Ben Carson's Campaign Gently Death Rattles as He Runs Home For Clean Clothes

Ben Carson, a gentle salamander with a tremendously odd manner, isn’t doing so great, campaign-wise, having just cut 50 staff jobs, or about half of his campaign staff. But he does have clean suits, which seems to be quite important to him.
The Washington Post got their hands on an internal staff memo about the firings; other people working for Carson will have their salaries cut, and everyone may soon have to fly commercial instead of via private jets. (Let us pause here to wring out our hankies.)
That news comes a day after Carson defended himself for going home to Florida after the Iowa caucuses, where he came in a distant fourth. His rationale: laundry, a thing which can only be done in Florida. Carson asked if his desire to fetch new suits at home makes him “an evil, horrible person”?
From Politico, whose use of the word “rhetorically” makes this whole thing even funnier:
