Discussion: Ben Carson Distances Himself From Staffer Armstrong Williams

Discussion for article #243032

Armstrong demanded a 10% cut of the grift. Buh-bye.

But Carson is still as close as ever to Alfonso Costa.

I would like to reveal my new Cabinet, who you should be able to guess at despite the bags on their heads because I’m not entirely sold on their inclusion in the group.

It reminds me of the Eddie Murphy skit about his Aunt Bunny falling down the steps… “I’M HALFWAY DOWN NOW!”

LOL! Awww, Doctor, it doesn’t work that way! Armstrong Williams owns your sorry ass, dude – remember all those papers you’ve been signing over the many years Williams has been your “business manager?” Yeah … those. LOL!

Yale University, University of Michigan Medical School, and Johns Hopkins Hospital should be distancing themselves from Ben Carson

Well sure, because It’s not an actual presidential campaign.

Google Armstrong Williams (or Wiki). He has his own sordid history, but it seems to go well with Dr. Carson and his affinity for such grifters. I wish some enterprising journalist would really delve into this relationship as well as Carson’s relationship with Acosta. I am nearly certain there is a great story there just waiting to be told.

I guess Armstrong was too sane.

He can pretty much be ignored from now on except when he makes an unintentionally funny statement.

Hello True Grits. I am always happy to see you here. I agree there must be a great story to be told but our media is too lazy

President Carson:
“Him? He’s not my Vice-President, I talk to him in the cafeteria occasionally though. And that guy, my Defense Secretary? Ha, he brings me my breakfast in the morning!! Where the hell do all these rumors get started?!?!”

“Carson told reporters that his main adviser on national security issues is Robert Dees, a retired general who has said that the U.S. has been “infiltrated” by Muslim extremists and that the Common Core educational standards are a threat to national security.”

Whew! For a second there I thought Carson would not turn to a really sane guy for foreign policy advice.

I still think Pataki will be the next one to quit.

“Armstrong is an independent agent,” Carson said, according to the Washington Post. “He happens to be a friend of mine. He has nothing to do with the campaign.”

Yet when asked who edited his recent op-ed in the Washington Post, Carson said Williams had read it over, according to the Post.

Ben Carson goes to the Doctor. The Doctor says to Carson: “I have terrible news for you. You have cancer, and you have Alzheimer’s.” Carson replies: “Well, at least I don’t have cancer.”
