Yeah, Life’s Tough

December 28, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

So, there’s an interview with Dr. Ben Carson in the Washington Post.  It was amazing.

First he blames his staff for his recent lagging in the polls.

The Post would report his remarks a couple of hours later. By nightfall, Carson had walked them back and expressed “100 percent confidence” in his staff.

benIn the November debate, Carson announced that the Chinese were in Syria. That claim left people, including the President, speechless.  Carson then claimed that his “sources” on Syria are better than the President’s.

Now Carson is singing a different lullaby.

As far as the China thing was concerned, I probably shouldn’t have said that. I said that on the basis of what some people in the CIA tell me. And of course, subsequent information came out that there is some Chinese [involvement in Syria].

No, no that has not come out.  And if people in the CIA are talking to Ben Carson, then we have a bigger problem than the Chinese in Syria. So, he’s going to have to walk this back, too.

Honey, if this man keeps having to walk things back,  he’s gonna end up with a full pail standing in the surf of the Gulf of Mexico.  But it’s be fun to watch, that’s for sure.

 

Be social and share!

    Mental Ben. While we make predictions for when the other members of the Klown Kar will drop out of the race, my money is on when Candy Carson has the butterfly net dropped on Ben.

  2. Carson said the year has been “brutal.” I’m sure it would be for someone who is used to people fawning over him like he was a god. And he touted his 67 honorary degrees. Apparently none of them were in the fields of political science or international relations. Or the correct pronunciation of “Hamas.”

  3. Sam in San Antonio says:

    The only way anyone at the CIA is going to talk to Carson is if he calls the receptionist at Langley to leave a message

  4. Somewhere among his neurological colleagues there has to be somebody willing and brave enough to examine his head!

  5. Jesus told him so…………

  6. So Mental Ben has thrown staff under the bus? And he namedrops the CIA as though a confidential source, if there is one, therein would out theirownself to make Mental Ben seem to lie less. S’not gonna happen, Mental. And Maggie then asks if one of his colleagues would mind checking Mental out cause he just ain’t right. Yeah I just betcha 2015 was “brutal” for Mental and 2016 isn’t looking any better. But Mental can always make it stop. Just close up shop and move to … wherever the heck he wants to move. Just out of the spotlight.

  7. Where are all the tinfoil hats when you need them?

    Carson meant the Cheneys are involved in Syria. Simple spelling error. Like sever or severe when talking brain surgery. No harm mistaking one word for another,is there?

  10. I think the pundit was right who said Ben never was in it for the presidency, but for building his brand recognition–so that he can earn lots more post campaign than he would have without it.

  11. Marcia in CO says:

    @LynnN … evidently all the tinfoil hats are in a different article on here.

    Tinfoil lined baseball caps are not going to help poor Ben … SMH

  12. Ben’s problem is that he’s not wearing the tinfoil hat. That’s how you get all that CIA info beamed directly into your brain or whatever you’re using as a brain.

  13. Apparently, the CIA is informing Ben on a need to know basis, but the President doesn’t need to know because….. he’s a Democrat and leader of the free world??????
    This guy sounds nuttier every time he opens his mouth. If this keeps up he’ll end up in a padded room, not the White House.

  14. I’m not going to lie. I’m as pleased as punch that Carson’s campaign seems to be circling the toilet bowl and on its way to the sewer. He thought he was “all that,” attacking the president at the prayer breakfast and beyond. Little did he know at the time that running for, and being, POTUS, was harder than he imagined it would be. What is happening to him reminds me of what my dearly departed parents used to say, “God don’t like ugly.” Although Carson will claim that God is guiding him, it appears to me that God’s hand is actually guiding Pres. Obama because in spite of all that GOP/TPers have flung at him, the president is still standing and has obtained some important achievements that are now a part of the historical record for all time.

  15. Mental Ben continues to point to his “honorary degrees”, as if they qualify him to govern the country.

    Remember when people liked the Shrub because he was as dumb as them? Now the same people like Mental Ben because they think he’s really smart. WTH? Maybe the issue isn’t the candidate’s intelligence, but the voters, especially those so generously referred to as “low information voters?” Let’s face it. It’s mostly “low IQ voters” who like those snacilbupeR candidates.

  16. what Dr. Carson neglected to mention is that, in this case, CIA stands for the “Culinary Institute of America”, an organization well known for its secret recipes.

  17. John Peter Henson says:

    I thought CIA was Carsons Intelligence Alliance….more mysterious than an agency….
