"He hurt people he was trying to help"

I am ready to leave the love and kindness and goodness and patience that I mix with everything else that I am and become a cold blooded killer,” Christopher Duntsch wrote.
To authorities, the chilling Dec. 11, 2011, email points to Duntsch’s mind-set in the months before he “intentionally, knowingly and recklessly” botched spinal surgeries, severely injuring four people and killing one woman, Floella Brown, who died in July 2012.
The email was among new evidence Dallas County prosecutors presented against Duntsch at a hearing Friday in which Criminal District Judge Carter Thompson refused to reduce Duntsch’s $600,000 bail...
Duntsch “knowingly takes actions that place the patients’ lives at risk,” police said, such as causing extreme blood loss by cutting a major vein and then not taking proper steps to correct it. In one case, Duntsch left a surgical sponge inside a man's body. During that same surgery, another doctor forced him to stop operating because of his “unacceptable surgical technique,” the affidavit said.
Yikes.

What a terrible story.

Have you seen Drudge's picture of the Clintons? Man, they look really old.

How awful. The last person in the world that you would be suspicious of, your surgeon. One of those world-gone-crazy stories that seems to be infesting the news lately. End of August stories. Spiders taking over Argentina. Toddler stabs mom. China building islands. Ketchup pancakes. Photo of Putin. Chaos. Worlds in collision. Day is become night. Running with scissors. Hillary on the beach in the Hamptons in the same blue muu-muu that in no way disguises her ungainly bulk alongside her cadaverous lecherous husband. Like Jack Sprat and Wife though signs do point to them not getting to lick the platter clean again. So there's that.

Also, metaphor alert.

So, Warren/Biden? Fauxcahontas and D'ohcahontas.
And who's going to take lead? That should be interesting.
The left is going to line up behind some other appalling, nasty, hypocritical old fart combo platter and these two are next in line to the throne.

I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats organize a Jim Webb for president drive. He's a former Senator from Virginia and Secretary of the Navy (I think). Anyway, he's normal, at least in appearance and he's got the true patriot credits. He'd be a way for the Marxist Party to disguise itself again, just as it did with that "centrist," Bubba. In other words a plausible frontman.

The DNC isn't programmed for anything to the right of King Putt anymore. This is supposed to be his third term after all. Can't mess that up by letting some gun lovin pseudo-wing nut wield power. NOKD. Realistically, Webb has some token for-show rightish positions but when push comes to shove he will toe the progressive line just like they all do. Lockstep pets. They won't trust him to redistribute Korrectly, though. My bet is it'll be Faux and/or D'oh.
