Some may not realize that in 1981, Jimmy Carter epitomized failure, having presided over a grim four years in American history.

And those people write ridiculous articles like these trying to rehabilitate the jerk. History (and Carter) speak for themselves.

President Bush looks annoyed and bemused, as in:
1. Who has the damned football. It's time to nuke Plains.
2. An empty peanut shell, not worth the effort...Never mind!

Mrs. Bush, on the other had, has that school teacher look many of us remember. When my teachers got that look, I knew I had crossed the line & was in deep shiite: at school and at home.

It is incredible that the DUmmies actually might believe their own stories.

I guess that they repeat the lies enough times, they then believe it.

Art auctions are a form of commercial money laundering.

Just a thought to keep in mind.

Thanks for posting the cover George. IMO McGovern and his anti-war fellow travelers moved the democrat party in the direction that set the course for the next 34 years. Carter and Clinton were just dupes on the road to socialist nervana.

I vividly recall seeing billboards along I-75 in south Georgia declaring "The farmers of Georgia apologize to the nation for Jimmy Carter."

During the Carter years, at Carter's urging, Idaho Senator Frank Church held hearings on the operation of the CIA and found that -- HORRORS -- taxpayer money was being paid to foreign snitches who had CRIMINAL RECORDS for vital human, on-the-ground intel on the activities of those who were planning the destruction of this country. Church commented at one session that "Gentlemen do not read other gentlemens’ mail." Glad that a**hole didn't serve during the run-up to WWII. (Although he may have handled the "delayed" communication to Pearl Harbor that the Japanese were on the way!)

The sorts of people who consort with -- and, more importantly, get cozy with -- the leaders of terrorist organizations are not normally choir boys. Church moved the legislature to PROHIBIT any US funds going to these potential informants. Since it can take upwards of 20 years for these guys to move close enough to the top to be seriously valuable, we had virtually NO humintel on bin Laden's plans for 9-11! While there are still Church-like imbeciles at the levers of power here, I THINK the law has been changed. While the NSA wiretaps and eavesdrops on US citizens HERE, isn't it comforting to know that in just 15 or 20 years we may be able to thwart THERE a plan hatched THERE for some future 9-11 with information actually gathered THERE.

Despite what my Emory indoctrinated niece (who worked at the Carter Center for Meddlesome Interference in United States Foreign Policy) thinks, Carter was -- and IS -- a dangerous buffoon.

Art auctions are a form of commercial money laundering.

In what way? Are auctioneers not required to report large cash transactions?

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.

High praise indeed, putting his painting on the cover of his novel!

What a nightmare remembering that cast of characters (circa 76-80) - that dog ugly daughter, granny carter, billy, rosalyn (of the sappy southern draw) and the white house idiots hamilton jorday and jodie powell -- this guy is at the height of his career right now.
