Help me, Lord. Jesus, please. Jesus, God! Help me, Lord, I’m falling down the steps!
He’s so full of shit. He doesn’t care about the truth. He doesn’t even have a casual relationship with the truth. He appears to be a pathological liar when confronted with the truth. Of course, his supporters do not care and neither does his “campaign” because it’s all a scam to raise money.
Carson: “[Armstrong Williams] has nothing to do with the campaign.”
Except for reviewing press pieces.
And acting as spokesperson.
For the campaign.
But other than that, he has nothing to do with the campaign.
Wait, I feel like I missed something. What did Williams do that caused Carson to distance himself from him? Williams always came across as slimy to me but he seemed to be the best spokesman Carson had at making him sound less crazy.
I had to look this up but Carson DOES have an actual “campaign manager” – Barry Bennett, who has headed up super PACs for Liz Cheney and Rick Perry.
Post. Of. The. Day!
reminder to self, do not scroll through the comment section of a liberal leaning website while sipping water. the comments are witty, snarky, and effin hilarious.
FYI - I miss Aaron McGruder
A sick man, and anyone associating with him should expect nothing.
America will be distancing itself from Uncle Ben.
But not, entirely, for me.
My wife is boricua and caribenas love rice.
I’m surprised he’s managed to stay out of the big house, and people act like he’s just a straight up dude.
Like sands through the hourglass… or really, more like turds circling the bowl.
Out there on that raft all alone now Ben.
In what way is FART POWDER a “medical supplement”?
I realize TPM’s effort is towards diplomacy and understatement concerning matters arguing tangential to the thrust of the story, but putting it THAT way comes perilously close to casting quackery as legitimate medicine.
Crikey, EVEN GREG ABBOT went after them, issuing this statement to the public after the company and several officers agreed to fines:
“Bottom line, this is a warning to the general public: Be wary of phony claims of magic cure-all pills or false hope in a bottle. You could be duped into purchasing something that has no real effect and no real value.”
That wasn’t any abstraction: he said it POINTEDLY about Mannetech’s product line. Abbot went on to say:
“If they do it again, we will ensure they get put out of business.”
Carson, more than once, has credited Mannetech’s “dietary supplement”, which the company describes as a “glyconutrient”, with actually CURING him of prostate cancer; but Carson’s a fabulist quack in a political clown car contest, not a legitimate news commentary website.
Even if you were to dignify Mannetech’s FART POWDER by calling it a “glyconutrient”, WTF is THAT? If you go to Wikipedia and enter that word, the site immediately redirects you to Mannetech. If you just GOOGLE the word, the first items that pop up are all - ALL OF THEM - about how it’s a total scam, basically produced by processing human-indigestible plant fibers and saccharides - into a slurry and reducing that mess into a power form. A cow, with its four stomachs, might be able to get SOMETHING out of it … like use some of it in her natural fermenting of plants and otherwise off-load it with the incidental methane. But a human is equipped with only one (1) stomach, which is unable to break down the plant fibers so just sends some of the saccharide content into isolation - fat storage, never to be used - and otherwise sends the rest of the mess down the usual chute (but with extra explosive power).
So it’s, at best, defective cow feed. Referring to as a “medical supplement” is worse than merely wrong.
Armstrong Williams: “Jeeeeesuz’ on a cracker! Ben… I told you to stay out of crazy town. The damned pyramids as grain silos??? What the fuk was that? Your Urkel-ass as a thug who found Jesus? Tryin’ to hit your Mama’ on the head with a hammer! God Almighty! I could just slap the sht outta’ you…then we could put you in a matchbox and toss it!”
Someone’s lying. And I think we know who it is.
Wow, the more we quote the more Carson and the rest of the GOP sound exactly like a comedy skit.
Official name change for the GOP to the Silly Party!
Ben’s pretty much. Most folks can live with warehousing grain in the pyramids comment but the image of Ben chasing dear old mom around the kitchen with a hammer ain’t gonna do it.
Holding two discordant thoughts/images in the brain (chasing mom with hammer & POTUS) at the same time may cause even the cows on the Evangelical Farm in Iowa to change their minds.
There may not be enough space in this world for Carson, Williams and Clarridge to run as far away from each other as they can.
Next scandal? A paternity issue
Armstrong’s wife must be very upset…
“Clarridge is not one of my advisors. He merely sits in on meetings and gives his opinion on various topics.”
Oh. Glad we cleared that up.
