I saw a handsome parish lady
Make her entrance like a queen
Why she was totally chenille
And her old man was a Marine
As she abused a sausage pattie
And said why don’t you treat me mean?
(Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, oooooh!)

Please clap.

Ben - You’ve served your purpose. Your early supporters backed you so they could prove they weren’t racist. Now that they have proved that, you’ve been discarded. Just like the token invited to join the country club so that when the PGA Tour did an inspection, the club could say “We don’t discriminate.” Once the tour inspection is over, you don’t get invited to any function at the club.

That was just sad. And I’ve seen reports in the last couple days that the money for Mental Ben’s vanity campaign is nearly all gone and no more is to be had. I’m predicting one way or another, his candidacy will become a Jeopardy question in 5-10 years time, with him likely dropping out after Super Tuesday.

Nothing that happens on their side surprises me, anymore. I’m almost numb.

I thought I had something to say. But what he actually said is far funnier than anything I can say to make fun of it.

This immediately reminded me of his “the only honest student in class” story. He never understand, even forty years later, that he didn’t win a prize. He was the butt of the joke, and he was so pathetic that the prankster didn’t have the heart to burst his bubble and reveal the prank. That’s exactly what’s happening here.

TPM:

“Can someone attack me please?” the retired neurosurgeon asked to laughter from the crowd.

Aw, it’s no fun when they ask for it.

What a dipshit.

Hey, wait, look at that. It is still fun to attack him!

O Ben, I wish I were there in person to grant your wish.

Oops.

Why so much hilarity? Are there actually some real Republicans left out there?

I don’t have the heart to tell the guy that, when God told him to run for President, God was making fun of him, too.

Still, every time I think I might feel sorry for him, I remind myself of the small donations his vanity scam has been bilking people out of and the Trump-like gall which enables him to insult Obama’s intelligence and character for profit.

I still can’t believe he didn’t drop out after either South Carolina or Nevada. He’s the “Jim Gilmore after Iowa” of the race, at this point.
