Discussion: Carson's 'Oreo' Wisecrack Got Some Laughs, But Katie Porter Is Having None Of It

And we all agree with you. In fact, we knew this back in his campaign. We knew this back at his confirmation hearing. We knew it and it was loudly derided that we didn’t know what we were talking about and of course he was confirmed by the GOP.

So a lot of good it did, us knowing it.

Later in the “Morning Joe” interview Wednesday, Porter said flat-out that she does not believe Carson should be in the position of HUD secretary. Does anybody???

I think Ms. Porter could be a helluva VP candidate.

While Oreo cookies are like heroin to me (can’t keep a bag in the house for more than 30 hours…maybe) - I recall more pejorative use of Oreo that, ironically fits Mr. Carson to a T.
Also too, is he the person who has single-handedly removed the term “brain surgeon” as a metaphor for intelligence? At least we still have “rocket scientist”.

Watching Carson testify has me wondering if he pops a 'lude with every meal.

I think so, too. In fact if we have a male nominee (either Biden or my dark horse favorite, Jay Inslee), he will almost 100 percent certainly choose a female running mate, but might go outside the box of current candidates. My top choices would be Porter and Tammy Duckworth.

Katie Porter is a top, top addition to the Dem caucus. A real star.

Ben is just another clown in the Trump clown car and not one of them is fun to watch.

Jeesh, where do I begin? One way the media normalizes Trump is to pretty much hide the fact that his cabinet appointees are the swamp he claimed to want to drain. Trump rode in on lies and consistently the cable news talking heads portray him as kinda sorta normal. This needs to stop. Calling out Carson, Devos and all the other cabinet creatures as wasteful incompetents that are enriching themselves and not doing their job should be one of the main stories in today’s journalism and it simply is not.

Mississippi was afraid they were losing too much ground to Alabama in their race to the bottom.
