No one man has ever done as much damage to the United States and the world than James Earl Carter Junior, the Peanut farmer from Georgia.
You might say it all started with the downfall of Richard Nixon. This occurred, not because G Gordon Liddy and his friends broke into the Watergate apartments and stole some secret papers from the Democrat National Committee, but because Nixon helped cover up that fiasco. I was no great fan of Gerald Ford, the vice President who took over from Nixon. He seemed an awkward caricature of a stumbling fill-in for President. But he was a nice guy and undoubtedly a patriot. As the election process wore on, I had no choice but to vote for Gerald, the football player, against Jimmy the Peanut Farmer.
