Carter: Still No Clue

Jimmy Carter may or may not have been the worst president of the 20th century — history will have the final word on that — but his disgraceful performance yesterday at Coretta Scott King's funeral marks him as the most shameless. Maybe of all time.

There is, after all, a time and place for everything — but not for Carter.

In a reprehensible (albeit typical) display of tone-deafness, the former president used the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King's widow to score cheap points against President Bush. (He wasn't alone in that regard, more of which in a bit.)

Carter warmed up by conjuring the outlandish conspiracy theories that still linger from Hurricane Katrina: "We only have to recall the color of the faces of those in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi who are most devastated by Katrina to know that there are not yet equal opportunities for all Americans."

Then he segued on to the Bush administration.

In what could only be taken as a direct attack on Bush's electronic surveillance of suspected terrorists — a program Carter has repeatedly denounced as "illegal" — the ex-prez said of Mrs. King and her slain husband, Martin Luther King, "they became the targets of secret government wiretapping and other surveillance."

Remember the old schoolyard Dis? "He (referring to the opposing player) is the best man we got!" Jimmy Carter: making Republicans since 1977...

[Pessimist]

To the dems, I think Carter is just basically Michael Moore with gravitas. He's useful for lobbing the really outrageous claims.

[Richard Kimball]

You left out "spanked by a rabbit"

[proudofthesouth]

I fantasize about Comrades Carter, Bubba, & Hitlery being imprisoned in the same cell in Levenworth for the rest of their lives

[steelyourfaith]

Carter will never have a clue now that his "senor moments" are coming with increasing frequency.

[Richard Kimball]

Staged. The suit bag he had slung over his shoulder was empty. Course, it was indicative of the man. An empty suit carrying an empty suit bag.

Thanks for the email address. I sent my email and sent it to all on my email list.

[ZULU]

Next to Jimmy Carter, a totally witless worm, even Bill Clinton looks good - and that's pretty bad.

[mkjessup]

To paraphrase Winston Churchill's famous quote:

"An empty limousine arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and when the door was opened, Carter got out."

Carter was what we might have called a 'PITO', i.e., "President In Title Only".

How many people will come to Carter's funeral?

If an opportunity to p*ss on his tombstone is provided, I predict MILLIONS!!!

How bitter would you be if even the likes of Bill Clinton is remembered more fondly than you?

Good point....

[BamaDi]

I was working at Ramstein AB during that awful administration and I can tell you the Europeans laughed at this jack@$$....he was a total embarassment!

[Dante3]

I'd say Lyndon Johnson beats out Carter for the title of "The Worst President."

--------- Jimmy Carter is the world's only self-canonized saint. ----------

President Eisenhower didn't have to pat himself on the back.
Eisenhower got a real thank you from real people who really fought for Civil Rights.

I've posted the text of a telegram that the parents of the Little Rock 9 sent to Eisenhower during the Little Rock Crisis of 1957

Images of the telegram can be found at The Eisenhower Archives

But Carter shares a Nobel Peace Prize with Arafat!

Carter and clues:

Never had one, never will.

(How dumb do you have to be, to be unable to even be re-elected governor of Georgia???)

[fritzthecat]

I just have to a do "me too" pile on: Carter did indeed turn me from a Democrat to a conservative.

Is it possible that this man is as clueless as he seems? The statements Carter makes and the people he supports cause me to fear for the time when Gore is an older, more bitter, more deranged (is that possible?) elder "statesman."

Thank you for that link! Here is what I sent:

Mr. Carter's comments at the funeral of Coretta Scott King were shameful and beyond the pale. One would think that the Democrat Party would have learned in the wake of turning the late Senator Paul Wellstone's funeral into a campaign rally that memorial services are hardly the place that Americans expect insulting, partisan political attacks on their President and elected officials. How would Carter have felt if, at the funeral of Ronald Reagan, Republican after Republican had stood up to denounce Jimmy Carter and praise Reagan for delivering America out of four years of incompetence, economic misery, and foreign policy disasters? History has already judged Mr. Carter for his abysmal one term in the White House and it has not been kind, and rightly so. Mr. Carter speaks of the wiretapping of Martin Luther King, but fails to admit that it was the presidencies of JFK and LBJ that initiated and continued that practice? Mr. Carter should stay with what he knows, which is growing peanuts and swinging hammers for Habitat for Humanity. He did all the damage to America that we could handle, it is inexplicable why he must continue to display his total ignorance and contempt for the American people by peddling the lies of the extreme far left when even Carter must know that he is speaking such falsehoods. "Christian" my ass. Carter's religious affiliation is clear: "Shameless Hypocrite".

the ex-prez said of Mrs. King and her slain husband, Martin Luther King, "they became the targets of secret government wiretapping and other surveillance."

Yes - by John F Kennedy's DEMOCRAT adminstration

Staged or not, it was a good show. As I said, it was all downhill from that point onwards.
