I find Carter to be a disgrace in every other way, but I don't buy this. As a former governor of a Southern state, he should be quite sensitive regarding the use of such language.
I would not dismiss this. Over the years I have met a few folks in "high places" and more than once I have been shocked at their language in private. As far as using the "N" word my experience is that it seems to come out of the mouth of people you'd least expect it from. I can count a couple of friends I've had over the years that both one day just floored me with the vitrol they had for people that are black. Which is something I just don't understand and sadly that was the end of our friendship.
But, the coverup could apply to LBJ. If you believe Dick Morris' stories, the story could also apply to the Bent One.
And we all know how the LSM reported on every salicious rumor or misdeed Bill Clinton was invovled with.
Like Bill Clinton was?! I know for a fact that Bill Clinton talked like that!
