CHICAGO Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Religion Editor Frank Lockwood -- who set off a firestorm of criticism that reached into the White House with his story quoting Jimmy Carter calling George W. Bush the worst president in history -- said Monday that he quoted the former president accurately, fairly and in context.

The proof, he says, is in audio posted on the Democrat-Gazette Web site http://www2.arkansasonline.com/

Pure ZOT quality if you ask me, but I am willing to let him live for now LOL Let’s see what else he has to say first, benefit of the doubt as it were....

Where’s the bloody recall on that Nobel that Jimmah The Peanut won? He’s such an idiot.

[HEY4QDEMS]

If you're an insignificant moron and you make an irrelevant statement and nobody even listens or cares,............did you make a sound??

[Danae]

Constipated from too many peanuts. He should have stuck to something constructively good, like building houses for the poor, Habitat for Humanity was the ONLY good that man has done. If you pass up on the Billy Beer Testing.....

So...is it ok to be an openly Christian Democrat but not ok to be an openly Christian Republican?

Maybe because they know democrats don't really mean it, so its ok.

>>>???<<<

It’s a take on the old retort “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it ......”

The statement wasn’t directed at you. My point was that Jimmy Carter’s opinion is so worthless and that nobody listens to what he says anyway so on the same note no one even cares that he’s attempting to qualify hi remarks.

Rhetorical error old boy. You have the mantle of “Worst President in the History of the US” and you received at a time when we didn’t know the full extent of your incompetence.

Now, after 9/11, we have accurate information concerning your abilities as Prez.

Your title is not in doubt and trying to shift that title to someone who is demonstrably competent simply reinforces your claim to the prize. One might say you have won the “Darwin award, Presidential Division”.

His clock is ticking...

Actually, if Bush signs this Immigration bill as is, he will have done far more than Carter to ruin American. Sorry, but there it is.

or same person coming to play with the kitties?

You’ll last about 5 minutes on FR defending Carter on anything. This isn’t the place for you.

[Bitsy]

He’s just showing what a low class SOB he is. Ex-presidents should STFU about sitting presidents even if they are trying to sell a book.

Yeah, and I hear his books are selling for peanuts. Ta Dum!!(I am so sorry. I just had to say that!)

Carter is the one most responsible for the Middle East being what it is today.

Uhm, how is Jimmy Carter a liar?

By trying to claim that what he said was misinterpreted and that he meant something else when in fact he was quoted accurately.
