CARTER?

From Drudge:

This morning on Fox's "Fox and Friends," former Indiana Democrat congressman and 9/11 commissioner Tim Roemer called on President Bush to name former President Jimmy Carter to the head of efforts to rebuild New Orleans.

Roemer told the stunned hosts: "The second thing we should do is put somebody like former President Jimmy Carter in charge of rebuilding New Orleans."


Tim Roemer needs to have a thorough mental health examination performed immediately. I fear the man has lost touch with reality. He could pose a danger to himself and the rest of society.

Anyone who would think that Jimmy Carter would be capable of supervising the rebuilding of New Orleans has serious problems. Really.

Carter revealed himself to be a disaster as president. It took years to undo the damage Carter inflicted on America in the four years that he was in the White House.

The thought of Carter being in charge of the monumental task of reconstructing New Orleans gives me chills.

Would he enlist his buddy Fidel to lend a hand?

Would he insist that the UN approve all building plans?

I have no problem with Jimmy going there to hammer some nails. Beyond that however, it would be a screw up of mammoth proportions to give him any more responsibility than that.

I thought that one reason we study history is so we don't repeat mistakes.

It's time for some to hit the books, starting with a chapter on the Carter presidency.
