whatta maroon

Why doesn't someone take a roll of duct tape and shut this sucker's mouth? Most of the problems we have now in the Middle East started on Jimmy Carter's incompetent watch.

The money quote:

For all Carter's talk about human rights, how many people were liberated from oppression during his presidency? How many gulags were closed? Exactly zero.

He did, however, manage to allow an Islamic revolution in Iran and produce a horrible economy at home. Yeah, you did a great job, Jimmy.

Why doesn't someone tell him to shut the fuck up?

Has the man no shame? I keep thinking that every time we hear from him it will be the last time -- and it never is! Just like Clinton, they keep popping back up. I feel as if I am in Pet Cemetary!!

My parents lived in Snellville, GA, during Carter's governorship. After he became President, it seemed almost daily that some crisis or problem in Georgia was in the news, even reported on in Tampa. A conversation with my mother cleared up the problem for me. The new Georgia governor was having to deal with the mess that Carter had left Georgia in.

Unfortunately, some former Presidents don't like to give up the spotlight. No, I won't get started on Clinton, that's all apparent. In the past there was a dignity to former Presidents. Carter is a pimple compared to Clinton, but both are an eyesore to the United States of America.

President Bush has stopped Carter one time, but I don't remember the specifics right now. Let us hope that Bush can control some more of Carter's damaging actions.

Ann Coulter, taking over the spot that R Emmett Tyrell once occupied before he became a self-pitying old woman, wrote in June

``Jimmy Carter couldn’t land a helicopter in a desert, but he seemed to
imagine the public was hungry for his counsel in the war on terrorism. Carter
is so often maligned for his stupidity, it tends to be forgotten that he is
also self-righteous, vengeful, sneaky, and backstabbing.''

The funny thing is that Tyrell used to do even worse on Carter when Carter was President, in his Continuing Crisis editorial column.

Don't forget that he laid the plan for N. Korea to get their nukes in order. That little job between him and Slick WIlly is the reason we're now stuck between a rock and a hard place in Korea.

If the Norks launch a missle, I know who to blame.

Great Ann quote, Ron. She is woman.

The thing I'll always HATE about Carter, was pledging amnesty to draft dodgers in 1978, 5 years after we pulled out of VN, 3 lousy years after the fall of Siagon. Dickhead. Even if you didn't agree with the war, how can America teach youth that it's OK to run away when we need you most? For the parents, brothers, sisters and spouses whose loved ones never returned except perhaps in a body bag, how did that feel? For those who survived the war, especially those injured, how do we think they felt? Carter was as he still is... a dicklick.

Jimmy's legacy:

18% Interest rates
8% unemployment
7% inflation

After 2 years of Reagan:
8% Interest rates
5% unemployment
3% inflation
...and the middle class doubled by the end of Reagan's second term.

Jimmy may know a lot about the workings of nuclear power and Habitat For Humanity but he doesn't know squat about economics. That man is a total wuss.

Who says he knew jack about nuclear power? Sure, he made claims, but his handling of Three Mile Island suggests otherwise. The people around TMI got more dose from Chernobyl than they got from the accident next door, and they still haven't found any noticeable harm in the vicinity of the TMI accident 24 years later, but JEC did his best to foul up an entire industry over that. He started an entire Department of Energy when what he really needed was a gag.
