Since we threw him out, Carter has installed a communist dictator to rule Haiti and has given nuclear materials to N. Korea in partnership with Clinton. He has worked tirelessly against policies to defend the United States and for policies that promote our enemies. He's gone beyond incompetent to evil. If you like him so much, why not bring him in to run your shitty little country?

Well here's something Carter said, is this guy a mental midget or what. Knaves: Former President Jimmy Carter, for ignorance of America's first war and politicization of its current war. Earlier this week, Mr. Carter was on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews." Mr. Matthews asked his guest if, as an amateur historian, he sees any parallels between the war in Iraq and the Revolutionary War. Mr Carter: "Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War more than any other war until recently has been the most bloody war we've fought." Stop right there. For a former president and author of a book on the Revolutionary War, Mr. Carter is amazingly ignorant of American history. Mr. Carter is getting up there in years, so we'll give his "until recently" a bit of a pass. But for the record, in the Revolutionary War which took place from 1775 to 1783 there were 4,435 American deaths. In a single battle in the Civil War (The Wilderness, May 5 to May 7, 1864), Gen. Ulysses S. Grant lost 17,666 men in two days. Wait, it gets worse: "I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war." What could possibly account for this falsehood? Well, here's the rest: "Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive ... we would gotten our independence in a non-violent way ... the British were very misled in going to war against America ... " So, by Mr. Carter's revisionism, a shortage of sensitivity and bad intelligence led the British to wage an eight-year, "unnecessary" war. Sound familiar? For reminding Americans why they kicked him out of the White House, Mr. Carter is the Knave of the week.
