I distinctly recall Al Franken raking her over the coals.
This was almost too painful to watch; Ben-I-need-a-brain-transplant-Carson sounded like he was on a heavy dose of Thorazine. Just wondering if someone had to lead him to his chair while doing the Thorazine-Shuffle?
She is brilliant and so damn professional.
His response is so sexist and oh so stupid
Same goes for OREOs
Thanks Katie for your excellence!
Oh Em Gee.
It is his job to direct the various agencies in his department. If he doesnât get âin the weedsâ with details how on earth is he going to direct policy?
He doesnât understand his job and itâs clear he has no interest in doing so. His condescension towards Porter is palpable.
I got news for ya Ben - you are not the smartest guy in that room, not by a long shot.
Dr. Ben is smart-stupid. An expert in his particular field (surgery) he is an idiot outside of this area:
âŚAs a surgeon, I find Ben Carson particularly troubling. By pretty most reports, he was a skilled neurosurgeon who practiced for three decades, rising to the chief of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins. Yet, when he ventures out of the field of neurosurgeryâeven out of his own medical specialtyâhe routinely lays down some of the dumbest howlers Iâve ever heard.
Toward the end of the conversation, Carson said that heâd be happy for her to work with people at HUD on her questions. She brushed him off, saying sheâd already done that in her past job, and that her job now is to ask him questions.
Translation: âIâm too stupid and openly lazy to know or care about the rudiments of my job. To show you how much I donât give a shit, just talk to my staff. I canât be bothered.â
These guys are figureheads, know nothing and pocketing salary. And all sit in front Congress with outright disrespect and dismissal. Need to boot them out and fumigate offices they occupy.
Those were great! Who knew how many oreos were online?
It is sad when the congress person asking the questions knows more than the administrationâs âexpertâ witness. Sad but with this administration pretty common.
Hearings of all Red Don administration members should start with asking them if they know what FUBAR is?
Dr. Ben Casey was a great doctor on TV, thankfully, well at least not yet he was not confused with Benghazi.
Been watching the series Chernobyl on HBO. The parallels that occur in totalitarian societies are chilling. The exchange in Ep 2 between a female nuclear physicist and a high ranking party member who used to work on the line in a shoe factory, for example. Heâs in charge though heâs dumb as shit. Everyone in Trumpland is worse than that guy.
Iâd like to see her president before I die.
âYou know, if you only hung out in the break room and drank coffee all day, youâd pick up some of the lingo in two years.â
you clearly do not understand ben carsonâs mandatory nap protocol. but yeah, he does seem blithely unaware.
But it would be only half-baked.
Given Carsonâs complete lack of curiosity about what his department does it makes you wonder if it took him three times to figure out which end of a scalpel does what.
Imagine having him do brain surgery on someone, or any living creature for that matter. Heâs adrift, no doubt about it.
âWould you please welcome The Oreosâ
