Mr. Irrelevant

Jummy and Nifong - Irrelevant


Carter's Nutzpah
Thanks to the dozen or so people who sent me various articles about Jummy's latest.  I like this one that asks whether Jummy's "gone off the deep end?"   Gone?  I  pulled this 1998 dated
Help Me - I an insane

PS (not mine) from the files.  As you can see, there was conjecture about his sanity even then.

While he was President, and this is just me thinking here,  Jummy was a sane but incompetent poseur.  I just recently discovered something..  Raise your hand if you think Jimmy Carter was a nuclear sub commander in the Navy.  Me too, until I read this .

Upon the death of his father in July 1953, however, Lieutenant Carter immediately resigned his commission and was discharged from the Navy on October 9, 1953.[6][7] This cut short his nuclear power training school and he was never able to command a nuclear submarine, as the first of the fleet was launched January 17, 1955, over a year after his discharge from the Navy.[8]

Yes he did serve on submarines.  Yes he was selected by Rickover to attend his fledgling nuclear sub school, but he never got there, never stepped on one. How did that illusion get started? Or survive for so long? It's little things like that which define his character. More. Carter chose to walk down Independence avenue to his inauguration ceremony, carrying a suitcase. Much, much later we found out the suitcase was empty. During his largely self induced energy crisis he rode Washington streets in the wee hours looking for government buildings with lights on. The responsible miscreants received a call from Jummy, just after the Washington Post was informed. Jummy is the show in "show over substance." But he wasn't insane.

What sent him over the edge big time, IMO was attending  Richard Nixon's funeral in 1994. Several observers noted that he seemed stunned by the plethora of favorable eulogies. Watergate was mentioned, but only as a historical footnote. Instead, Nixon's achievements held sway. I think right there Carter went insane. Right then he realized that his legacy was one of stunning failure. If the nearly impeached Richard Nixon was not treated as the worst President ever - Holy Crap! He owned the title. Jummy's campaign for a Nobel peace Prize was born on the spot.

Just two months later he persuaded a lost-at-sea  Clinton to send him on that mission to North Korea.  You know. The one where Jummy agreed that the United State's gummint would subsidize Kimmy's nuke building program? That one.

Jimmy would get his Nobel prize, not for any success, but rather for allying himself with leftist Europe and attacking a sitting U.S. President.  Europeans admire Quislings, which is why they have so many of their own.

Jimmy has written his own detailed funeral instructions, but deep in his inner peanut I'm sure he knows the event will trigger a hundred thousand Jimmy Carter jokes. That's his unalterable legacy For now, his disrepute is of such great proportion that I can afford to ignore him, the same way I've ignored Mike Nifong, a really bad person who nobody with sense will ever take seriously again.

Rodger, you educate as well as you entertain, and that's saying a lot. I thank you for that.

And yes, Carter is an anti-American socialist nutcase. Worst president ever.
