Uh, “spine” and “backbone”? Did they also mention “bat-shit crazy”? Or would they even notice?

“Recruited” the same way he was offered a free scholarship to West Point, no doubt.
Ben, it’s time to step out and off the Holodeck - for your own sake.

I’m at a loss. Im trying to picture Ben Carson as Speaker, and I just can’t see it. We’d be going from Weepy to Sleepy.

He heard voices in his head, in the house, over a speaker, in his head.

Mustn’t one be a member of the House prior to being considered for the position of Speaker of the House? Anyone?

Actually, no - it is firmly established that non-members ARE eligible.

Hardy har, har!
Yeah, let the gop/bag congress select a non-elected guy to be their speaker of the house.
Sure!

I think what really happened was that someone once invited Carson to their house to speak to him.

Thank you. I don’t know why I don’t remember that … but, then again, there are many things I don’t remember anymore (decrepit now, in gayboy years).

Oddly enough, you do not need to be a Member of the HoR to be speaker. I have no idea why this is true, but it is. Seems very odd to me. The truth of this claim was verified by a member of the HoR.

Well, in that sense, I am considered Speaker of the Apartment. In my apartment, I speak. Sometimes, I yell, cuss and sing (poorly, but that’s another story).

Ooo did you see that stinging shot at Rubio? Is Ben growing one tiny ball?

Thanks, NickDanger. It makes no sense to me either, but you and I aren’t congress critters. I think I may delve into this, see how it came about.
What happened here is most likely That Ben had a conversation with one or two house members, and the subject came up in context with other possibilities. They probably said, “Hey, YOU could even do it! Haha!”
Just like with West Point, where someone evidently told him to apply to the Academy and even might have said he would be a shoo-in; Ben turned that into a full-fledged offer. He hasn’t gotten nearly the flack he should have for that outright lie.
This guy is so weird and dense that I still can’t believe he accomplished anything in his life except grifting, which he is definitely good at.

As a Democrat with a wicked sense of humor, I am so disappointed this did not come to pass.
I keep thinking of that famous line spoken by Franz (Kenneth Mars) Liebkind in Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”:
“Oh, joy of joys! Oh, dream of dreams!”
