Too Late for Carson to Catch Up on Homework
A little over a year ago, when Ben Carson was gearing up to run for president, I questioned in this space whether he was ready for what lay ahead. We now have our answer: No. Carson had a great number of things going for him: his amazing life story, charm, professional accomplishments, eloquence and courage. I had only one major concern: “While he speaks eloquently and passionately about the importance of doing homework in his own life and for children everywhere, it’s not obvious he’s taken those lessons to heart when it comes to politics.”
Ben Carson and the Dan Rathers and Brian Williamses of Our Time
Last week, I wrote in this column that Dr. Ben Carson, a leading Republican candidate for the presidency, was an “American hero.” I pronounced him thus even as the roof was falling in on his candidacy. Or was it? His numbers in the polls have held up. As the hullabaloo grew in the media, millions of dollars poured into his campaign from supporters all over the country. A week after it all began, the Carson campaign still appears formidable. Is his campaign really in trouble or has the crafty neurosurgeon-turned-presidential-candidate hit upon yet another tactic to win the election? Is he turning the maniacal nitpicking of the press to his political advantage?
Ben Carson’s Resume Is Fair Game — but What of Democrats’ Resumes?
The Politico headline was blunt: “Ben Carson Admits Fabricating West Point Scholarship.” Except Carson made no such admission. He acknowledged never applying to West Point. But as a top ROTC student in Detroit, there’s little question that had he wanted to go to West Point, he could’ve gotten in. Technically, West Point offers appointments, and the full tuition is paid for by taxpayers. But even West Point’s own website uses the word “scholarship.” In any case, Carson went to Yale, and, as such, could likely have gone to any school in the country.
