Here is the beginning of drew magary\’s article in the current issue Gentleman\’s Quarterly…which both he and the magazine seem to think is very worthwhile, very cool:
Fuck Ben Carson
You know, the only thing more alarming than Donald Trump leading the Republican presidential field is the fact that Ben Carson is the guy right behind him. While establishment puds like Jeb! Bush and Marco Rubio can’t decide if they want to beat Trump or emulate him, the Good Doctor made it clear this week that he is not only willing to replicate Trump\’s signature brand of hot-garbage-spewing, but he\’ll say even DUMBER shit. Here is Carson from earlier in the week on the Oregon shooter:
“Not only would I probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say, \’Hey, guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he can\’t get us all.\'”
I gather from this highly elevated and intelligent analysis, that magary thinks the 9 dead and 7 injured during chris harper mercer\’s massacre were much better off doing what they did than what Mr. Carson suggested.
I gather he thinks that meekly obeying the murderer\’s commands, and either dying or being sent to hospitals in varying degrees of mortal danger, was a far superior outcome than rushing harper mercer and incapacitating him at the cost of possibly one or two casualties – maybe none if harper mercer were sufficiently surprised to either not fire at all, or fire wildly and miss.
I am tempted to use the same verb to insult drew magary that he used to insult Ben Carson. But that\’s way too easy. I\’ll just let his supersedingly stupid “analysis” stand as-is. His own words say it just as clearly.
