Damn, it’s really a crying shame that Carmen Miranda isn’t still alive. She would be the Chief Justice of Ben Carson’s hallucinogenic dreams:

JEB!? is probably sitting at home watching this, spitting out his vodka tonic and screaming, “Why wasn’t THIS motherfucker in the lead?!”
And, to comment on the Republican debate, Bugs, as always, said it best:
“And don’t think it hasn’t been a little slice of heaven - because it hasn’t!”

I have to admit that I kinda like this line. It’s a little weird, but it’s a good metaphor for the way most of our lives are randomly assembled out of cut-up bits of this and that.
Doesn’t make Carson qualified to be president, but at least I wouldn’t necessarily cross the street to avoid him the way I would with Cruz or Trump.

Fruit salad, word salad… the dude just likes salad, OK?
Yeah, in it’s own way it’s not a bad metaphor, but to have it pop up out of nowhere like that just sounds weird. I wonder if he used it before in one of his books.
Oh, I think the moderators saw the problem with Carson pretty clearly. That’s why he was pleading for someone to please attack him. Because the moderators were rightfully ignoring him. He has nothing to add to any of the discussions, beyond a pinch of completely out there nuttery. Like the fruit salad comment.
Those are just too pathetic for anyone else to even bother taking a swipe out. There is low hanging fruit, and there is fruit that has already fallen on the ground and rotted. That’s Carson.
And then, after he whined about not getting any time, he then used it to whine about being audited, and because the IRS audited him, they need to be eliminated. So there. Or something.

Getting beyond Benzo’s irrepressible weirdness for a minute, he might be on to something. Specifically, the next Justice’s associations should have nothing to do with secret hunting societies, country clubs, or other venues of cigar-and-scotch fueled world problem solving.
A conservative justice who behaved more like a referee and less like an offensive coordinator, would be a huge improvement.

Was he vaguely thinking of “salad days”?
For. The. Love. Of. God…
I tend to know mostly sentient people, even on the GOP side. And none of them, none, will say anything positive about any of the candidates and declare they’re going to sit out the election. So where in the hell are all these voters that support these candidates? I thinking that perhaps the low response rates on the polls on the GOP side are because so many of them aren’t going to vote at all. At least, I’m hoping that’s true.
Translation (after I quit laughing and caught my breath): He would probably put some fundamentalist flake on the court; someone cut from the same clothe as Michelle Bachmann or Ken Ham.
So he’s going to review their fruitcakeness?
OK, this getting a little pathetic.
If I were black, I would be angered and embarrassed by the GOP’s obvious exploitation of a man who is delusional.
it’s pretty bad when you need sarah palin to translate carson drivel.
