Darwin’s Ladder Brigade (02)

From time to time Darwin comes across a category of genome chlorination that is unto itself and  most worthy of special recognition.  It has to ‘rise above’ the crowd.  It has to be even more strikingly stupid than Rachael Maddow’s scoop showing Donald Trump paid $38 Million in taxes thus earning her Geraldo Rivera’s “Al Capone’s Vault Award.”   Her special category is – Darwin’s Ladder Brigade.

From Western Journalism, “Geraldo: Maddow’s ‘Reveal’ Of Trump’s Taxes Is Today’s Version Of Al Capone’s Vault.

More than 30 years after his much-hyped TV event turned out to be literally nothing more than a cloud of dust, Geraldo Rivera gladly handed MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow the mantle of Al Capone’s vault Wednesday following her own much-hyped revelation of President Trump’s tax returns.

The revelation turned out to be only two pages from Donald Trump’s 2005 returns indicating he paid $38 million in total taxes.

That amounted to a 25 percent tax rate, higher than the 18.7 percent paid by former President Obama in 2015.
