The particular form of retribution Carter chose was as sinister and cruel as any known to man. He took his pen in hand and began to write books. Long books. Boring books. Dour books. Yes, long, boring, dour, numerous books.

Sort of like his single term in office, in other words?

Mr. Carter inhabits some weird parallel universe with people like George Foreman, who were despised when they were at their peak and then manufactured a touchy-feely post-career aura that made some people forget how much they disliked them when they were famous.

Priceless!

hilarious

I couldn’t believe this hadn’t been posted yet so I did only to get beat by a couple minutes. Great LOL piece!

During Carter’s giddy campaign, my mother-in-law (from Ga) did feel compelled to purchase one of those ubiquitous gold peanuts on a chain.

Oh the irony - it’s appreciated in value more than the Carter Presidency;)

The Oval Office equivalent of the Edsel...

Ouch !

Jimmy Carter has written 25 books? Good grief.

[chuckee]

Jimmuh’s books hit the remainder shelves as soon as they are released. He is king of the remainder shelves.He should have had more kids who could have created a market for the sanctimonious narcissistic trash he writes.

My sides hurt.

You and me both!! I've only read 5 paragraphs of this and had to stop for LMAO. Did Carter really write that much? Lord, talk about your encre-pisseurs. I'm headed for amazon because I just don't believe it.

[LomanBill]

>>And if Carter's gone back to the dismal years 1977-80 to exhume diary material, what comes next? "Tuesdays with Bert Lance"?

 

Well, Jimmuh could take reponsibility for that one time when....

In November 1978, President Carter appointed George Ball head of a special White House Iran task force under Brzezinski. Ball recommends the US should drop support for the Shah of Iran and support the radical Islamist opposition of Ayatollah Khomeini. This idea is based on ideas from British Islamic expert Dr. Bernard Lewis, who advocates the balkanization of the entire Muslim Near East along tribal and religious lines. The chaos would spread in what he also calls an “arc of crisis” and ultimately destabilize the Muslim regions of the Soviet Union.

 

...but he never will.

 

 

Oops.

I LIVED through Carter. At this point, i think I would take 4 more years of Jimmah over 4 more of Bammy. The
Peanut Man is smiling again, he’s not the worst anymore!

I suppose he needs something impressive for the Jimmy Carter Library that no one seems to care about. Perhaps “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” will do the trick.

Hilarious political ping

George Foreman despised? Sorry, I don’t recall that era.

I do recall Foreman walking around the boxing ring after winning the 1968 Olympic heavyweight gold metal with an American flag in his glove.
Some black athletes were giving the Black Panther fist at the games.

Other than that, the article rightly skewers Carter.

[GraceCoolidge]

You should read P.J. O’Rourke’s hilarious review of “Everything to Gain” by Jimmy Carter. You can find it here on FR. Title is “The Very Deep Thoughts of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.” Sorry I don’t know how to post a link...

[Yaelle]

Pretty funny!

But they left out his hatred of Israel and other places where you might find Joooos, and his love of terrorists, as long as they will help get rid of the aforementioned meddlesome people.

Jimmy Carter has spent his post-Presidential life seeking the public respect he thinks was stolen from him in his loss of the Presidency to Reagan.

His arrogant, egotistical manner in which he has gone about it has shown less respect to the Office of the President, than any modern former President ever has; which simply continues to demonstrate why he gets all the lack of respect he deserves.
