Dumb and Dumber!
jimmah is just glad he didn’t get aids from arafat
A Carter endorsement is pretty much the kiss of death.
HEY Jimmah! Did you know your poverty champion lives in a 28,000 sq ft home valued at $5mm on a tract of land worth $2.5mm ?????????????????? Check out the Orange County NC tax records!!!
Jimmy Carter is looking for someone to release him from the title of Worst President Ever and traitor to the U.S.A...he’s found that person in John Edwards.
2 peas in a pod, for sure, and the combined intellectual capacity of an amoeba.
Jimma endorsement = Kiss of death.
Can’t remember the last time Carter’s opinion was worth listening to. Maybe it never was.
In related news, Castro endorsed Hillary.
A Carter endorsement is pretty much the kiss of death.
Yep, unless your an American hating dictator.
Kiss of Death. I am sure Breck Girl wishes Peanut-head would go away almost as much as we do. Hey maybe McGovern and Dukakis will endorse him as well and we can have a trifecta.
I think Jimmah was endorsing Edwards as a worthy successor to the legacy of his dear, departed brother Billy.
Clearly, these are now the two biggest boobs in America!
Hey it runs in the family, Carter has all but endorsed (although he says his comments were not an ‘endorsement’) Silky Pony, but his idiot son Jack is throwing his support to Senator Plagiarism (aka Joe Biden).
‘Who put the LOSE in LOSER?’
You did Jimmah, YOU did!
Ping me when Fidel personally endorses Edwards.
