I seem to recall Jethro Bodine was also a brain surgeon.

I’m not having a conversation with you....I said that Carson wants to shut down the VA...I don’t agree with that...the Vets have to have somewhere to go...and sorry about your father, may he rest in peace, and thank you for your service...end of subject....

For those who remember the 2012 campaign, Carson is tacking very similar to Herman Cain. Like Carson, Cain surged in the polls and looked like a serious threat to take the nomination. However the more people learned about both of them, the quicker they fell out of favor.

Now Cain was done in by the bimbo eruptions but he was already beginning to fade when it became clear that he was very weak on policy issues, especially foreign policy.

Cain ended up suspending his campaign around December 3, 2011. I think Carson might last a little longer but not much past Iowa.

Hey, there was a time when I thought someone like Slick Willie could not become president. After the ‘08 and ‘12 elections anything can happen.

He must have been trained by Granny, she was always threatening to do a head transplant.
