I find myself agreeing (for probably the first time in my life) with Jonah Goldberg:

"How is this question relevant to anyone's life? Is there a Muslim candidate in the wings I am unaware of?" he asks. Todd had no legitimate reason to raise such a question with Carson, except to "feed the news cycle on MSNBC (and elsewhere) for the coming week," he writes.

Ewww.

I would have preferred something more current, 'cause I could have predicted those answers. Then again, I guess, consider the source, Todd.

Still, ewww. After this, Jonah, stay away.
