I didn't think there was anyone more stupid than Palin, but Carson, if you take away the brain surgery knowledge, is probably her intellectual peer.

If the Republicans had to have their token black candidate, I don't know why they didn't bring back Cain. At least, he's intelligent and sounded sane when he delivered their talking points.
