Peanut Gallery [Dan Collins]

A couple of days ago, one of us–a regular commenter, I believe–in response to a droll but penetrating observation I’d made about the GOP, said something to the effect that:

a Democrat president and Congress could really, truly fuck things up.

God.  I lived through Carter once. I can’t go through that again.

Well, the Islamist-sucking sycophant is back, and criticising the Bush administration as:

“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.”

You know, it’s almost as though he’s experiencing a crisis of confidence, or some kind of malaise.  The thing that always pulls me out of that is the lust in my heart, that I have there.  In my heart.



Bully!

What?  That’s gross?  Oh, sorry.  It’s Saturday night, isn’t it?  Well, here’s Sarah Silverman and a couple of friends.  NOT SAFE FOR HOME.

    Meanwhile, in a bunker outside Isfahan, centrifuges hum quietly, refining the yellow metal for the psychotic theocrats that this wonderful fellow helped into power.  The first mushroom cloud will have his name all over it.

    Yeah, let’s all listen to this Saudi-funded goober fuckhead.

  2. Andrea Porkin says:

    That’s an insult to bulldogs. Winston Churchill looked like a bulldog. Carter looks more like this.

    In the name of God, the Benificent and Merciful, could you please make the first picture smaller? Roughly the size of the third one might be bearable. My cat just had kittens, and I don’t want to frighten the poor babies.

    Please.

    For the love of God, Montresor!”

    Yes. For the love of God.”

    Unprecedented?

    2002-09-05

    Formerly admired almost universally as the preeminent champion of human rights, our country has become the foremost target of respected international organizations concerned about these basic principles of democratic life.

    2003-02-21

    Former President Jimmy Carter blamed U.S. policy in the Middle East for creating animosity abroad, but he stopped short of taking a stand on war with Iraq.

    2003-11-12

    Opening a conference of international human rights workers, the Nobel peace laureate said an erosion of civil liberties in the United States has “given a blank check to nations who are inclined to violate human rights already.”

    2004-03-22

    Jimmy Carter, the former US president, has strongly criticised George Bush and Tony Blair for waging an unnecessary war to oust Saddam Hussein based on “lies or misinterpretations”.

    2005-04-14

    Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Thursday harshly criticized his own country and other wealthy states for being stingy with foreign aid and said in rich countries “We really don’t give a damn.”

    2005-11-02

    The Bush Administration’s prewar claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction were “manipulated, at least” to mislead the American people, former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday.

    2005-11-11

    For decades the US has supported the Geneva convention saying we won’t torture prisoners, but he says now “our senators are voting to keep torture. It’s inconceivable this would happen in the United States of America.” Carter also says American politics is being infused with what he calls “fundamentalist” religion.

    2006-02-07

    “Under the Bush administration, there’s been a disgraceful and illegal decision – we’re not going to the let the judges or the Congress or anyone else know that we’re spying on the American people,” Carter told reporters. “And no one knows how many innocent Americans have had their privacy violated under this secret act.”

    2006-08-05

    “In my opinion, maybe the worst ally Israel has had in Washington has been the George W. Bush administration, which hasn’t worked to bring a permanent peace to Israel,” Carter told the newspaper.

    2006-08-27

    Former President Jimmy Carter accused Tony Blair on Sun of being “subservient” to the White House, saying the British prime minister failed to constrain America on Iraq.

    “It’s a shameful and pitiful state of affairs, and I hold your British prime minister to be substantially responsible for being so compliant and subservient,” Carter said.

    This.Is.What.He.Does.

  5. Dan Collins says:

    Ric,

    I’m sorry.  There’s nothing really more fundamentally nauseating than herringbone with a striped shirt and striped tie.  Revolting.

  6. Saul says:

    Jewish women are hot. I like these hot Israeli solder girls. I have a fantasy about some of them.

  7. dorkafork says:

    The “unprecedented” remark jumped out at me, too.  Certainly he’s made a lot of comments about the current Bush, I’m willing to bet you can find old quotes about HW Bush, Reagan, even Clinton:

    “I don’t think there’s any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon was attributable to large gifts, some of which he gave to Israel, other benefactors and the influence of his former wife, so I think that was, in my opinion, disgraceful,” Carter said, adding that Clifton had “brought discredit to the White House because of it.”

    And he irritated the Clintons back when Bill was still in office:

    But the Clinton Administration sort of froze him out after that because he was stealing too many headlines, was on the cover of the magazines, sometimes spoke to CNN prematurely. And Madeleine Albright in the second Clinton Administration would call and consult with Carter, but they tried to keep him at arm’s distance from even a country that was not significant to American security like Sudan…

    Not to mention the letter he wrote to various UN officials encouraging them to oppose the first Gulf War.

    I have to wonder if he criticized Arafat or Castro as much as he did sitting Presidents of the US.

  8. Spiny Norman says:

    Um, Saul, I think I want to convert.

    ;^)

  9. Spiny Norman says:

    dorkafork,

    Did Jimmah ever criticize Arafat or Castro? I’m thinking, no.

  10. Ric Locke says:

    ::sigh:: Yes, Dan, and the fit around the back of the neck is just disgraceful. Shuddery stuff.

    O well, I suppose I deserve it. No, I damned well do deserve it, since after all I did vote for the sanctimonious son of a bitch. It’s one of the things that convinces me I’ll have no need for a parka in the afterlife. One “aw shit!” counteracts a lot of “attaboy!”s. I have this glum conviction that an “oh for fuck’s sake!” of that magnitude would have Mother Teresa scrabbling for coins for Charon.

    Regards,

    Ric

    tw:ran73—no, it was ‘76, IIRC.

  11. Jeffersonian says:

    Just a point of info about Jimmeh in the Clinton admin – they thought enough about him to scuttle plans of sending Sam Nunn and Dick Lugar to North Korea in favor of the Great White Pigeon, where he immediately negotiated a toothless treaty whose denouement was a subterranean nuclear detonation.

    Carter: a scourge of the righteous, a stooge for the vile.

  12. MikeD says:

    One thing you can say for Jimmy Carter.  He is old and will probably die sooner rather than later.  Can’t happen soon enough.  What a bitter old piece of shit, and such a failure on every level. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

  13. Jeffersonian, interestingly the Clinton’s quickly regretted sending Carter as he actually “negotiated” something outside of his instructions and basically dared them to reject it.  Sadly they didn’t, but they knew that they had been burned.  He was not brought back in again.

    They all look like my oldest sons girlfriend.

    She’s a sweetie, and if he doesn’t marry her, he’s out of the will.

  15. N. O'Brain says:

    BTW, do bulldogs wear cardigans?

  16. N. O'Brain says:

    I’m off to watch Blazing Saddles and drink cheap beer.

    Cheerio!

    TW: Mel made some nast pictures55!

  17. Sean M. says:

    I wonder if I’m the only one who thinks that Sarah Silverman is the hottest part of that picture.

    That Jimmy Kimmel is one lucky sumbitch.

    I don’t think he was even ‘brought in’ that time, but insinuated his useless self into the situation, correctly calculating that Clinton wouldn’t give him the heave-ho. 

    I was about to say that Carter has never met a dictator he didn’t ache to get his pearly whites around, but then I remembered Pinochet.  Of course, Pinochet only murdered in the low four-digit range, didn’t drive his nation into grinding penury and was a friend of the West, so he was clearly one to shun and marginalize.

  19. SporkLift Driver says:

    You’re not the only one Sean.

    Do you think there will be a saw24?

    I think it will probably make it to 5 or 6.

  20. My cat just had kittens

    kitties!!!!!

  21. Ric Locke says:

    kitties!!!!!

    Five of them. Four look like their daddy, tuxedo black&white, and the fifth looks like turning out gray tabby. The excess cute has permanently stained the rug grin

    Regards,

    Ric

  22. ahem says:

    He looks more like a Boston Terrier to me.

  23. The excess cute has permanently stained the rug

    they aren’t barn cats?  my in-laws have one indoor cat and many outside/barn cats.  I’m debating getting another one.  Carlos came from them and is getting old. and I’d like to see if we can’t find one that would get along with the dog.  she doesn’t understand why the cats hate her. Much like Carter and terrorists. ;D

  24. mojo says:

    Not the Amontillado!…

  25. Ric Locke says:

    Bravo, mojo.

    Would you like a kitten? They’re quite fresh.

    I’ll build the campfire..

  27. Swen Swenson says:

    Okay, forget the campfire. Load this baby up with a few friends and plenty of cheap beer and you’ve got yourself a road trip!

  28. Swen Swenson says:

    Gives whole new meaning to the term “gas up” don’t it?

  29. Merovign says:

    1) Carter is a fucktard of the lowest order, on the order of “Journey to the Center of the Earth” low. But you all knew that, I just done gone showed up late and had to shoot off a bit of marginal repartee.

    2) Speaking of shooting off, and regarding the IDF Soldier Girls, I have fantasies for MOST of them. Almost all, in fact. Heck, call it all.

    3) Kitties! I’m one of those big bad tough hombres who visits Cute Overload a lot.

  30. Merovign says:

    Also with regard to the hot IDF babes – first page, picture seven.

    Two hot babes, swimsuit on one and the other with her pants loosened at the waist. A beach, a beer, a sunset. A loaded rifle. A kite flying in the background.

    By what cruel stretch of fate do I NOT live in that world every day?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

    It’s just not fucking fair, I tell you!

  31. Great Mencken's Ghost! says:

    Saul—I have to confess, I only watch NCIS for the hot Israeli chick.

    OK, that, and I’m still waiting for the ep where they suppress the exculpatory court-martial evidence for the Marines…

  32. happyfeet says:

    Reuters

    Carter has been an outspoken critic of Bush, but the White House has largely refrained from attacking him in return. Sunday’s sharp response marks a departure from the deference that sitting presidents traditionally have shown their predecessors.

  33. tommy says:

    Jimmah,

    You are criticizing Bush?

    Hostages.  Iran.  444 days.  You are the worst president this nation has ever seen.

    You lead us into economic doldrums, told us we’d have to settle for a lesser place in the world and taught us to despair and despise ourselves as a world power.

    You failed in every aspect of leadership.

    Shut up and build a house for habitat for humanity.  It is the only worthwhile thing you have done in your public life.

    Go pick up another check from your middle-eastern funders you traitor.

    Thanks,

    Tommy
