Only in the latter case, it sounds like Stan Freberg as Junyer Bear.

“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.

Now: Furthermore, how could who may have been the worst president ever – Carter – honestly and objectively speak on who he thinks is the worst president ever – Bush?

What you say he said is not what he said. I’d ask you what your credentials are but you’d likely misread them.

and roosevelt ripped taft a new one on a daily basis back in the day and of course reagan criticized clinton 1 month into his administration. and there are plenty of other examples but scott johnson says it just isnt done. thats why he is a subject of ridicule, because he is a moron like you.

Furthermore, there’s a distinct and noticable difference between criticizing a President and criticizing a president’s policy. Policy always has been, and will continue to be, the name of the game in debate. Furthermore, how could who may have been the worst president ever – Carter – honestly and objectively speak on who he thinks is the worst president ever – Bush? I mean, it just doesn’t work. But, attacking his policies is fine and would be contributing to the debate – as it is, Carter was just acting like an Ass. . . literally, not figuratively – oh, well maybe figuratively as well.

It doesn’t matter to those nit-wits because they already *know* for a fact that they are right anyway. Small details like completely misstating constitutional / legal theories, i.e. having zero foundation for their positions, are simply irrelevant.

I wish my life was that convenient.

Yes, Your honor, my legal authority says the complete opposite of what I claim it says, and everyone knows it, but I’m still totally right, I swear.

* Yes, one could crack a DVD’s copy-protection and then distribute the material that was formerly copy-protected via the ‘net. However, I’d wager that most people wouldn’t even bother with the amount of work that it would take to circumvent the copy-protection, rip the data, recompress it (or not…), and then either seed it to bittorrent/other p2p programs or upload it to some server somewhere (and finding one of those takes time and work, too…). I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m entirely too lazy to commit crime, particularly this kind of crime.

an even better constitutional citation from Dan Riehl is here:

http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2007/05/vive_which_revo.html

where he attempts to use the 5th Amendment’s right to property clause to say that Digg users (i.e. private citizens) can’t steal DVDs via the internets tubes.

I mean: Carter’s conduct violates the discretion that ex-presidents have generally observed regarding their successors in office.
Yeah, I know what he’s trying to say, but it’s surprising how many ways that sentence could be rearranged that would make it more of a pleasure to read.

This was written in drool using the end of a banana and has since evaporated.

I call bullshit. Ample evidence suggests this is a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance. Selective memory, she is so useful.

Don’t these people “get� Democracy?

Um, no. Next question?

Traditionally, though, we haven’t been hampered by “President”s who are ignorant criminal sociopaths who prompt boxes of rocks and bags of hammers to say “CHRIST that guy’s DUMB!”

So it’s kind of a precendent thing.

right you are.

Don’t these people “get” Democracy?

“In truth, Carter’s conduct violates the discretion that ex-presidents have generally observed regarding their successors in office.”

Interestingly, my parents hometown right-wing rag made a similar comment about Carter’s lack of discretion a while back (in eulogizing Gerald Ford). I wrote a letter to the editor detailing how (1) it was inappropriate and un-necessary it was to make such a slap at Carter in a eulogy for Ford, (2) how other ex-presidents, including — albeit quietly and more subtly than Carter — Ford have not observed this claimed tradition of discretion and (3) ex-Presidents actually owe it to us to not keep their mouths shut: they have valuable experience about which they can and should inform us (even if the current President might be right to not listen to what the ex-President says).

They didn’t print my letter. Although, to their credit, they have printed some of my letters in the past.

Do we tell baseball players they can’t criticize other baseball players? Musicians can’t criticize musicians? Lawyers can’t criticize laywers? I’m not allowed to note that a hotel room is poorly cleaned? Maybe pundits aren’t allowed to criticize other pundits, that could be fun.

We’ve always been at war with – well, hell, everybody?

Can I borrow a gun, mikey?

At this point I think we oughta just start building a bunker. Cement, anyone?
