So former pres Jimmy Carter has written a new book and seems to have a few less than kind words regarding his fellow democrat Ted Kennedy.
Some people seem to be upset that Jimmy would dare criticize the much revered and now deceased Kennedy.

Jimmy was on last night. He was great. Teddy was terrible.
He got away with murder. He was spiteful, and hateful.

I concur!!

And there have been alot of books critical of Ted when he was living (or whatever you want to call his pitiful life). But now that he isn't with us any more some people take offense at a former president criticizing him.

I'm just surprised he didn't do a *** on ole' Teddy's grave before urinating on him. Seems to for the most part have gotten the ole' Ted'ster dead on.

I didn't like Ted Kennedy.

However, Jimmy Carter ( one of the worst presidents) should look in the mirror instead of writing books criticizing others..

So? The dead are dead, it's not going to hurt their feelings to be criticized. As long as what Carter wrote is true, then I see no problem with this. Kennedy was not a good person, and shouldn't be put on a pedestal.

aside from his jab at teddy, jimmuh came across as rather pathetic on last night's 60 minutes. he truly does seem to live in a different universe.

That Carter is compelled to write a book declaring his Presidency a "Success" just goes that he really has entered a state senile dementia. There is nothing more sad than a fmr. President who continues to yearn for the spotlight and reclaim relevancy. Funny, that narcissistic trait seems to be cornered by the Democrats.
