Carter: Sympathy For The Devil

Apparently, the idiot peanut farmer has done it again - given an interview, this time to Germany's 'Der Speigel' - in which he denigrates America - again - and President Bush - again. David Limbaugh takes him to task in this piece, while in a piece entitled,
'Georgian Off His Mind: Jimmy Carter Strikes Again', Jay D. Homnick says, "There are so many sad things to write about today but we all need the cathartic diversion of a true laughingstock, so let us talk about Jimmy Carter. Carter, by all biological indications, is still alive, so we may speak of him ill. Very, very, incurably ill." adding, "This collection of boobs, kooks and crooks took us down a garden path that led into a swamp. The prime lending rate rose higher than 15%, making it virtually impossible to acquire a home. Unemployment hovered near ten percent, leaving one tenth of our citizens skulking in alleyways, looking either for trouble or despair. No solution was offered by the President and his resident geniuses beyond the recommendation to come to terms with America’s newly abbreviated capacities.

"The military capacity of this country shrank to a nullity. When sixty-six Americans were held hostage at our embassy in Teheran for 444 days by mobs affiliated with the Islamic revolt in Iran, we stood by helpless and humiliated. When a rescue was finally attempted by landing eight helicopters in a nearby desert, a few of the helicopters became incapacitated by the landing and the project was hastily aborted. All of this came after the Carter administration had essentially stood by while the Muslim rebels deposed the Shah, last in a 2,500-year line of Persian monarchs." (And look where that got us - a lunatic running the asylum called Iran, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, and is working on developing nuclear weapons technology, and provides material and monetary support to terrorists, such as Hezbollah among others. Good job, Jimmy! But I digress -there's more.)

"This is the Jimmy Carter who today writes books and gives interviews in derogation of the policies of President Bush in prosecuting the war against Islamic terror. His recent remarks to Der Spiegel do not reflect new trends in his thought; he told the American Prospect in the month after the March 2003 invasion of Iraq that it was done by Bush for his own aggrandizement."

I agree completely with Mr. Homnick when he says that, "The man is a fool at best and a menace at worst.", and I'll add that Carter is delusional, in that he still thinks he has political relevance - which he does not, and never had - and that he speaks for a majority of Democrats - which I hope he does not, as that would be truly scary in the extreme!
