Get Carter

Captain's Quarters was up early this morning posting news of a CNN interview with Jimmy Carter. But the post stirs up a question that seems to repeat itself every time the man is in the news, does anyone Get Carter? Remember he is the 400 day hostage siege President that made radicals in Tehran believe they could manipulate the US and emboldened Islamic radicals everywhere. He responded to the USSR invasion of Afghanistan as the Moral Equivalent Of War [meow]. He conceded the 1980 election early, thereby blowing democrat turnout on the left coast. Now he did broker a deal between Israel and Egypt that has held up, but the North Korea deal he brokered (the Trust and Don't Verify diplomacy) puts the world in graver danger -- and right on cue the Nobel Committee rewarded the incompetence with a peace prize. Don't forget that he staged a father of the party session with Howard Dean at the peanut farm in Plains,GA to anoint Dean as the Democrat presumptive nominee. Again, does anyone Get Carter?
