"Pot calling the kettle black" is how we might feel tempted to characterize Jimmy Carter's embarrassing assault on George W. Bush and Tony Blair for their part in liberating Iraq: "overt reversal of America's values," "abominable," "subservient," blah, blah, blah.
Giving way to such a temptation would amount to putting Bush and Blair on the same level as Jimmy Carter. No way. When it comes to incompetence, Carter stands splendidly alone among modern presidents.
It was never the way of James Earl Carter Jr., to keep his moral pronouncements to himself, but this past weekend's tirade — petty, vain, spiteful — is bad even by Carter's low standards. In conversing with BBC radio and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, he shows not the least concern for the spectacle of a former U.S. president calumniating one of his successors, together with a loyal American ally.
We really shouldn't wonder. Jimmy Carter is better, purer, nicer, holier and, especially, smarter than just about anybody you ever heard of, and we might just as well get used to it.
So, in "adverse impact on the nation around the world, [the Bush] administration has been the worst in history"? So very Carter-esque, a declaration like this. However did our onetime moral leader hold back so long from wising us up?
The Dallas Morning News, back in the '70s, called Jimmy Carter "the worst president in U.S. history" — or words of like import. About right, I would judge. It wasn't that James Earl didn't try to be a good president. It was a lot of things; first, his capacity for moralism.

Ever notice how jimmy got more vocal after Ronald Reagan’s funeral? I think he realized that he would be “not missed” and the outpouring of love and sorrow present at Ronald Reagan’s funeral would be non existant at his funeral. So, he decided to become more active and fight for a cause — so he could be beloved by his followers.
Of course, this is backfiring and he is seen more as a clown than a real US President.
Worst. President. Ever.
Carter is nothing but a bitter, spiteful old man who tries to pass himself off as a moral compass. Why the press even gives this hateful buffoon a microphone is beyond me -other than the fact that they can always count on him to bash President Bush. We have to remember that he was equally critical of Clinton. Buffoon that he is, he honestly believes that he has something to contribute other than hot air.
Jimmah really is the gold standard for the crazed moonbat set.
............... consider simple senility ?
or stupid is as stupid does.
I used to believe that though Carter was the WORST PRESIDENT in history, he was a very good ex-president. His work with Habitat for Humanity, etc., kind of put his blood into his ideas and words, unlike many other political figures.
Now, with his meddling in NKorea - helping Clintoon engineer possibly the worst foreign affairs negotiation in the history of the country there, and his meddling now, and his constant criticism of the United States and now our staunchest allies, he has earned my distain. He now qualifies not only as WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, he now qualifies as WORST EX-PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.
As I was reading this article, I thought something similar: ‘I wonder how many hours people are going to line up to pay him respects after he dies?’
I spent from 9PM to 6AM in line with my daughter to pay respect to President Reagan... I would have been there twice as long had that been required. For Carter?... certainly I wouldn’t show up ... I wonder how long his supporters will be willing to wait.
He truly is a clueless piece of work, isn’t he? He would be moderately tolerable if he weren’t so blatantly destructive to America every time he opens his d@mn mouth!
Jimmy has been running off at the mouth for a number of years, long before Reagan died.
He is just finally being noticed. Which, is exactly what he wants to increase his “legacy”. The problem is that it is backfiring!
Actually it is a toss up between Jimmy and Clinton!
When is the horse’s ass going to do the world a favor and drop dead?
He could do us a bigger favor by taking the klintoons with him.
Jimmy Carter is a perfect example of someone who has been living in an Ivory Tower all of his life. It’s so easy to believe this type of hype when a person has no belief in God. That’s why liberals are so deluded. They don’t have clue, and that’s the nice ones, the others are just pure evil, like Hillary Clinton.
Jimmy Carter on the surface appears to be nice, that’s why he gets away with what he does. But if you really want to know the real Jimmy, his wife shows what he is like. I always thought his wife was a shrew.
If carter was paying attention at the wellstone funeral AND MLK’s widow’s funeral......he would know the usual dem suspects will get face time promoting themselves....no one will shed any tears for him.
Clinton = Worst Person to be President Ever
