Why is Joe Scabrous having a go at Jimmy Carter?

[Crunchy Frog]

He seems to be using Bush's current "troubles" as an excuse to rehash decades old stories about Carter's presidency that have absolutely no relevance.

Jimmy Carter got in trouble because he told the truth. * gets into trouble for lying. But of course, Carter has to serve as the whipping boy for *'s lapses.

Turning off the TV now.:argh:

1. I turned the channel

He sounded so silly trying to compare the two.

Carter was not dangerous or dumb.

We now have a pure idiot in the WH.

4. There's absolutely no comparison between the two men.

I didn't see how bringing up Carter was even remotely relevant. I guess since they both had "troubled" presidencies. :eyes: Of course, Nixon had a troubled presidency and was extremely unpopular in his second term, but it would never occur to Scabrous to look there for comparisons.

I need to learn to get to my "off" switch more quickly after the end of KO.

2. Dead Intern Joe is about

the most inconsistent one out there - he had a good run for a few months bashing Bush and the GOP, even wore KO type glasses for a bit but I guess, once a GOP slut, always a GOP slut.

3. He has to prove he is balanced by finding any thing at all to bash a Dem on.

13. What a terrific show - one of the best I ever saw her do...

[Nikki Stone1]

14. I've been totally in love with that woman for years

I'll have to see it. I haven't watched much TV so I didn't realize it was on.

Trashing an honest man comes naturally!:mad:

8. ya turn off the tv

i`m playing the "face to face" album by the kinks on the old turntable.....listening to "dandy".....

9. While it's true the economy sucked under Carter,

he didn't exactly inherit a strong economy from Nixon and Ford before him.

I remember Nixon and his attempts at price controls, most notably, his 90 day wage and price freeze in 1971. I remember Ford and his "Whip Inflation Now" (WIN) campaign.

Out where I'm from, most of these history-ignorant dufuses think the bad economic times of the 1970s was all Carter's doing.

12. a lot of that was a stupid Federal Reserve Board

They pursued insane policies that pushed interest rates to sky-high levels.

10. Pretty shabby debate...

but I LOVE Abi Stoddard. She is a REAL journo. All the guests thought it was crap though.

[Cleita]

11. Yeah, before I was able to switch the channel he started in

on the "mad bunny" story. Talk about having to really reach back into the past for shit. How soon before they start turning on Eleanor Roosevelt again. Oh, I forgot they have Hillary.

15. This seems to be the hardright's latest thing ..

attacking Carter. So far I can't find the link, but I'm positive several of the sites were attacking Carter recently (e.g. the 'truth' about Carter or something).

16. I thought I was the only one who called him "Scabrous"!

Great minds ... :toast:
