Ben Carson Not Ready To Be President Of Cuba, Either
Facts all come with points of view / Facts dont do what I want them to
Brilliant neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson is being beaten up by the Liberal Media again with their gotcha questions and all that unfair stuff. In the latest outrage, Ben Carson was asked a whole lot of questions about American policies toward Cuban refugees in an interview with the Miami Herald, which is totally unfair because Dr. Carson hasnt even met any Cubans named Harold. When are the Media Elitists going to realize it is unfair to expect a presidential candidate of Ben Carsons stature to know things?
Carson, whos currently taking time off from campaigning for the Republican nomination to sell a book he wrote, probably shouldnt have allowed any questions that werent about his book, but those sneaky Miami reporters slipped some policy questions in anyway, even though he very clearly stated that he doesnt do detail:
Im a little different than most of the candidates, Carson the author told the Miami Herald in a phone interview Wednesday. Im looking more nationally at everything thats going on across the country.
Even so, Herald reporters insisted on asking him questions about stuff that might matter to people in Miami, which seems awfully parochial of them. Not that Carson knows that word.
In the Herald interview, Carson appeared stumped by questions about the so-called wet-foot, dry-foot policy, which allows Cubans who reach U.S. soil to remain here, and about the Cuban Adjustment Act, which allows Cubans who arrive in the U.S. to apply for legal residency after 366 days.
He was candid about not being up to speed.
Youre going to have to explain to me exactly what you mean by that, Carson said, asked about wet-foot, dry-foot. I have to admit that I dont know a great deal about that, and I dont really like to comment until Ive had a chance to study the issue from both sides.
Ummm
Look, we dont claim to be running for president or anything, but even Yr. Doktor Zoom, who lives in landlocked Boise Goddamned Idaho, knows what the wet-foot, dry-foot policy is, for chrissakes. Hint: It isnt related to galoshes.
