A former president continues his
Retirement of Magical Thinking:
Jimmy Carter says he was elected president in 1976 by many of the same elements that fuel the new tea party movement.
“I don’t have any criticism of the members of the tea party,” the former Democratic president said Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.”
Carter then claimed “a lot of those same people, 30 years ago, were the ones who put me in the White House.”
And, apparently still addled by his experience as Reagan's biographer,
Edmund Morris says the Teabaggists were on the loose in the 1910 elections.
Not that I buy Mr. Carter's assertion, but it would be more accurate chronologically to state that 30 years ago, those same people were the ones who sent him home from the White House.
