"No, I think it’s a narrative that’s been put out there. We want to be comforted, we want to be comforted quickly, and we go for the bright, shiny object as the solution rather than being a little more cerebral. You know, if you think back to Abraham Lincoln, he was not a loud, bombastic person by any measure. Ungainly, lanky, uncouth, but very courageous and very strong. What I’ve been emphasizing on the road lately is that strength is not defined by the decibels of which you say something or by the gesticulations associated with it, but by the accomplishments of one’s life. What have you faced, and how have you faced those things?"
What???? Did u call the reverend President Lincoln --Lanky, Uncouth, and ungainly??? That's insulting! Its really, really insulting! 
OK to be fair--Lincoln has been described as "Ungainly" in both contemporary quotes and historians. But Uncouth?? seriously? Carson---u have gone too far this time!
