But after hearing President Jimmy Carter eviscerate the Bush Administration for taking American down a path of moral destruction, I decided I needed to buy his newest book, if only as a gesture of thanks.<BR/><BR/>Even if the book were crap, I reasoned, at least a few bucks might go towards a 2-by-4 for Habitat for Humanity. I’m confident Carter isn’t socking away book profits to buy a big yacht or a Major League baseball team.<BR/><BR/>Given Carter’s reputation for thoughtful reflection and industriousness, I was expecting an excruciatingly researched Michener-sized tome, but instead found a small book, barely cracking 200 pages with unusually large type, oversized margins, and not one endnote. I guess some people are beyond listing their sources—ex-presidents and bloggers.<BR/><BR/>My childhood memories of Carter are vivid: peanuts and bright smiles, then over time, gas shortages, inflation and hostages. No more smiles. Just an ashen, spent, broken man.Marty Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295736502963439515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12434741.post-1132295218691113712005-11-18T00:26:00.000-06:002005-11-18T00:26:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Marty Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295736502963439515noreply@blogger.com
