1. It's hard to defend a pathological liar like Carson

Carson could not take a week in the limelight without cracking.

Lied about violet past
Lied about being robbed at a Popeyes
Lied about a West Point scholarship

What else would we find in a month or two of looking?

2. These are all reasons I suspect a psychotic break at some point

I've worked on a neurosurgical unit. I know the pressures the docs are under and it was worse for Carson, he operated on kids. There is more than sufficient reason to crack under the strain.

Telling easily debunked lies might be part of it. Oh, he'll still get the fundie vote, those folks have never cared too much about sticking to the truth. The question now is whether this is enough to tear that party apart at long last.

I'm not so sure we need to look. Carson is doing a bang-up job of showing the world just how ignorant he is.

Has it finally happened? Has the Pigman finally shorted out his remaining brain stem with hillbilly heroin? It MUST happen, people as addicted as Rush always crash and burn. Nobody controls their drug habit.

8. Limbaugh = moral bankruptcy

Remember Sandra Fluke?

"At Pelosi’s hearing, Fluke said her fellow students at Georgetown, a Jesuit university, pay as much as $1,000 a year for birth control because campus health plans do not include coverage of contraceptives for women.

What does that make her?” Limbaugh said on his show Wednesday night. “It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.”

“She wants to be paid to have sex,” Limbaugh continued. “She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception.”
