Don't you hate it when old Navy guys just can't get along? John McCain took a swipe at Jimmy Carter the other day in an interview, with the transcript getting posted over at the Las Vegas Sun earlier today. As the folks at CNN's Politicker point out, it's not just a gratuitous political shot, since McCain has been trying to tie Obama to Carter, generally considered by the right (and quite a few centrists) to have been an ineffectual president.
But the comments are a bit jarring. McCain was asked by interviewer Jon Ralston, a Nevada political observer and blogger, about Yucca Mountain and nuclear waste and Carter's decision to end reprocessing, which McCain held up as a possible solution to the nuke waste problem.
"Q: You know why he did that then? "A: Yes, because Carter was a lousy president .... This is the same guy who kissed Brezhnev ...."

McCain is starting to sound like a “maverick” to me.
Many around here defend McCain because he would be better than Obama, the fact is that our republic is doomed no matter who wins. The supreme court has usurped the power of the legislature, the Constitution has been rendered meaningless. I am past the point of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Jimmy is just good at one thing, building barns and small houses.
About time someone told the truth about commie Carter. George Bush 41 and 43 both let Carter get away with murder.
Carter was NEVER a sub guy.
Ever.
He was one of Hymnan Rickover little sycophantic butt-boys; he spent two years trailing along like a puppy after Rickover; NEVER staioned on a nuclear sub.
He left the Navy earlier than his obligation on a hardship discharge before the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was ever commissioned.
Yes, Jimmah Cahtah was the worst excuse for a President in the Twentieth Century. The real question is why Obama loves Cahtah’s policies so much he intends to implement them once again.
Life sucks and sounds like you could suck all the life out of a room just by entering. I have no wish to converse with you beyond this post.
... may wish to find out what treason actually is before making such silly statements.
“Carter served on surface ships and diesel submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. As a junior officer, he completed qualification for command of a diesel submarine.” While Wikipedia is not the best source,it shows he DID serve on subs, maybe not nuclear ones, but I didnt say that. “
I also confirmed this with the USN history site. He served aboard 2 subs, and qualified for sub command.
“John McCain blasts Jimmy Carter as ‘lousy president’”
Juan? Blasting a Democrap? This is hugh and quite possibly series.
I only wish McCain had the audacity to call Yimmy an a$$hole as well.
Gross.
Looks like he’s pregnant with Arafat’s, Chavez’ or Castro’s baby, too!
I wouldn’t let Jimmy build a small house for me!
Carter was a lousy president”....
Truer words have never been spoken!
I know he claims salvation through the same Jesus as do I, but I don't understand how we can share the same heaven.
Thankfully, God knows how to sort it out.
According to “Life Clock,” I will die on Thursday, February 5th, 2032. The Republic just needs to hang on till then, as far as I’m concerned.
NEVER!!
