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.

From whom did you learn this gem about the inclusion of North Korea in the Axis of Evil? They, the North Koreans,are more than likely to set off a nuke, or lob a missle at South Korea, or anywhere else. The North Korean Dictator and his regime is evil.

I heard it in an interview with someone who has served as a senior Republican advisor for the last 20 years. He wasn't trying to be critical -- he was just stating it as a fact.

North Korea is probably the last country in the world that would have any interest in launching a nuclear strike against anyone. Their major problem is that they are an easy target from both a military and a political standpoint -- they will lose in a military confrontation with any nation stronger than Haiti, and because they have no strong economic/political ties to the West nobody would complain very much if they were wiped off the map tomorrow.

Oh Yea! Remember the Billy Beer? Brother Billy, drunk, wife beater, slob, low life, hanger around celebrity, ass pinching, tennis playing, drooling idiot? Do you remember him challenging Billie Jean King to a tennis match, and she played him? If I remember correctly it was a femine vs male thing. Billy lost.

My most cherished memory of Jimmah is sitting in a 50 car lineup at a gas station in a snow storm at the top of the Grapevine headed south. Fist fights and line crashers abounded. Jimmy's Gas Shortage, so soon we forget!!!!! You'd have thought Congress would have done something about our Middle East dependency on oil back then. Rational action = Out! Anti-American action = In. Congresscritters=Self seekers.

My husbands favorite memory is sitting on Diego Carcia waiting for the heads up to go in and rescue hostages while Jimmy withheld military pay for three months, 'cause he couldn't get a balanced budget.
