King funeral ... please stop

I cannot begin to express how stupid the conservative response is to the peanut farmer. After years and years of the liberal whine machine, have we not learned that whining only turns people off?

Ladies and Gentlemen ... former (one term, thank God) president Jimmy Carter was arguably one of the worst 5 presidents OF ALL TIME. The guy was a total bungling idiot. Why the hell does ANYBODY care what that idiot has to say (with the possible exception of other idiots)?

Think about this ... during the 2004 campaign the democrats got together all the former (democrat) presidents on one stage ... remember? NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, wanted to get anywhere near Carter. They had bodyguards around Kerry to prevent anybody getting a picture of him in the same frame as Carter, since a "reminder" like that to the American people would have been a kiss of death! Remember the convention ... they locked him in a booth with Michael Moore!?

I remember a commentary from somebody in the Reagan administration that knocked it out of the park ... the administration official was asked about concerns that Carter expressed because Reagan had not consulted him (the peanut farmer) on anything. The reply, which I am sure was only possible after a resounding, belly splitting laugh ... was that if Reagan wanted advice on how to weaken our national stature, get interest rates back up to 15%+, get inflation back in double digits, etc ... he would give Jimmy a call.

Carter is simply living up to his "former" president position with all the competence he did as president.

So what should the response be?

I'm thinking that instead of hammering Carter, Republicans ought to do everything they can to get this guy talking as much as possible. I mean, he's totally deranged ... after that whole Iran disaster, getting up and criticizing somebody else on how to handle a foreign crises????

Besides ... the more Jimmy Carter and Algore and Dean we get ... the more secure the upcoming elections will be.

And that preacher ... oh baby ... tee that one up too! The only people that a goof like that is convincing is the choir. Normal people have a gut-wrenching response to crap like "don't spend money on war, give it to the poor". Again, the more he talks, the more we win.

But first, we just have to shut up about Carter ... with the exception of reminding everybody exactly who he is and what his record is.
