I mean, that’s no surprise to anybody who’s followed the Republican nomination process this year, and today’s offer of the nomination to Donald Trump — and his acceptance — would qualify the convention as full of shit if nothing else had happened. But… now the GOP convention is literally full of shit, due to an outbreak of Norovirus.
Plagues of locusts and toads tomorrow?

For this story to be any more karmically apt, it would turn into a new strain that actually lights people’s pants on fire, too.

Now they have shut coming out of both ends. If they can’t keep their delegates safe, how can they keep the country safe?

Dear Penguin Above, maybe just maybe, this will finally be enough to blow their heads out of their asses? Dare we hope?

Maybe it has worked already. Look at the background of this picture.

It would be more accurate to say they’re “empty” of shit, and anything else in their intestinal system, because it’s gonna be coming out in a hurry. I’ve had norovirus several times for sure (lab-test confirmed re: the disease agent during nursing home outbreaks while I was working in Florida) and it’s wicked. When the virus victims reach a critical mass, such as when +50% of the people in a nursing home have it, there can be enough viral particles in the air to spread it that way. I think that’s how I caught it during the SECOND time I got the bug at the same (rather good, although they did have a comatose resident who died from fire ant bites) in North Port, Florida. I wash my hands scrupulously, but still got infected x2.
I note that in the WaPoo story you linked to, the California delegation members who got it are staying in Sandusky, Ohio. That’s an hour’s drive west of Cleveland — inconvenient spot to be in if you’re attending the kkkonvention. Trivia bit — I used to work for a newspaper in Norwalk, Ohio, which is about 20 miles south of Sandusky. The name “norovirus” is short for Norwalk virus, because the virus that caused it was originally discovered following an outbreak in Norwalk, Connecticut. The other Norwalk sometimes acts as though IT was the origin of the name, such as a historical mural in the centre of town where “discovery of the Norwalk virus in 1968” features on a panel in the painting.
Let me add my hate-filled hopes that the virus spreads through the kkkon like an outbreak on a cruise ship. The California delegation is going to be hanging out at a water park at its hotel, according to the WaPoo. Fantastic way to propagate a gastrointestinal disease! And since Repiglickins don’t believe in this sciencey stuff — the “germ” theory of disease is a conspiracy being pushed by so-called “scientists” who want to get government grants to do “research studies” amitite? — why should THEY isolate themselves? Hand-washing is government tyranny! Taking steps to protect other people is nothing but political correctness! How P.C. ghey can you get, limiting your FREEDOM! to go on a water slide with diarrhoea dribbling out of your arse, merely to be considerate of other humans? Weak! Do it, Repugs — don’t hold back.
