Habitat For Asininity: Carter's Latest Foray Into Tackiness

Jimmy Carter provides us all with moments that make us wonder about what was in the drinking water back in 1976. The funeral of a stricken child in Maryland provided yet one more infamy to add to that list. The encounter went as follows:

Mattie J.T. Stepanek, a 13-year-old Rockville, Md., boy who "wrote books of inspirational poems that climbed the bestseller charts," died last week of muscular dystrophy. Among those attending his funeral, the Washington Post reports, was Jimmy Carter...

Why would Jimmy Carter go to such trouble?

To hurl more invective at President Bush.

The man has stooped where maggots would fear to tread. The man used the ocassion of a young boy's funeral oration to offer us his hackneyed, knee-jerk insights on the issues of the day. The young boy had written about how the war had made him sad. Jimmy used this as a jumping off point for his hateful stream of bile.

The young boy felt President Bush should have spent more time and energy planning for peace. For a child to say that is understandable and even touching in its niavete. From a responsible adult who leads the second largest democracy in the world, this gets lots of people killed.

Maybe Carter should have spent more time and energy pulling his head out of his butt. His failures in Iran, Nicaraugua and Afghanistan may very well have resulted from the peace at all costs foreign policy of Carter's failed presidency.

I'll agree with poor, deceased Mattie that George W. Bush should spend more time and energy planning for peace. Our president should accomplish this by spending his entire second term getting SDI to the field and adding two additional divisions to the US Army.

Jimmy Carter has once more embarrassed himself.

Using a gravestone as a soap box. Pretty low rent.

[FormerACLUmember]

Clinton was most assuredly NOT the worst President of the 20th century. That notoriety belongs to Carter, the most incompetent loser since James Buchanan.

......make us wonder about what was in the drinking water back in 1976

[randog]

I felt sorry for Carter back in the '70's because of the constant black cloud that seemed to follow him.

Now I just think he's an @sshole.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Now I just think he's an @sshole.

...With a black cloud that constantly seems to follow him.

[.cnI redruM]

LOL!!

Wow, I never thought about that one!

[feedback doctor]

Now I just think he's an @sshole.

...With a black cloud that constantly seems to follow him.

And thanks to him a mushroom cloud may be coming from North Korea.

What little credibility the man had with me went out the window when he went to Cuba and kissed Fidel's ring.

"Jimmy Carter provides us all with moments that make us wonder about what was in the drinking water back in 1976."

What was in the water? Gerald Ford.

[WorkingClassFilth]

What did you expect? Billy had all the brains in the family.

Gee, I thought someone was about to offer "Ted Kennedy's latest girlfriend."

[Corin Stormhands]

Clinton was most assuredly NOT the worst President of the 20th century. That notoriety belongs to Carter, the most incompetent loser since James Buchanan.

Agreed. Clinton just seemed worse because we had to endure it longer.

[BigSkyFreeper]

And thanks to him a mushroom cloud may be coming from North Korea.

Good point, he exacerbated that profoundly, and earned a Nobel Prize for the effort.

What have you got against Buchanon, to place him below Carter?

So9

[Fiddlstix]

LOL! I'd almost forgotten Billy Beer. If memory servers, Carters Mom even said once that Billy was the smartest of the two.

[FormerACLUmember]

Yes, Clinton is the second worse President of the last century after hypocrite loserman Carter.

HOWEVER, if it could ever be clearly documented that Clinton took money from the Chinese military for missle or nuclear technology, THEN Clinton would not only be the worst President in American history, but one of the greatest traitors in all of human history!

[FlyVet]

I bought a six-pack of that once, back in the day. Carbonated sewer water, with a headache in every can. Apparently Billy was as honest as his brother, since the label says "I think it's the best I ever tasted."

[FormerACLUmember]

What have you got against Buchanon, to place him below Carter?

Set the stage for the Civil War with a total lack of leadership....

OK, OK.... Millard Fillmore then was worse!

[Corin Stormhands]

I'd be vey surprised if either the paperwork OR the personnel were still "available" (if you get my drift) to document that.
