I was wrong

Shocking, I know.

I once said that even though Jimmy Carter was a horrible president, that as a person I'd be happy to invite him into my home because he was a decent man. This was in contrast to Clinton, who I thought was a much better president, but not as decent. Forget it, Jimmy. I rescind the dinner invitation.

Maybe Jacques will invite him instead?

That was a well written piece, and it's no secret he's liberal. Carter was too nice a guy to be president, but he's been a fine representative of our nation as an ex-president. Calling on our representatives to do a better job of exposing the ideals of America (and not the "for us, against us" approach) isn't such a bad idea.

What's wrong with that?

I used to think he was too nice to be president too, but I've changed my mind. Now I think he's too small-minded and mean-spirited. His liberalness is not the problem. It's the way he chooses to express it and where. While that piece was definitely not the worst he's said, it was for me the last straw.

Carter, in representing our nation as an ex-president has undermined his successor and his successor's goals and policies, by misrepresenting them here and abroad.

An ex-president has a special duty still to his country, don't you think? Who would have ever predicted that of the two "redneck" ex-presidents, it would be Clinton who is the classy one?

I think Clinton's always been a classy guy. He can't keep his zipper up, but other than that, a class act. You really get the feeling he likes people.
