Hi there flapjack, That's a great article, thanks so much. I hadn't been aware of that news item and think that Carter speaks for a lot of people, particularly for moderate Dems like me who, while disappointed in the election outcome, hoped that Bush would surround himself with seasoned moderates and listen to them. This quote from the article really hit me: 'I thought he would be a moderate leader,'' Carter said, ''but he has been very strictly conforming to some of the more conservative members of his administration - his vice president [Dick Cheney] and his secretary of defense [Donald Rumsfeld] in particular. More moderate people like Colin Powell have been frozen out of the basic decision-making in dealing with international affairs.''

So disgraced, failed ex-Prez Jimmy Carter further disgraces himself. Just when you'd think Carter couldn't get any lower he exceeds himself. With his record he should just shut up and hope people forget his complete record of failure. It would be scary if anyone was dumb enough to take him seriously. I still remember Carter complaining that Reagan never called him for any advice. Sure, like Reagan would call that loser. Bush41 and even Clinton shunned Carter too. Bush's only mistake was to allow that creep to attend his inauguration.
