There just are no words!

[skeeter]

There’s no fool like an old peanut farming fool.

[lurk]

Yes, it was a very close vote, and Mr Carter was actually enormously popular.

[thorvaldr]

Does he think being “more manly” would have made him NOT the 2nd worst president in US history?

[jalisco555]

Yeah, and I'd be in the NBA if I was taller. And could play basketball.

Jimmy, you are who you are.

[hinckley buzzard]

Arrogant fool still seeking an excuse that allows him to avoid facing the reality--that he was an inept failure across the board.

[muir_redwoods]

Yes, and if my aunt had b@lls she’d be my uncle.

[Responsibility2nd]

Manly?

Well when a Killer Rabbit can kick your ass; you manhood card is forever revoked.

[DeaconRed]

IF

Jimmah if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass every time he hoped.
You were lilly white Jimmah and once the people caught on to how sorry you were you were toast..
Nixon got you in and Jimmah got you out. . . .

[Maceman]

More manly, less clueless, less feckless and less totalitarian leftist. And smarter.

[Mastador1]

Funny he left out condescending to the military and dumb as a brick

[PLD]

In your dreams moron..

I was living in Europe when this moron was elected..I was young and did not care about politics..and did not know anything about him..I do know now..

[The KG9 Kid]

Completely high.

[Socon-Econ]

You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

[gov_bean_ counter]

It also would have help if he hadn't consulted his 12 year old daughter on weighty issues like NUCLEAR FREAKING PROLIFERATION!!!

[windsorknot]

What stopped Jimmy from being “manly”? Perhaps it wasn’t in his character? Is this man not satisfied with being the second worst president?

[areukiddingme1]

Uuuuuhhhh, Jimma, the first thing you need to know about being manly, is you don’t have to talk about being manly.

You either are or you are not.

You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. Now don’t go away mad...just go away.

[SkyDancer]

I thought there was to be a satire tag on stories like this? </sarc

[henkster]

Yeah, maybe that would have happened on a planet with a green sky and four moons, but not here.

[refermech]

As well as encouraging the Iatollah Khumenies return and ousting the Shah of Iran. The whole middle east would be different today. Another case of choosing the wrong horse.
