I wonder if there’s much of a difference between the doofus – yeah, doofus – named Sam Zell, (the foul-mouthed troll who used to own the Chicago Tribune, now re-branded as TRONC), and the other doofus running as the Republican Presidential candidate?

Years ago, doofus #1, (that would be Zell), concluded a rather incoherent – and long-winded – answer to an employee’s question with an emphatic “F*CK YOU!” directed at said employee, all of which was caught on video tape.

Sad. Expected. Still Sad.

Fast forward and – presto, bango – we’ve got doofus #2 spouting equally-absurd statements while in pursuit of the highest elected office in the nation.

Sad. Very. Sad. Very. Very. Scary. Very. Sad.

Nah, doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between ’em. Both are pathetic creatures. Both are capable of world-class levels of incoherence when speaking in public. …and it’s possible both have VIAGRA® prescriptions – yikes!

Special thanks to John Oliver for his August 5th episode on journalism – carry on sir, carry on! You did a much better job of eviscerating another doofus, (Michael Ferro), and his feeble attempts with this ridiculous re-branding effort than I ever could…
