"Carter is highly intelligent -- perhaps the most intelligent president of the last 50 years. It would be foolish to write him off as simply naive."

I was thinking this was one of the best things I've ever read about Carter until the "highly intelligent" comment. I was more content to see him as an egotistical simpleton with delusions of having a grand place in history if only Reagan hadn't gotten in the way, a view merely made Carter an often dangerously useful idiot.

Maybe he is intelligent. Maybe he is super intelligent.

Doesn't make him wise.

One of the smartest people I know can't pour piss out of a boot unless you tell him the directions are on the heel.

And he got taken for several thousand dollars by the Nigerians when they were just sending air mail letters.
