How low will they go?

Looks like the days when ex-presidents followed the old unwritten rule about not bashing the current prez are long gone. Jimmy Carter, one of the worst presidents in American history, has been consistently breaking the rule for years. Bill Clinton was doing pretty good at keeping it, but the Wallace interview has apparently ushered in a new era for him, too. Yes, it's probably a waste to pay any attention to what these two say, but they are ex-presidents, and the world will listen to them.

What good does it do for one of them to publicly say (or run off to another country and say) something derogatory about Bush? Do they think it makes them look better, or makes America look better? Do they think it will lead to impeachment followed by decades of neo-socialist rule?

Carter, shilling in Reno for his son Billy-Bob (I believe that's his name) said,
The former president say that Bush's policies have been a radical departure from what all previous presidents have done, including Republicans like Bush's own father, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower..
When will this nut realize we were attacked--not because of Bush's policies but partially because of his own? Talk about shame--I once voted for this peanut-brain. But his handling of the hostage crisis and general failure with the economy was itself worse than anything Bush has done.

We all saw Bill tell the world Bush was responsible for 9/11 by not having one single meeting about al Qaeda in the seven plus months leading to the attack, a lie, by the way. But that's ok, he was defending himself.

Now we have his lovely wife, who after five years of silence has decided to throw a few punches:
"Everything that we care about is at stake," she said. "On any issue you can mention" -from energy independence to global climate change and the cost of health care - "we won't deal with it if we don't have Democrats in charge."
She seemed to forget the Islamo-whatever they are now called who want to kill her family and take our freedoms. Dead people need no health care, Senator.

The republicans do it, too, yet somehow it seems the democrats are going lower by pretending Bush is trashing the Constitution just because he doesn't want a nuke going off in New York.
