Jimmy Carter is a Real Jerk

I have never agreed with Jimmy Carter on much and believe that he is one of the worst presidents this country has ever seen, but I always thought he had class and was a genuinely good guy…until now.

Carter has gone on the attack accusing John McCain of “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his POW time in Vietnam. Is he serious?

If anything John McCain has down played his POW experience and can you blame him. I am sure some of the memories are not all that pleasant from his POW days.

Where was Jimmy Carter’s criticism during the last presidential election? Kerry could not go half an hour without reminding us he served in Vietnam.

Even if John McCain is “milking it for every possible drop of advantage,” I say why not? After all, it is a pretty compelling story and a significant event that helps explain who McCain is today.

What would Carter know about it anyway? Carter was farming and eating peanuts trying to make a decision whether or not to run for governor in Georgia while John McCain was in being tortured for five and a half years.

Jimmy Carter should zip it and go back to the peanut farm he came from in Georgia. Just a tasteless disgraceful act.
