D.B. of the Week - Ben Carson

Sorry I gotta' do it.

First Ben explained that he would've rushed the gunman in Oregon.

Sure.

We all like to think that we'd be a hero, but think what the families of the people who died think of a comment like that.

People died!

You make their memory a little less by saying they weren't brave enough in a situation where a madman wearing a vest and armed to the teeth shoots them to death?

That was bad enough to earn Carson the old D.B. of the Week honors...

...but then I heard something about what he said about those buried when a volcano erupted.

He would've outran the lava instead of being buried.

Did he really actually say that?

Did he think that people, in that situation, just stood there and allowed themselves to be buried?

Now I don't know if any of this is true.

I read the quotes.

I didn't actually see the words come out of Carson's mouth.

In this day and age there are sometimes words put into the mouths of the men and women who are running for president.

But the above two items seemed as if they were actually said by Carson!

It begs a couple of questions:

1). Seriously?

Is Carson trying to say weird things to take some of the bloom off of Trump's flower?

Have we reached the stage where we decide to vote for the candidate who says the dumbest thing?

and

2). Is Carson a super hero?

Not only would he grab the gun and beat the gunman over the head with it, but he would also outrun the lava before it buried him.

I don't want to seem like I'm being over-critical of any one candidate because, truth be told, I'm begging to find a candidate who is a little bit exciting.

But these D.B. of the Week Awards hand themselves out.

Congrats, Ben.

Outrun that lava!
