I didn't think it was possible, but this man is an awful in retirement as he was in the Oval Office. What a pathetic jackass.

"The year 2004 is hard to grade," said Carter. "I don't have any detailed information about what actually went on in Ohio. If Ohio had gone one way or the other, it would have changed the outcome of the election."

Now that is the kind of sophisticated, hard hitting political analysis I expect from Jimmy Carter. If Ohio had gone the other way, the outcome would have changed. Did Mr. Carter count up those electoral votes all by himself? I've also read that if a bunch of other states had gone "one way or the other," the outcome would have been different too.

I think the best thing I ever read about Jimmy Carter was P.J.O'Rourke's review of Jimmy and Rosalyn's book about making the most of the rest of your life. The review primarily consisted of games O'Rourke invented using the book: "D-U-M dumb" was particularly amusing. The review is reprinted in one of O'Rourke's books.
