Jimmy Carter will be 100 years old on Oct. 1. That in itself might have been enough to stage a concert in his honor. After, no other president has hit the century mark, and so why not? Yet when the roster of D-listers, has-beens and never-weres took the stage to honor Jimmuh last Tuesday, they weren’t content with praising his unprecedented longevity. Instead, they spent a great deal of time hailing “the singularity of his achievements” and praising the ways in which he supposedly made the country better. That’s right: once again leftists exchanged fantasy for reality.
The New York Times reported Friday that a stellar lineup including the B-52’s, BeBe Winans, Angélique Kidjo, Chuck Leavell “and many others,” some of whom you may even have heard of, took the stage at Atlanta’s venerable Fox Theatre to honor the failed president.
The air was thick with undeserved praise. “You can see he had a relationship to music — look at how we gathered here together tonight. He used it as a powerful tool to bring people together.” Carter brought people together? Then why is the country so divided today? I know, I know: The Gipper and the Bad Orange Man....
The Times was less confused about the concert for Carter. “In many ways,” the Paper of Record pontificated, the concert “mirrored the scope and ambitions of the man it was celebrating: Global and idealistic in its reach, but firmly planted in Georgia, molded by religious and cultural traditions as well as the rich but complicated history of the rural South.” Uh huh. Global and idealistic and the worst president of the latter half of the twentieth century.

Like manyother places of deserved punishment (e.g., jails in blue areas) ‘Ell is temporarily full. Please wait.
Habitat for humanity is the only thing he ever did except make it to 100.
He gave us Billy Beer.
Well I will turn 70 the day after that and I can say that my vote for Jimmy Carter is the one I regret the most (I was basically independent back then and not fully conservative). At least on his 100th, he is no longer the worst Prez..
lol
I remember that!
Carter was in a canoe and an aggressive rabbit swam toward him, baring his teeth and looking like he was going to attack the prez.
The press called it “The Killer Rabbit.”
I think Carter tried to swing at it with his oar!
Where was the Secret Service? LOL!
When I think of Carter what stands out is his betrayal of the Shah. Just think how much better off the world would be if he hadn’t done that.
I can’t think of any positive accomplishments although there must have been some. I guess he avoided scandal and wasn’t a perv or a total commie.
Carter wasn’t reelected because the USA couldn’t take another term of that much greatness!
Crashing US helicopters in the desert?
He outlived the attacking aquatic bunny.

That’s pure conjecture - the bunny could be stalking him even now - you never know what lurks in the shrubs until its too late.
Midwife to the Iranian islamic terror state.
The speed in which Carter demolished the economy with record-high inflation and gas lines was quite the achievement
It seems to me that Carter is a generally good man who for some odd reason is also a communist. And also, a horrible president.
He planted the seeds of radical Islam.
I view Carter as a good man, but he was a completely incompetent president.
No gas lines. Gamers full of crude anchored all along the coastline. Killing the economy.
I was around for Carter.
Life sucked.
Not to mention we have him to thank for bringing what we now know as the Department of Education into existence in 1979.
There is that. 😆
I’m more pissed off at Ford for blowing it.
The Left have to push their narrative so the history archivists will show Carter the way the Left wants him to be.
