Jimmy Carter Inc.
Washington Post ^ | February 26, 2006 | Joel Achenbach

Posted on 02/25/2006 10:22:14 AM PST by george76

The other night Jimmy Carter popped up on the Larry King show, live via satellite, standing in a ski lodge and wearing a fur-lined outdoorsman jacket as though he'd just come in from felling a spruce.

He was publicizing an upcoming auction in which he would sell the furniture he'd been making.

Also his wine. This may have come to many viewers as a surprise: There is Jimmy Carter Wine.

The former president didn't say how he made it, but you know what it's probably called: peanut noir.

Also he plans to sell his paintings. "My paintings," he told King, "have gotten to be pretty popular."

In fact, he said, one of his paintings had been used as the cover for his recent novel.

George Will recently called Carter "an even worse ex-president than he was a president," a snippety remark that probably reflects Will's jealousy that Carter has more hobbies.

Liberal Democrats, demonstrating characteristic loyalty, tried to oust Carter in favor of Teddy Kennedy.

Carter survived, but fell in the fall election to a sunny, twinkly-eyed former movie star.

Carter hadn't just lost the presidency; in effect he'd been fired.

Answering a call, here comes the most indefatigable man in America: Jimmy Carter, ex-president-for-life.

Peanut furniture? Wine? Paintings?

Why the guy is becoming a regular Paul Newman.

Just when you thought Paul's dressing a bit pricey, Jimmy Dean sausage sucked and Orville Redenbacher thought he had gold coated popcorn, along comes peanut head like he's having a perpetual garage sale.

Doesn't this creep lust in his heart anymore? And are the Democrats really that stupid to buy that crap?


Oh ... never mind.

Jimmy Carter Wine?

Isn't this the president who ran a dry Baptist Whitehouse?

Sounds like a serious secret drinker to me.

I've wondered for sometime if Jimmah's breathtaking lack of shame and embarrassment is due to stupidity or the absence of a conscience.

I saw an unopened can of that stuff in an antique store a couple of years ago. I just couldn't bring myself to pay for anything that was associated with the Carter legacy.

Carter probably hired someone to make the furniture, the wine and the paintings. It wouldn't surprise me. He is such a damn phony!

Billy vs. Jimmy. Billy brewed beer. Jimmy verments wine. Billy drove a pickup truck. Jimmy drove a Volvo. Billy would piss against the side of his pickup truck when necessary. Jimmy always sits down when urinating. Billy knew how to handle the Iranian terrorists. Jimmy wasn't smart enough to listen to him. Billy engaged his brain before speaking. Jimmy never engages his brain choosing instead to emote. (Okay, maybe he doesn't have a normally functioning brain. After all, his daughter Amy seems to emote rather than think as does Roslyn or whatever her name was. Maybe that's why Jimmy is out of the country so much.) Billy stayed at home, drank beer, played poker, and had friends. Jimmy is always popping up as if he's trying out for Carmen Sandiego's job, sips wine, plays make believe, and has not friends. (No, Jimmy, all those turban heads don't hate all Americans just because they all hate you. Did it ever occur to you, Jimmy, that with the exception of the goofy people at the top of the DNC, how few Americans like you?)

It has been said by many that his brother Billie was an embarrassment to him. It seems that Jimmah has turned out to be much more an embarrassment to our whole nation.
