Beware, idiots walk the Earth

As referenced by Best of the Web and mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's Open Line Friday show, Jimmy Carter speaks:

The Troubling New Face of America

Formerly admired almost universally as the preeminent champion of human rights, our country has become the foremost target of respected international organizations concerned about these basic principles of democratic life.

Hey, didn't Carter once run for President?

Oh, that's right. He was president. The USSR invaded Afghanistan, I'm sure he spoke harshly at them. Iranians rose up and overthrew a despot, and put in his place a despotic regime, which in turn abducted a group of Americans and held them hostage; Carter used strong language...oh, and tried to micro-manage a flop of a rescue mission (remember Desert One?). The country slipped into malaise and we had double-digit inflation. Jimmy, with brother Billy, just said we had to get used to the fact that we would have to make do with less. And he brokered MidEast peace plans which have, by and large, completely fallen apart; he lectures endlessly.

Oops. I guess he's just not very good at actually doing something.

So, obviously, he's the one to listen to. Uh-huh.
