Who’s Afraid of Jimmy Carter?

The provocative former president shadows Obama as a walking McCain talking point. But having lived longer than he ever imagined possible, Carter has no interest in reining himself in.

A better question is Who Wishes Jimmy Carter Had Been Ground Into the Dirt By An Israeli Bulldozer at Birth? STONE HIM! But it wasn't. The point of this New York Magazine waste of wood pulp is to make, I guess, sense of  how a peace loving peoples like Jummy could find himself used as an antidote to the deadly virus Obamus Punkassis? “ Given Carter’s devotion to peaceful agreement among parties, it is interesting how frequently conflict seeks him out. And while Carter is going about his habitual workweek at the center, outside this hermetic, self-created world, he and his political legacy have suddenly been pulled blinking onto center stage by John McCain’s presidential campaign. By June 9, six days after Obama secured the nomination (and Carter’s endorsement), McCain had found his sound bite. In an interview on NBC Nightly News, apropos of nothing, McCain said, “Senator Obama says that I’m running for Bush’s third term. It seems to me he’s running for Jimmy Carter’s second.” Then again, nine days later, McCain told an audience at a Chicago fund-raiser that Obama’s policies made him “think if [Obama] would be elected, it’d be a second Jimmy Carter term.” That same week, in a speech on energy policy given in Houston, McCain, referring to Obama’s energy plans, said, “If the plan sounds familiar, it’s because that was President Jimmy Carter’s big idea, too—and a lot of good it did us.” A few days later, McCain told the Las Vegas Sun that “Carter was a lousy president … This is the same guy who kissed Brezhnev.” ”   I doubt there's a single piece of ripe fruit to be found here, but look if you want.  I just liked the picture, and the premise that Carter is somehow a victim.  It's also another opportunity to say what a disgusting piece of corn studded poop Jimmy Carter is while he's still alive, and  I can't be accused of showing disrespect to his rotting corpse.
