ROGER SIMON: THE CASE FOR BEN CARSON GROWS: “Not surprisingly, this – dare we call it – uppityness on the part of the neurosurgeon has elicited a fair amount of cognitive dissonance or, in Andy McCarthy’s term, willful blindness from the liberal punditocracy.  Jake Tapper on his Sunday show acted as if he could scarcely understand what Carson was saying, even though it is quite simple.”

Not to intrude on Dr. Carson’s day job of studying how the brain works, but the inability to understand the worldview of half the country is a curious mental affliction that seems endemic to CNN newsreaders.
