The AP reports that former president Jimmy Carter said in a story that appeared Saturday in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the presidency and administration of George W. Bush has been the worst in the history of the United States.
"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper's Saturday editions.
"The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me.""
The response of the Republican National Committee was inane and meaninglessly ad hominem. When you don't like the message, attack and slime the messenger.
""Apparently, Sunday mornings in Plains for former President Carter includes hurling reckless accusations at your fellow man," said Amber Wilkerson, Republican National Committee spokeswoman. She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War.""
A question for the RNC spokesperson: why does she think that Mr. Carter's statement is a "reckless accusation?" How is it reckless? And how is it an "accusation?" The answer is it is neither reckless (meaning having a duty of care but still taking known risks) nor is it an accusation, as is self-evident. So much for the Republican non-response.
