Jimmuh Carter, the Most Classless

It's getting harder to argue that Jimmy Carter is not suffering from senility. He certainly has lost any class he might have had at one time. His latest outrage is a new collection of contemptible statements about President Bush that give aid and comfort to our enemies:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Former President Carter says President Bush's administration is "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.

The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush's environmental policies and the administration's "quite disturbing" faith-based initiative funding.

"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper's Saturday editions. "The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me."

Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo confirmed his comments to The Associated Press on Saturday and declined to elaborate. He spoke while promoting his new audiobook series, "Sunday Mornings in Plains," a collection of weekly Bible lessons from his hometown of Plains, Ga.

"Apparently, Sunday mornings in Plains for former President Carter includes hurling reckless accusations at your fellow man," said Amber Wilkerson, Republican National Committee spokeswoman. She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."

Bible lesson #1 in Jimmuh's audiobook: "Love Your Enemy (While Hating Your Own Country)".

Sadly, Jimmuh knows his legacy as president was one of failure and world humiliation as he drove our economy into the dumper and allowed a handful of Iranian students to hold our citizens hostage for 444 days. The very day Ronald Reagan took office the Iranians threw up the white flag and released the hostages. They knew Reagan was serious.

The remainder of Carter's life has been spent in an effort to create a legacy for himself, and had he stuck with building homes and raising funds for disaster relief, he might have made a lot of progress. Instead, his arrogance demanded that he try to raise himself up by savaging others. It hasn't worked.
