I was pissed in 1980 that I was only 17, and therefore couldn't vote for Reagan against Jimmeh the Dhimmi. What a fucking tool. He's never met dictator he wouldn't gladly get on his knees behind and felch; never met a strong American foreign policy initiative that wouldn't cause his fucking bloomers to get in a twist. History's Greatest Monster, indeed! And to think I actually hammered nails for Habitat for Humanity a few times . . .

I saw them too, when Michael Schenker was playing lead. They killed. Never thought Carter would be into that kind of music. Pictured him more as a Arlo Guthrie/James Taylor kind of guy.

I voted for him :(

To this day, though, I can still rationalize that vote with the fact the alternative was Gerald Ford.

I have an attack of malaise every time I think about that turd.

It took me five minutes to figure out what kjones was talking about.

That's one subtle, obscure reference there, bub.

Yup, I remember ole Jimmah. The interest rate on my first house was 18.5%, he gave away the Panama Canal so the Chinese could buy the controlling interest, and, while stationed overseas, we didn't know if we were going to get paid.

Many in the military, at the suggestion of the Carter administration, "Voted with their feet" and left a huge gap in the NCO ranks. It took over 5 years to fill that gap.

He will eventually be rated among the 5 worst Presidents of the US.

And what the fuck would you Blue Country urbanites know about UFO sightings?

Out here in the sticks, we're so lousy with aliens that's it's near impossible to to find a weekend parking place at the Farm & Fleet because of all the goddamn sport utility saucers.

Ol'Jimmuh came and spoke at a bookstore near me a couple weeks back, promoting his latest book about how Republicans are a bunch of god-struck crypto-nazis. The line of adoring autograph hounds was down the block and around the corner. I swear, you could get rich selling these people big, weightless bags of invisible cash.

With all due respect, MCPO, I'd like to hear you name four presidents worse than Carter. I can only come up with three, although you might talk me around on Millard Fillmore.

What's the mpg for a sport utilty saucer?

Was this before or after he was attacked by the killer rabbit?

As someone said recently... isn't it amazing how since everyone and their brother is now carrying around a camcorder, UFO sightings have dropped to zero?

Hey, at least you guys only had four years of Carter. His son is thinking about running for the Senate in my state, so I might get six more years of Carter-tude.

Which, hey, I guess I could always move to California...

Jimmy carter loks more he came off a UFO was he real born in PLAINS GEORGIA or ROSWELL NEW MEXICO?

And yet, Carter is still a more popular president than Dubya.

"I voted for him :(

To this day, though, I can still rationalize that vote with the fact the alternative was Gerald Ford."

Thed two worst Prez. votes I ever cast were for Jimmuh in 76 and Bubba in 92. NEVER AGAIN will I vote for a Democrat for Prez.

"With all due respect, MCPO, I'd like to hear you name four presidents worse than Carter. I can only come up with three, although you might talk me around on Millard Fillmore."

That's a slam dunk: in no particular order, Buchanan, Fillmore, Pierce, Harding, Clinton, Hayes, Grant, Andrew Johnson, Wilson.

Of course, when it comes to determining the most santimonious, self-righteous prig in US history, Jimmah wins, hands down.

And yet, Carter is still a more popular president than Dubya.

And yet, Dubya was re-elected, which is more than you can say for Jimmuh.

A while back I was googling for pictures of Jimmy Carter to do a cartoon about him and found this gem of pure, full-on, Democrat pussytude.

Sniff. Poor Jimmy Carter.

Jeez, those drawings make Ted Rall look like Leonardo. I could draw better with my feet.

Good find.

Sniff...

And yet, Carter is still a more popular president than Dubya.

Really? In what alternate universe was Carter the Rabbit-Killer re-elected?

Or, once again, are you Dems basing this whole 'popularity' thing on polls instead of actual electoral victories?

I was IN the Army when Carter was pres. He was the reson I didn't re-enlist. I couldn't be sure that Americans wouldn't be stupid enough to throw him out. Army morale wasn't just low, it was non-existent.

Jeez, those drawings make Ted Rall look like Leonardo. I could draw better with my feet.

No way, man. This is pure art. You've got to consider the message... the balding, bearded father angrily proclaiming that there's no way we'll be better off in four years without Carter before sadly tucking in his little "tiger"...

...the mousy family stuck in the malaise...

...the sad little boy who is emotionally crushed that Ronald Reagan beat the ever living daylights out of Carter in the polls...

And the punchline. "Sniff. Poor Jimmy Carter." Man, the drawing has GOT to suck in order to tie all those threads together into the perfect storm of pussified American liberalism.

The only thing that could make this comic better would be the fact that the artist posted it in reaction to Dubya's re-election. Oh, wait, that's true too:

November 2004: With the sad news of the election, let's go back in time to my reaction to the 1980 election.

Damn, Sortelli - with all due respect to the Special Olympics and its participants, that's some bad cartooning.

My 11 year old daughter draws better, and it appears, based on the drooling story lines in some of his serials, that she's also a lot smarter than him, as well.

Y'know, we're all trashing Carter, but let's give him credit for one thing: that trance lady did find the plane.

The UFO story is debunked on
www.debunker.com, go to
the UFO section.

The find-the-plane story, I'm told, is this:
the CIA ran a 'legend' of psychics finding
secret Soviet stuff to camouflage the
genuine way they found the stuff (such as
this plane) -- high level agents-in-place
whose security could be compromised if
their very existence was suspected. The
Soviets were suckers for ESP and psi
phenomenon (as was Senator 'Stillborn' Pell,
but that's another story), and could be counted
on to swallow the phony cover story. Ditto
Carter. No serious agent-runner is going to
compromise the existence of such an asset
to such a careless blabbermouth.

Thanks for the link, Jim, I love those skeptic sites. Found the article, too, looks like Carter just saw Venus and was confused.

And Carter beat the hell out of that bunny. So, he's got that going for him.

What? I thought he poked it with a paddle and ran like hell.

From the crazed swamp bunny.

I thought he beat it with the paddle. Eh, what do I know, I was about six.

Really? In what alternate universe was Carter the Rabbit-Killer re-elected?

Lee,
To be fair, you have to compare them with their opponents. RWR vs. JFK?

By the way, who's the best guy you've jammed with up there, lately?

Brown Line: 9 presidents allegedly worse than Jimmy Peanut: "Buchanan, Fillmore, Pierce, Harding, Clinton, Hayes, Grant, Andrew Johnson, Wilson"

Of these, I'm going to risk a heresy trial and state that Harding and Clinton were not THAT bad in comparison. Further, I'd count Grant as actually a pretty good president. The corruption under Grant (and Harding) wasn't really the fault of the President but a lack of control over key buddies. (A bit like the Prez we currently have now...) Plus, Grant - like Bush - was trying to fight a terrorist movement, namely the KKK, which was a lot closer to home than al-Qaeda is now. There are rather a lot of parallels between Grant and Bush, from the booze to the treacherous Democrat opposition, which do bear looking into.

Johnson and Hayes had the problems of being hamstrung by politics not of their own making, so whatever programs they had, they couldn't implement them. Admittedly Johnson's program was basically to let the South bring back slavery under the form of the Black Codes (look 'em up - they were even WORSE than Jim Crow). Still, Lincoln deserves some of the "credit" for choosing that assclown in the first place.

Woodrow "Afterbirth of a Nation" Wilson was the closest the US has ever gotten to an actual Nazi in the top job. He should have fallen into his coma in 1912 and let his wife run things THEN. But he did leave the country in a stronger position worldwide than it was when he took it. Also, he can share blame with the egotists in the Elephant Party for not sorting out who was supposed to run against him.

Fillmore was only in charge for half the Taylor presidency, so I can't say what he did that was so bad. Although I can say that his Whig Party was a party that was founded against strong presidencies, so it was compromised when it actually had to run the nation. Also, from what I've read of Taylor, it's a pity he died so early.

That leaves the Abbott and Costello of prewar presidency, Pierce-n-Buchanan. "There's nothing for it but to get drunk", as the former would say. "Or go Mormon huntin'", as the latter would say. "I can't defend either of those assholes", I say.

Also, you forgot Nixon and -Lyndon- Johnson.

So I'd put Pierce and Buchanan before Carter - and what the hell, I'm not capable of defending Andy Johnson, so let's throw him in too. Nixon, LBJ, and Wilson are hanging closely in the wings, for being disasters in the long term, although there are positive notes to be struck here too.

Remember carters incedent with the rabbit? dose that mean he is afraid to go out on easter and scared to eat TRIX cereal and is scared of BUGS BUNNY?
