Huzza what?...

Seriously, this guy thinks Jimmy Carter's a "waste of skin"? What world is he living on? Carter has done more as an ex-President than any in modern history. What was Reagan doing before he died? What has Bush I done other than make millions off his political connections and occasionally help out in a crisis to look good (and I'm sure he'll soon be joined by his son). The closest we have to Carter is Clinton and even his accomplishments pale in comparison to Carter. Not only does he help build houses for Habitat (he even has his own yearly work project that helps build houses across the globe) but he also helps contribute to the cause of peace all around the world. Just because Beck's idea of being a worthwhile human being doesn't involve actually helping anyone who's not a millionaire doesn't mean he can honestly call Carter a useless waste of skin. I disagree with Bush, he's contributed absolutely nothing to the future wellbeing of this world or its people, but I can't honestly say he's never done anything of note.
