He’s on a mission from God, to improve the politician brand.
So far, it’s been a mixed bag, but things have been looking up lately. All you have to do is watch the other candidates when they’re listening to him, and these days they just smile and smile, with the occasional stifled hoot and/or guffaw.
Note to Carson: Your teacher gave you $10 for showing up at a test retake hoax event sponsored by Yale’s “The Onion” not because you’re “the last honest
student”, but to buy a fucking clue.
Back in the day, Michael Dorn (aka Mr. Worf) was a hot dude. I haven’t seen him in years, but I bet he’s a good looking daddy. This painting makes Jesus look … not so hot. I’ve never seen any ‘Jesus’ who would float my boat – except, perhaps, for a few of the contestants in the Hunky Jesus Contest every Easter in Dolores Park in San Francisco. I could find religion for a day, but only a day.
OK, if this guy, Carson, isn’t a politician (by his own admission … amirite?) then why is he trying to gain a political office that by all accounts requires the occupant to be the consummate politician to be effective? In my mind it would be like trying to be the best most notable brain surgeon in the United States without so much as finishing high school.
A conservative would offer the rejoinder…“Well Ronald Reagan” was an actor before being President. That’s true BUT beginning in the 1950’s he became president of the Screen Actor’s Guild and got interested in politics. So he learned the craft. He got to know people in the political world…he learned from them. The he ran for Governor of California. And won. After that he tried to run for President and failed the 1st time out during the primary selection phase. Next time out he won. What I’m clumsily trying to say is he paid his dues and learned before attempting the big time. Carson, Trump, and Fiorina are all trying to skip that.
The clueless should not lead.
