Trix, you left off Jimmy&#039;s best efforts post presidency- <a href="http://www.cartercenter.org..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.cartercenter.org/health/index.html">http://www.cartercenter.org... The man has done so much to eliminate various third world diseases that absolutely devastate those areas- I&#039;d put this far ahead of his Habitat for Humanity work (not that he hasn&#039;t done wonders there also too)
I was lucky enough to spend a week with him and his wife at a private event for the center a few years back and got time to talk to both of them (it was them, a bunch millionaires there for the auction and to hobnob, the secret service and a couple of us lowly A/V techs- zero security hassles because we were so isolated that if you were inside, you weren&#039;t a threat). I listened to him talk about all the work his center is doing to cure things like river blindness and break bone disease and watched him raise 2 million dollars in 2 hours for the cause- beats the hell out of painting nekkid selfies like the most recent ex-pres
Yep. The extremists knew under Ronnie not to storm our <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1983_United_States_embassy_bombing" target="_blank">embassies</a>.
One time a business associate and I were pounding beers in the club car of the NYC-DC Metroliner on our way back from an ultimately unsuccessful visit to New York, and my associate was telling me how great Reagan was, free markets, low taxes, yadda-yadda.
I said, &quot;When a country wants to show the world its elections are free and fair, they don&#039;t invite <i>Reagan</i> to come and observe them,&quot; and my companion was enraged, confounded, befuddled. It was sweet.
Plus you gotta love the way Carter puts his thumb in the Israeli expansionists&#039; eye every chance he gets. When you give them an (apparently interminable) &quot;peace process,&quot; you got the moral authority to do that shit.
he is a hell of a woodworker
&quot;That rabbit&#039;s got a vicious streak a mile wide.&quot;
Carter? Wasn&#039;t he appointed by Hitler? or was it Ho Chi Min? Thank god Reagan came in and cleaned things up, amirite?
Yup. Seriously old-school, innit?
Yeah, but has he stopped <i>lusting after women in his heart</i>? The perv.
&quot;Rabbits are assholes&quot;
especially the ones from Caerbannog

he wasn&#039;t nearly the president that he&#039;s become as an ex-president, that&#039;s for sure

And Teddy Kennedy souring the whole liberal wing of the Democratic Party on Carter.
that didn&#039;t help either
I can only imagine, and then laugh hysterically, at what dubya is going to be like if/when he hits 89.
Jimmy...you were the first president I voted for and I would do the same over and over again. You are my hero.
MRA will be MIA.
