Jimmuh “Peanut Brain” Carter filled his Cabinet with corrupt, incompetent, mediocre people. Zbigniew fitted right in.
Actually, Zbig was coaching Jimmy Carter in foreign affairs when Jimmy was still in the Georgia Governor’s mansion. If I recall correctly, the President of CocaCola told David Rockefeller that he had found “the perfect dupe,” Jimmy Carter. Rockefeller dispatched Zpig to groom Jimmy for a run at the White House.
Zbig was the guy who invented Radical Islam as a “bulwark against Communism” and set the Ayatollah Khomeni up in Iran.
