“You have to admit to some degree that it did work. A lot of people believed him.”

…WHA’ THE !!!..

Calling Me A Child Molester ‘Did Work’

But what the hey, I’ll still endorse him… party before country

This is not commonly understood. People think that doctors are geniuses. For the most part, a medical education rewards those who are very good at memorizing vast quantities of arcane information. That’s not the same thing as “intelligence.”

And neurosurgery is a good profession for someone with steady hands, and, probably more important, the ability to shut off the “oh my god, if I slip up I’m going to kill this poor SOB” reaction that most of us would experience.

Whereas the flaw in the Rubiot2016 prototype was too much repetition, thus leading to a failed Turing Test, the flaw in the Carsonator is too much randomness, so it fails the same test, but in a different way.

It’s not hard to accept when you realize all of Carson’s patients were Republicans.

Until I read this piece, I thought he meant that Trump calling him a child molester did work for him to endorse him and whore himself up to him by accepting a position.

Now, then, back to the main topic: WTF’s wrong with this guy?

‘I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.’

Uh, it’s too late now, Ben.

Questions: Does Ben Carson move his lips when he watches television and is he distracted by shiny objects?

Carson has no credibility on any issue.

Revelation: Ben Carson is working on the TPM comment problem!!

To be fair, Ben, anyone with the critical thinking of a simpleton would be taken in by Trump’s schtick; and so they believe every lie he tells them. This from fivethirtyeight’s David Wasserman illustrates the Trump supporters’ depth of ignorance:

“If Donald Trump somehow falls three delegates short of reaching the magic 1,237 delegates needed for the Republican nomination, he may be haunted by an obscure outcome from the primary voting in Illinois on Tuesday. There’s clear evidence that Trump supporters in Illinois gave fewer votes to Trump-pledged delegate candidates who have minority or foreign-sounding names like “Sadiq,” “Fakroddin” and “Uribe,” potentially costing him three of the state’s 69 delegates.” The article continued that no other candidate’s delegates were lost because foreign sounding named delegates got fewer votes.

So absolute poetic justice would be Trump losing the nomination by three delegates because of his followers’ and his own racism.

Is it just me or do others think that what Carson is saying just insane? I am so confused… I have known drug addicts that made more sense… I really mean it. No, kidding!

Being called a violent psychopath and a child molester is for normal human adults something roughly 99.99% of us would find deeply objectionable and unforgivably insulting.

For Ben Carson it’s like when he lost two of his teeth while eating grits. “Oh, so I guess that happened. Huh.”

There is something seriously wrong with the man’s emotional affect, and apparently also with his cognition. My guess is some kind of dementia, maybe prion based, maybe something else. But normal, mentally healthy people do not act or talk like he does.

Oh the irony for a neurosurgeon.

I just tend to think he’s writing his own scrips and seeing life as a gas.

Why would TPM print something this stupid?

The Dr. has been writing himself too many prescriptions.
