So, Ben found an actual rapper who isn't ashamed to be associated with him as his plan to wrap up the Black vote?

So is this the 14th Chamber. You might remember the RZA, the GZa, Ghost Face Killah, ODB, but I bet you forgot about MFAH Ben.

Talked with my cousin again about how Ben Carson is a Bad Adventist. First, he (Carson not cousin) was bearing false witness all over the place at the debate re: snake oil. Now this "hippity hop hop" (quoth cousin) ad shows that he has been listening to Satan's music and he even said he approved of it! Also, too, he apparently did a campaign thing on The Holy Sabbath, which is a sin because campaigning is his work, and that can't be done on God's Holy Day. (To be fair, it is not a sin to do brain surgery on The Holy Sabbath if it's necessary but not if it can be put off until Sunday, so I guess he's confused about this "working on Sabbath" thing.) I think I'm beginning to warm a little to Sleepy Ben since he is proving to be a worse Adventist than I ever was in the eyes of my Holy-than-thou-and-yer-grandma cousin. (No I'm not.)

He should skip the hippity-hoppity and stick with his theme music.

That suit is awfully, well, how should I say it? Oh, hell, here goes -- that suit is awfully black.

And let me say this -- it's not just black, it's BLACK!!! Like 50s ghetto BLACK!!! which is blacker than black. That's why it's BLACK!!!

It's like he's got a continuous loop of Perry Como in his head.

Either there's something seriously wrong with this motherfucker, or he's got a case of the cool that makes Don Cornelius sound like Roger Rabbit.

Without voter ID laws Dr. C doesn't have any better chance than any Reb TPer at losing by a decent margin.

"Oh yes! In West Philadelphia Detroit born and raised, DOIN’ BRAIN SURGERY is where Dr. Carson spent most of his days."

As opposed to the rest of the Republican field, whose theme song seems to start with: "Come and listen to a story 'bout a man names Jed..."

When I was used to watch Fresh Prince, I always thought that the line "Dice in the Mirror" was "Mike Tyson in there" as if he thought the cabbie looked exactly the boxer.
