Carter to Georgia: Nuts to You

Once again former President Jimmy Carter is actively working against the home folks (from Special Report):

Former President Jimmy Carter is taking heat in his home state of Georgia, after he successfully lobbied to save a submarine base in Connecticut at the expense of thousands of Georgia jobs.

Carter wrote a letter last week to the BRAC commission asking them to ignore a Pentagon recommendation to move six subs and more than 3,000 jobs from Groton, Connecticut to Kings Bay, Georgia.

Republican Representative Jack Kingston says Carter went "against the home team" and Republican Governor Sonny Perdue asks, "What was he thinking?"

But Carter says that moving the forces would be "militarily deleterious," adding that the commission's decision was not based his political influence.

Carter is apparently an equal opportunity fool. Since he couldn't find a reason to work against America the day he wrote the letter, he decided to work against his home state of Georgia instead. Probably just the force of habit.
