Ben Carson: "I ate the Easter Bunny. Delicious. Pommes frites, haricot verts, and a nice Cab. Yum."

No link yet...the story is still breaking.

CNN Iowa: Ben Carson, on the campaign trail, told reporters today that his previous night's dinner consisted of the Easter Bunny with sides specially prepared by his executive chef, who travels with him.

"I got to prep him myself. It was great. He snuggled up on my lap and looked at me with those bunny eyes and did the little wiggling nose thing. I said to him, "Gee, you ARE a cutie," and then took his head in both of my hands and snapped his furry little neck like a twig. It was SO awesome. Then I skinned him and gave him to Henri, my executive chef. And see my keychain? I kept the feet. They're supposed to be lucky. Not that I need it, of course. You're looking at the next President of the United States, and you can take that to the bank."

Carson said that the Easter Bunny, as prepared by Henri, did indeed "taste like chicken. I had him with some pommes frites, haricot verts, and a nice Cab. Yum. My only regret is that I ate the only one. This is not a meal you can have twice, you know?"

The former surgeon has come under increasing fire lately for what some see as a lack of sensitivity, including his singling out a fifth grader for ridicule by his classmates. "Life's tough, and if I'm not the one to crack your skull open, it will just be someone else. Deal with it," Carson told our reporters. He also revealed that at his Inaugural Dinner, Henri will be preparing Unicorn with a Wild Rice Medley and Brussels Sprouts.
