WHO SUCKS: The Sanctimonious Jimmy Carter

By now everyone’s heard about Jimmy Carter’s latest spasm of brilliance. Criticizing President Bush's "axis of evil" phrase as "overly simplistic and counterproductive," Carter said he thought it would take years to repair the damage done by that statement. Many folks smarter than me have already pointed out the obvious lunacy of the biggest presidential failure of the last century chastising any president, but I feel the burning need to get something off my chest. I hate Jimmy Carter. And not only that, but I hate his wife and his freakish daughter, too. All things Carter repulse me. I realize hate is a strong word that should not be used lightly. But after careful consideration I’ve come to the conclusion that it is the only honest assessment I can make about the man.

Like many Americans, particularly we Southerners, I’ve tried to convince myself that while his utter failure as president is without question, Jimmy Carter is a good and decent man who found his true calling as an elder statesman. In part because he is a Southerner, and in part because he is a seemingly devout Christian, many of us have tried to rationalize, compartmentalize if you will, our feelings about Jimmy Carter: President Carter, bad. Ex-president Carter, good and decent. No more. I’ve had all I can stand of this pompous asshole and I will never again qualify my hatred for him.

The fact of the matter is, I find him indecent and the complete opposite of a statesman. A statesman is one who shows wisdom, skill, and vision when dealing with public issues. Clearly Jimmy Carter is no statesman.

Liberals always chide conservatives about being morally superior, but I can think of no couple that fancies themselves the moral superiors of the rest of us more than Jimmy and Roselyn Carter. I have noticed this for years. Whenever I see the Carters interact with other first families – like at an inauguration or national day of mourning – their condescension cannot be disguised. Roselyn appears to be in a continual, lifelong nervous breakdown. This poor woman makes Kitty Dukakis look sane, yet she finds the strength to look down on the scoundrels that surround her at every turn. These two are arrogant and sanctimonious and I have grown weary of their moral superiority show. I don’t know what makes them think they are better than the rest of us. I guess it’s because they have plenty of free time to build crappy-looking row houses in neighborhoods whose residents would rather not to see their property values plummet (they paid for their houses, don't ya know). Building homes for the poor is a great thing, I suppose, but is it consistent with their morality to sit silent while Bill Clinton runs amuck in the White House, speaking out against him only when it is too late to do a damn thing about it?

It was about this same time last year when Jimmy went public with his scathing attacks against the Clinton pardons. This conceited asshole knew Clinton was joke from the beginning but did nothing to warn America about him until it was too late. He’s known about every Clinton scandal from Bill’s days as governor, and while it’s obvious he doesn’t really like the Clinton’s, he never said a negative word about them when it would have mattered (e.g., 1992 at 1996). And when the Lewinsky dress hit the fan, Carter’s admonitions were tepid at best. When it came to denouncing Bill Clinton, whose interests was Jimmy Carter protecting? America’s or Jimmy Carter’s?

So excuse me if I don’t get all misty-eyed about the house-raising, failed ex-president from Plains when he imparts words of wisdom for President Bush. Frankly, I think he needs to spend a little less time telling the rest of us how to behave, think, and feel, and a little more time lusting in his heart. For the only thing that Jimmy Carter hasn’t failed at is sucking. When it comes to sucking, Jimmy Carter has no equal.

Just like how we are being damaged to this day as a result of the Iranian Hostage "Charlie Foxtrot?"

[Freeper]

Remember that HillBillery Clinton is the most responsible for raising the general Americans opinion of Jimmy Carter!

[Freeper]

I despise Carter, too. But I decided he was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in criticizing Bush's "axis of evil" phrase when I learned that Bush had included North Korea in this group only because he didn't want to make it sound as if the U.S. were involved in an anti-Islamic crusade.

And where could one learn such a thing?

An absolutely outstanding rant - thank you so much! Good job, JL

Glad you enjoyed it....I felt it was appropriate....

Carter is frantically campaigning for a Nobel Peace Prize before he assumes room temperature. Very unseemly but not embarassing to Dems without shame.

Half the time, I wish they'd give him the D**N prize, so he will go away and SHUT UP.

I call him Jimmy ("Neville Chamberlain") Carter. He went to North Korea and sold his country down the river in order to build his resume for the Prize. He ensured that we will one day face a nuclear-armed North Korea...and the body bags are due to him.

Oooh, what a low blow, mentioning the Iran hostage crisis. Yessir, Jimmy knows how to fail at foreign policy toward Iran. Ben there, done that.

[Hillary's Folly]

Thanks for the ping pal. Fun thread. Poor Jimmy, he was born with a silver head up his ass.

I won't forgive the bum after what he put our nation through with the Iranians. A friend of my who worked at DOD read the mission report after we sent special forces into Iran. Carter basically panicked and froze, and the commander on the ground made the decision to leave after Jimmy couldn't. Carter is and was a wimp, and his voice carries no weight with me.

God bless George Bush.

[Kevin Curry]

He's good with a hammer. I particularly like what he's done to his head.

LOL. That's actually pretty funny, dead. Can't say why it is exactly, but it is.

[Hillary's Folly]

"Half the time, I wish they'd give him the D**N prize, so he will go away and SHUT UP." Gawd no, I'm afraid that would only embolden him, make him worse than he already is. And worst of all, lend some sort of credibility to him.

[Diojneez]

Isn't Jimmuh the dork who threw away the Panama Canal?

[Alberta's Child]

That the reason those three were chosen was because they are aggressive regimes all seeking and close to getting WMD?

Don't give me that nonsense. If any of those aggressive regimes were called "China" they would have become our top trading partners by now.

Oh dear, and I thought it was his head that was up his ass....

I remember Clintoon sent that idiot Carter along with that bag of skin Warren Chrisopher as special envoys everywhere...it was pathetic...

[RetiredArmy]

Jimmy Carter is described in one word. The same word you can describe Klinton. Failure. That's the only word you need.

[cerberus]

I am tired of hearing the latest inanities from this perenially pious pontificating pissant of an ex-president.

Screw him and thank God he is no longer president.

On the other hand, maybe I should be grateful for him because it was during his disastrous presidency that I lost my faith in liberalism.

[yarddog]

Jimmy did accomplish one thing which I would have thought impossible.

He got my Father, who was a lifelong, "yellow dog" democrat to vote Republican (he voted for Reagan). After he made the switch, he went ahead and registered Republican and has not voted for a dem since.

China already has WMD. They have not blown us up yet because they are not totally crazy. Can you say the same about any of the "Axis of Evil?"

Libia would be on the list if they had the means of getting these weapons.

Hmmm, four of them, would that be a Quadrophonic of Evil?

It's an ill-wind that blows no good.

[Jim Scott]

Great post; Thanks.

Jimmy Carter.

Panama Canal giveaway, Iran hostage crisis (444 days), super-inflation, gas shortages, malaise, on and on it goes, the Carter legacy of total failure.

Now, the old 'carpenter' regularly crokes out DNC talking-point criticisms of President George Bush, which is his constitutional right of course, but every time 'Jimmah' opens his mouth, the comparison between him and Bush is clear and Carter's many failures as President are once more brought to the surface where they are shown to represent his muddled thoughts and foolish actions while sitting in the White House and his total uselessness now. The man is a fool and he just makes it painfully obvious every time he speaks in public, especially on foreign policy. It's pathetic.

Advice to Jimmy Carter: Shut up. You're not going to win the Nobel prize. Your Presidency was a bad dream for most of us who experienced it and most everyone else knows it by now. No one cares what you think about anything. You know nothing, you contribute nothing. You are not better than anyone. Just...shut up.
