JIMMY CARTER IRRELEVANT?
In a telephone interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Friday, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said President George W. Bush has eliminated the line between church and state and has abandoned Americaís basic values:
"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history. The overt reversal of Americaís basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me."
In response, White House spokesman Tony Fratto on Sunday said, "I think he [Carter] is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."
Maybe I'm missing something here, but if Carter was irrelevant, wouldn't the White House simply choose not to comment on his statements (sort of like I choose not to read anything about an anorexic hotel heiress' latest run in with the law or a past his prime quarterback's latest comments about how he wants to be traded one day and not the next)?

Bushie continues to demonstrate that he is the most arrogant man to ever hold the Presidency. Ignoring the Constitution. Ignoring the Geneva Convention. Ignoring the advice of his own father.
I have always admired Mr. Carter. In any case, he is right, and completely relevant.
President Carter, whom Mikal and I met in St. Louis at a student conference in the early 90's, is one of the most relevant persons in politics and international affairs in the world today. Bush, as history no doubt will show, will be one of the most irrelevant presidents in our collective history. President Carter was right. Lee McD
Sorry Mr McD....This poor old senile man should have never left his peanut farm. The world did not just start hating us when Bushy arrived in office. I am really pissed at alot of what Bushy has done but hands down, Carter has proved he is the "worst" president we have had so far. He leaves disaster in his wake everwhere he goes. He loves bashing the USA when he is on foreign soil....Thanks for nothing JIM
