History's worst president attacks a better man

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - The White House on Sunday fired back at former President Jimmy Carter, calling him "increasingly irrelevant" a day after Carter described George W. Bush's presidency as the worst in history in international relations.

Carter, a Democrat, said on Saturday in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that "as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."

White House spokesman Tony Fratto had declined to react on Saturday but on Sunday fired back.

"I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless personal criticism is out there," Fratto told reporters. "I think it's unfortunate. And I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."

I'm afraid that I can't agree with the White House on this one. Carter can not become increasingly irrelevant since he maxed out on irrelevance a long time ago. In fact he pegged the irrelevance meter even before he left the White House.

What Carter can do is make himself even more angry, even more bitter, and even more small as he vents his resentment at the realization that his life's only legacy will be one of pathetic and contemptible failure.

It is clear that the left-wing mainstream media does not care anything about Carter. If they did they would stop giving him a forum in which to further diminish himself.
