What SO blows me away about Carter (And I even "Gave" this to him when he was the POTUS) was that the man ISN'T an "Idiot" yet, he says the DUMBEST damn things!
That I disagree with about 99% of everything that comes out of the mans mouth and given that in these past couple of decades he's become something close to a DNC parrot doesen't change the fact that the dude WAS almost picked by Hiram Rickover to head the US nuclear submarine fleet as his (Rickover's) successor.
Carter's too smart to be talkin' that shit. I guess approval (From the dim scum he's thrown in with) is more important to him than facts or, at least, his own, honest, appraisal of history
Edit: Just wanted to add that, just as I don't think the US AirForce makes fighter Pilots of "morons"
(As GWB is often refered to by the left) I can't believe that the US Navy commisions "Retards" as nuclear submarine commanders (As Carter was).
