Jimmy Carter is all Gerald Ford’s fault. If Ford hadn’t got whacked by Marine One’s helicopter blade, hadn’t claimed Poland was not dominated by the Kremlin, hadn’t told NY City to drop dead during its’ fiscal crisis and hadn’t run his campaign like one of the Three Stooges, he might have won and there would have been no Jimmy Carter. He now has the distinction of being the only person on the planet who was POTUS and was never elected to it.
And the only president who was the target of TWO assassination attempts!
