That's absolutely true. All during the unfortunate Clinton Administration I kept telling myself that at least Jimmy Carter had a certain amount of class and didn't "stain" (pardon the expression) the office, but ever since the Dems have lost the White House the man has been popping up non-stop to prattle this stuff.
Carter's administration may not have had a "Lewinski," but it was an absolute, total failure.
Not for the lack of trying. I heard the Rabbit turned him down.
Carter definitely had the more entertaining family. If only William Faulkner or Tennessee Williams had lived to meet the Carters, they would have had a field day writing about them
Jimmuh's sons did coke in the White House, and his sister was a faith healing motorcycle evangelist, usually found roaring around the Ozarks. Her most noteable Christian convert was Larry Flynt, the owner of Penthouse Magazine, but Larry apparently fell off the wagon and that seems to be over. His brother was a paid lobbyist for the Libyans, except when he wasn't marketing his own creation, Billy Beer. The family matriarch, Ms. Lillian had wisely been shuffled off to India in the Peace Corps, a few years prior to the 1976 election, but on her return she had a lot to say.:)
The Clintons are rich white trash, agreed, but you couldn't buy entertainment like the Carters. Who else but Jimmuh could be chased in a fishing boat by a great big aquatic killer rabbit, for instance?:)
