbes, 6/12/2020)


4/7/2020 update starts here


Reported in Virus Battle Shreds the Right's Political Playbook.  (The New York Times, 4/5/2020)

Care to reconsider, Larry?


Original 3/9/2020 post, "Channeling Bloody Mary:  White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on the Coronavirus", starts here.


Quoted in ‘Doomed from the Start.’ Experts Say the Trump Administration’s Coronavirus Response Was Never Going to Work.  (Time, 3/5/2020)


.
Kudlow doesn't have the best track record.
Kudlow became Economics Editor at National Review Online (NRO) in May 2001. In December 2007, NRO published a Kudlow article entitled Bush Boom Continues, in which he asserted the economy would continue to expand for years to come.The Great Recession, the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, began that month.

GET ME REWRITE: Robin Vos blows on his racist dog whistle, ears perk up "west of the I" in Racine County



Quoted in In secret recording, Vos says immigrant 'culture' was to blame for COVID-19 outbreak in Racine County.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 6/11/2020)

The art of Wisconsin gerrymander

Vos wants nothing to do with the City of Racine, where the population is 22.8% African-American and 23.1% Hispanic or Latino.  Vos's district is 84% white.



About that 'immigrant culture'...

But aside from being the muckraking novel that led to the creation of the FDA or a socialist call to arms that went largely unheard, The Jungle is a story of how U.S. society exploits immigrants. This reading is often overlooked, yet it is worth remembering that sympathy for and solidarity with immigrants is at the heart of this seminal work of literature — especially amid the xenophobic atmosphere of the United States today, where the president has shut down the government over a border wall with Mexico, detention facilities hold untold numbers of immigrants, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stalk communities across the country. It’s been more than a century since the publication of The Jungle, yet the predation described by Sinclair still persists.

You could also say that Trump experienced a case of premature ejaculation

GOP hellbound train hurtles toward oblivion



Reported in Republicans fear Trump’s weakened standing jeopardizes the party in November.  (Washington Post, 6/10/2020)

"Hellbound Train" is the title cut from Savoy Brown's best-charting album.  It debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart in March 1972, where it remained for 21 weeks, peaking at #34.  AllMusic's reviewer gives it a 3-star (out of 5) rating, while 139 "user ratings" average out to a 4-star rating.  Retiring Guy's favorite cut is "Lost and Lonely Child".

Give it a listen.

Oregon's COVID-19 Spike Surprises, Despite Predictions Of Rising Caseloads.  (Oregon Public Broadcasting, 6/10/2020)
The state of Oregon saw a significant uptick in COVID-19 cases over the past weekend. The bump comes just days after Gov. Kate Brown to further relax business closures and social distancing measures under Phase 2 of reopening. 
State public health officials have not shied away from predictions that the number of people infected with novel coronavirus would go up once people started to interact in public spaces again. 
Still the case bump that counties have experienced has caught some off guard. 
“I think many of us felt that it was never really going to hit us here. So waking up yesterday and hearing the news about 124 cases at Pacific Seafood was a shock to many of us,” said Lincoln County health officer Dr. David Long during a press conference Monday.
