Please Shut Up, Jimmy Carter!

It's my opinion that Jimmy Carter was one of the worst presidents in American history.

I get the feeling that overachiever Carter wasn't satisfied with his place in history.

I think it's fair to say that he has managed to become the worst former president the country has ever known.

Carter was likable as the Habitat for Humanity guy. I always thought that although he was a miserable failure as president, he was a decent human being with a good heart, and a proud American, a patriot.

I don't think that anymore.

The man is truly a disgrace.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- 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."

...Douglas Brinkley, a Tulane University presidential historian and Carter biographer, described Carter's comments as unprecedented.

"This is the most forceful denunciation President Carter has ever made about an American president," Brinkley said. "When you call somebody the worst president, that's volatile. Those are fighting words."

Carter also lashed out Saturday at British prime minister Tony Blair. Asked how he would judge Blair's support of Bush, the former president said: "Abominable. Loyal. Blind. Apparently subservient."

"And I think the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world," Carter told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Carter's comments are historic.

They're unprecedented.

Why?

No other former president has ever been so self-absorbed and so spiteful that he had the audacity to go on such a vicious attack against a sitting president. Never.

Jimmy Carter is absolutely disgusting.

Is he still teaching Sunday School?

I hope not.
