"Betty and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our longtime friend, President Reagan. Ronald Reagan was an excellent leader of our nation during challenging times at home and abroad. We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Nancy and his family."

[Guillermo]

Since "Blame America First" Carter was pro-Soviet Union, it's not surprising he has nothing good to say about Reagan.

Former presidents react to Reagan's passing (except Carter, who can't be bothered)

Carter must still be in some sort of . . . malaise.

[NativeNewYorker]

Oh, Carter was just out of reach...no doubt hiking with Prince Bandar in some remote Rockies pass...

[BenLurkin]

Heh-heh-heh!

[Kate of Spice Island]

We'll hear from Carter soon enough.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Jimmy's Misery Index must be off the charts.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

No statement was immediately available from Jimmy Carter.

Oh? Is he still alive?

[hinckley buzzard]

Yeah, where is the little pr*ck? He couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the WW II Memorial, even though GHWB, Clinton, and the sitting president could find the time.

Now he's too busy doing important things to have the grace to take five minutes and order one of his toadies to send condolences?

What a crapweasel.

[Dog Gone]

Even "astroturf in the bed of the pickup" Clinton demonstrated more class than Carter. And it's not like he's not around. He christened the USS Jimmy Carter yesterday. He's probably incensed that Reagan's death distracted from his day of glory.

Jimmy Cartuh reacts- 'Ive still got a Nobel Peace prize!'

"DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN KERRY

Ronald Reagan's love of country was infectious. EVEN WHE HE WAS BREAKING DEMOCRATS HEARTS, he did so with a smile and in the spirit of honest and open debate."

Real nice, Johnny-boy, you just have to turn this into an us-vs-them remark. Class act. . .NOT!! And I'll bet you really wanted to say what your buddy Miguel said:

"MIGUEL D'ESCOTO, former foreign minister in Nicaragua's revolutionary Sandinista government of the 1980s, when America was shipping money to the opposition, known as the Contras, called Reagan an 'imperialist president'.

"There is not the least doubt that President Reagan did Nicaragua much harm, caused many deaths. He may not have had much time or inclination to regret the damage he did, but regardless of that we ask God to take pity on his soul."

Miguel and Johhny-boy, peas in a pod.

[Allegra]

Carter couldn't say anything?

You mean that guy who couldn't get the hostages out of Iran, but they came soaring up out of there as Reagan was being inaugurated? Because the Iranians feared dealing with him?

You mean the guy whose mess it was that Reagan cleaned up?

That guy?

MR. AND MRS. CARTER ARE TOO BUSY BUILDING SHACKS

'Recovery starts when Jimmy Carter is out of work' (the Great Communicator)

[Helms]

Let Jimmy Carter know that his day will soon come.

Ronald Regan is the longest living President, took a bullet that nearly killed him and Is Going Out In World Historical Fashion.

In his death he still confounds his detractors. His timing always exquisite.

[snooker]

Jimmy dum dee dum Carter must be out of oil by now.

Carter was the single biggest threat the country has ever had. He nearly sunk the US in 4 years. His most famous prediction was the world would be completely out of oil by the year 2000. It seemed all you ever heard from this creep was doom and gloom and malaise. His stupid fireside chats were, well, stupid.

[TexasTransplant]

Jimmy Carter is lucky in that for his funeral he will be dead.

[Howlin]

Has he really not said anything at all?

And did he really miss the WWII memorial dedication?

[wardaddy]

That's rich.

A Sandy kelptocrat blaming Reagan for harm to Nicaragua.
