No-----that comparison is way too favorable to Ole’ Ben. Chauncey Gardiner’s talk may have been empty, but he was genuinely innocent and honest. And if you remember he walked on water at the end of the movie. I think Carson imagines that might be something in his future as well.

Judging from the article, Clarridge should have been smacked with the Espionage Act ages ago

Who wants a President that basically crams before interviews or debates? Carson doesn’t actually know shit, he’s just going with the hopes that his short term memory will hold on long enough for him to squeak by.
He’s a C student at best.
It’s a fact, after 72 hours, most of that shit is forgotten.

Three, really. Maybe Jindal shouldn’t count, because he was never in on the prank.

The entire Bush Crime Family was up to its noses in Iran-Contra.

Looks like Thurston dumped Lovey, escaped from Gilligan’s Island and went into dirty politics.

Wasn’t Clarridge also a Doonesbury character? I’m serious. . .
It’s astonishing that so many of these Iran-Contra figures continue to haunt us 30 years later. Ollie North, Elliot Abrams etc. plus this fellow on think tanks and political campaigns as well as Jeb! Contra support as a private citizen real estate investor in Miami. Apparently there are no limits when it comes to failure when it comes to these folks or as others put it, falling up.

Add to that who is the current president of Nicaragua? None other than Daniel Ortega the Sandinista president who we tried to overthrow back in the 80’s and was voted out of office in 1990.

So is this the guy telling Carson that the Chinese have troops in Syria?
Aarrggghhh! Don’t ruin my childhood memories, please. Plus, everyone knows that Thurston Howell, III and Lovey Howell were rescued 15 years after the Minnow washed ashore on that deserted little island (which, btw, amazingly grew exponentially every now and again to fit the storyline, but hey …). Mr. and Mrs. Howell were rescued, along with their five friends, after a tsunami washed over the island and the castaways tied their huts together with hemp to create a floating raft (which they could have easily done all those years back – if you’ll remember during the first five or so episodes, when they finally decided to build a communal hut to start with, a storm wreaked havoc and washed the little hut out into the lagoon – and even as a little kid, I thought, "Hey, just keep the floating hut, fill it with provisions and paddle your asses out to sea in the direction of Hawaii! But, again, hey …).

His mere presence as a counselor to Carson is more evidence that the foreign policy neophyte has surrounded himself with an off-beat cadre of advisers.
That was diplomatically put.
Ben Carson Foreign Policy Advisor: Nazi Mass Murderer
Donald Trump Foreign Policy Advisor: Pundits on Tv.
You decide.
Wow, given this guy’s pedigree, did Carson get him for a bargain rate? This tells us even more about Ben Carson’s unsuitability for high office, and to ever be trusted to use anything but a Swiss Army knife on a piece of salami… I am convinced he practiced brain surgery on himself in med school…
No this is the CIA agent who was running the source of the China nonsense as an operative. What’s more he was pardoned mid-trial by Bush I and now he has repaid the Bush crime family for that pardon by sabotaging Ben the Blade.
There is a Turing Test variant going on here. How do you identify a prank candidate?
