JAMES EARL CARTER, JR.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!
On PBS Monday, former President Jimmy Carter referred to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as “this black boy” during coverage of the Democratic National Convention. No one batted an eye. And nobody has called him on it either.
Why does his family permit him to be trotted out like this? It is evident to me that he is in the throes of some sort of mental disability, whether it be Alzheimer’s or just the encroachment of very advanced age removing some of his internal “appropriate speech” filters so that at long last his true lack of character and humanity is becoming utterly clear.
Memo to the Carter family: Lock this old fart up before he embarrasses his family and his country further. Don’t make me tell you again!

Jimmy makes them long for brother Billy!!
Rush said yesterday that he thought he would start using the phrase "the black boy" just to see how long it would take for the alphabets to try to kick him off the airwaves for his insensitivity!
Between Jimmah and Bubba and his freaking wagging finger (are all y'all as sick of it as I am?), this has been a disastrous convention in terms of my blood pressure!

The greater their expectations (no matter how illogical or unrealistic), the greater will be their disappointment.
They deserve to reap every bitter morsel...
