Don't you hate it when old Navy guys just can't get along? John McCain took a swipe at Jimmy Carter the other day in an interview, with the transcript getting posted over at the Las Vegas Sun earlier today. As the folks at CNN's Politicker point out, it's not just a gratuitous political shot, since McCain has been trying to tie Obama to Carter, generally considered by the right (and quite a few centrists) to have been an ineffectual president.
But the comments are a bit jarring. McCain was asked by interviewer Jon Ralston, a Nevada political observer and blogger, about Yucca Mountain and nuclear waste and Carter's decision to end reprocessing, which McCain held up as a possible solution to the nuke waste problem.
"Q: You know why he did that then? "A: Yes, because Carter was a lousy president .... This is the same guy who kissed Brezhnev ...."

Who says that McCain doesn’t know his head from his...
“Carter was a lousy president”.....
This is a good start!....Next I want to hear that
Obama would make a lousy president and why!
they may both be Navy guys, but an aviator vs a sub guy??? And they think they’ll get along?
OKAY!!!
this is where I send a check to McCain! ha!
Gack!....what did he/she do?...fly into a brick wall?
Say it again and say it often. And then start “Obama wants to serve Carter’s second term” meme....
EWWWW
He has moments of lucidity.
McCain needs to say in his best Spanish accent: “Socialists?..We don’t need no stinkin socialists!”
As a young boy, Carter had a dog named Bozo.
These days, a big part of his day is spent reminding people that his name is Jimmy, not Bozo.
A few more well spoken truths by John might just get me to change my tag line... though I am not deluded enough to think that John would suddenly embrace conservatives just to earn my approval.
Well, John McCain, that’s at least one thing we can both agree on!
There is so much wrong with that picture that I just can’t say. Linda Carter was a knockout.
That McCain knows Carter made a great PB&J but not a great POTUS is noteworthy, though.
Carter deserves every nasty thing said about him.
I just read an article that tonight Carter will be meeting with 250 river paddlers in drought-ravaged Georgia to blow his own horn about how he was able to stop a dam project when he was governor of GA. I bet a lot of Georgians are so glad that they lost a much-needed reservoir so that a handful of folks have a long river to paddle down.
I wish McCain would tell us something we DON’T already know.
Really?
That's really going out on a limb politically by walking the edge of truth isn't it?. /S
ROTF!
Sadly enough, if one listens to the carter speeches on conservation and threatening energy rationing while POTUS back in the '70's one wonders if Jimma' Carter didn't do a Michael Jackson in reverse and become Obama later in life after listening to Obama political speak. ; )
The only thing worse for America than the carter presidency is the carter ex-presidency. He is an idiot.
