Ghost, I first met Jimmy Carter face to face in a neighbors living room in 1966 when he was a up and coming politician from the most backwards and impoverished part of Georgia. Later a classmate and cousin of mine married one of his sons, bearing Carter two grandkids. They have since divorced. Later, another neighbor and lay minister in my church became Carter's "best friend" and political operative, serving in Carters cabinet both in Atlanta and later in Washington. When Carter went to Washington a whole bunch of folks I know went with him and stayed for the duration. I have followed the Carter saga with great interest ever since. And believe me, folks much more closely associated with him 25 years ago talk about the experience. Of this I am convinced: Carter was probably Georgia's worst governor (in modern times anyway as we have had some real winners) and without a doubt our worst president ever. The damage he did to this country is extensive. He is right about the Palestinians, of course, but it has taken the fool all these years to figure this out. That is just like him. And now that he has had this "revelation" he pursues it with single minded determination. I remember laughing my butt off back in the early 1970's when Carter was governor, listening to our state representative tell my uncle how he wanted to punch Carter in the nose, so frustrated this man was with Carter. He said that when you would go into Carter's office with a request or any comment that Carter had a way of just sitting there and staring at you with this stupid smile on his face (showing all those teeth) and Carter not hearing a thing you said. And this from a man who was very instrumental in putting Carter in the governor's mansion. Slagle
