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 ...."

Carlin was in awe of John McCain’s direct speech ability.
Carter was the worst president ever! Go get him McCain! Wee Hoo! I love it!
Oh, and make sure you tie carter around obama’s neck!
Finally something that I’m in 100% agreement with John McCain on. Pigs flew today!
Oh, and make sure you tie carter around obama’s neck!
Especially with the energy situation and Iran threatening. It has the potential to be 1979 all over again if Obama is president.
Let's give credit where credit is due here; Carter's obvious incompetence made it easy for Reagan to ascend.
Somebody should have told Carter that just because the boat went underwater, he didn't have to hold his breath the whole time.
McCain took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
Why is John McCain not guilty of treason?
My Uncle is a diesel boat sub guy, my stepdad a naval aviator of the same period. Step dad gave Uncle a picture of an aircraft carrier, and uncle painted cross hairs on it and said "now it looks right".
GOOD!!!! Now, let’s just hope that he doesn’t apologize.
'Lousy' kisser, too...
The correct lingo would be “an airdale vs. a bubblehead”.
Let’s hope. And if Carter says “I’m offended” - then McCain must say, “Good, be offended”. Maybe, just maybe, we can open this can of PC crapola and more will start speaking truth. Obama calls truth, ‘rumors’.
I know that you can’t be asking me to defend McCain...but, if you think he should be tried for treason drop a line to Husseins DOJ and maybe they can make time to do it(as they will be busy with war criminal investigations of the entire Bush cabinet).
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
