Florida’s Junior Senator likely won’t be staring at the sky during Monday’s solar eclipse.
Sen. Rick Scott, during an appearance on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton“ show, said he’d be “very cautious” about staring skyward during the event Monday.
The Senator from Naples framed his approach as one of long-term thinking and self-preservation.
“I want my eyesight. The way I look at life, I’ve got a lot of stuff left to do. So I’ve got to take care of myself.”
Presumably, Scott won’t be at various solar eclipse viewing parties in the DMV spotlighted by D.C.’s WJLA, including the Smithsonian Solar Eclipse Family Day, the Smithsonian’s Solar Eclipse Festival on the National Mall, or the American University Eclipse Quad Watch Party.
Another D.C. station, Fox 5, notes that while the eclipse is expected to cover 87% of the sun at its peak in the Nation’s Capital, clouds from a “decaying cold front” may mar the viewers’ experience. But regardless, Scott isn’t missing much.
He also isn’t anticipating giving staffers the afternoon off to marvel at the sky.
“I think it’s important to show up to work,” he said.
For what it’s worth, sky watchers in Scott’s hometown will have a better view than those in D.C., reports the Naples Daily News.
The only obstruction anticipated is from “passing upper-level clouds.”

Translation: Rick has a lot more damage to do to the lives and quality of life of average citizens. And, more money needs to be shifted to the pockets of the yachting and jetting class from taxpayers
There’s never enough for the greedy.

And any stupid unscientific statement that he blubbers, it’s reported, as some give a “Oh, yeah” to it, while others feel disgusted at the absurdity. Very Trumpspeakish in his gibberish, Ricky is becoming..

Is that you Rebekah Jones the fake scientist that was embraced by Nikki Fried and the liberal media
during Covid only to be dropped like a hot potato once they all found out she was a phony.

Uncle Fester will take advantage of the momentary darkness to hoodwink and bamboozle Americans, maybe even go after social security. Yes, IB “read his plan, it’s in (the) plan.”

Very low wattage and small, such as one might require for a keychain with a flashlight attachment.

How Ya doing my Besty Lefty OJ,
I told Rick to run all his press releases thru me for approval prior to “Squeezing Them Out”. But did he listen to Earl? No he was all like “I’m Rick and dont need Earl”.
Anyway what can I do? ….. I offered to help Rick.
Thank you Besty OJ

Oh of COURSE Ricky has to be worried about staring into the Sun. He’s among the Undead, and would be reduced to putty in sunlight.
C’mon, SUNLIGHT!!!

First, there was the nanny state. And, now with Scott, we have the Grand Nanny state (to protect and nurture us as he fleeces our pockets.)
