White House Calls Carter "Irrelevant"

After Former President Bashes Bush, White House Dismisses "Sad" Comments

(AP)  The White House on Sunday dismissed former President Jimmy Carter as "increasingly irrelevant" after his harsh criticism of President George W. Bush.

Carter was quoted Saturday as saying "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."

The Democrat said Bush had overseen an "overt reversal of America's basic values" as expressed by previous administrations, including that of his own farther, former President George H.W. Bush.

"I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless personal criticism is out there," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said Sunday from Texas, where Bush spent the weekend.

"I think it's unfortunate," Fratto said. "And I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."

Carter made the comments to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper's Saturday editions.

Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo confirmed his comments to The Associated Press on Saturday and declined to elaborate.

I agree! Good men have done nothing for the past 7 years.

What really bothers me about all this is that Carter bowed to pressure and didn't stick to his guns. Anyone with more than a double digit IQ can see that Bush II is a stain on the the oval office and the worst president we've EVER had. More high officials should speak up and tell the emperor he has no clothes.

Wow, marfells.

Guess your boy can do anything wrong he wants. You have a fine list of "Look What Others Have Done" to cover for him. Soooooo

Next time a bloody minded criminal breaks into your house, paws over your valuables, takes your kids, and shoots a hole through your woman's eyeball, remember! other criminals have done this before so he shouldn't be held accountable for his own actions. Just like your boy.

Given that your kind would never apply double standards, your list gives all criminals a free pass. Hope nothing happens to you personally, hate to see what a hypocrite you'd become.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

well you demonic-rats is it???

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry

dimmy carter leads The Chorus of Useful Idiots...

Leftist Support of Islamist Terror

Most shocking is the outright sympathy of many leftist-liberals for Islamic fascism. They said little about the murder of 500 Russian civilians, many of them children, but screamed week after week because some Arab savage at Abu Ghraib prison wore a bag on his head. They cared nothing about the beheadings committed by the Islamo-savages or the execution of 12 Nepalese. David Horowitz gives an excellent discussion of who this "Left" really is. He calls them neo-communist, I call them Leftist-Liberals. I'm a classical Liberal myself and I feel it's time to remove this irrational element that has been allowed to poison our good name.

Interesting that this administration should consider any past president of this country irrelevant, particularly one who has been awarded a Nobel prize for peace and is a role model for citizenship and humanitarianism. Furthermore, the opinions of every citizen in this country should be relevant to our "leaders". Perhaps, to this White House, only those who agree and approve are relevant. How sad for the Bush administration and for us that they can't listen and learn.
