Carter: “I think this meal would be far more tasty were we to get rid of that ridiculous blintz—and were we to make sure the cheeseburger was sufficiently humbled and didn’t presume to interfere with the rich commingling of the rest of the cuisine, which I have on good authority is far more sophisticated.”*

One of the worst?
OK–MAYBE Buchanan, but it’s either the gold or the silver.
Agree with Jules critique, with the obvious addition that few US Presidents have added any glory to their names in the way we have dealt with Iran since Carter. But Carter framed the mindset we are dealing against now. And to what extent they are correct (see Democrats–run, cut and) remains to be seen. Obviously the recent vote to hightail it out of Iraq by Congress did us no favor in dealing with that mindset.
What inanimate object will you ‘humorously’ turn George W. Bush into?
Why do you ‘care’?
I loathe Carter – but some cheeseburgers do need humblin’.
I had to chuckle at “a” over at Jules’ site showing his fanny, just like here…

Witlessness knows no bounds.
Sorry Wishbone but as a history major I would rate Carter as #3 worst president. In order:
1) Buchanan
2) Harding
3) Carter
4) Filmore
5) Harrison – Only because he didn’t have the sense to come in out of the rain
Now I have to get back to work cleaning toilets. Oh well, At least I get to supervise English Lit majors.
Take care
Say what you will, but Koo was one hell of a soccer player.
I’ll take dimbulb crook over indescribably inept any day.
My #2 ruling stands (I was a history minor).
Herbert Hoover was a great humanitarian, saving thousands of Russians from starvation in the 1920s. Then he became a failed President. I call him Jimmy Carter in reverse.
Except wasn’t it Belgians that Hoover saved from starvation? And let’s face it, it isn’t like the world needs more Belgians.
Stupid Belgians.
Except for the waffles.
And the beer. And the Belgian Fries.
Well, I don’t know if he did much of anything for the Belgians, but he did help the Russians, even though they’d gone Bolshy at that point.
Alphie wrote at Jules site:
I noticed in the comments that Alphie’s as much an idiot there as he is here (no surprise). Once again he tries to change the subject without ever addressing the substance of Jules commentary. Jules talks about how Carter’s policies emboldened the Iranian mullahs and therefore has direct consequences today (which he’s correct about), but Alphie turns it around and wants to talk about our support for the Shah. In other words, instead of admitting Carter was an unmitigated failure on several levels, as well as condemning the mullahs for taking Americans hostage in 1979, or the British in 2007, Alphie blames America once again. I guess in Alphie’s world, it’s fine to take Americans hostage, as long as you’re fighting against the “Great Satan”. One wonders how this guy can even stand to wake up to another sunrise in such a despicable country. So why do you even do it Alphie? Obviously you’re miserable. You know…Canada is just right up the street.
He won’t move to Canada, because if push came to shove, they wouldn’t fight to protect his freedoms. Well, unless you count swinging hockey sticks menacingly as national defense.
Hell, Guy LaFleur could’ve taken alphie.
And Guy’s nickname was “The Flower”.
