President Jimmy Carter has passed away at age 100.
No matter what one thinks of his policies, I say he deserves great respect for being the only President in US history to never fire a shot. And he was, without question, our greatest former President.

Which, I'm convinced, is why he struggled with the Presidency. Though he did get a higher percentage of his legislative agenda through Congress than Ronnie Raygun did.

Remember when civility and integrity were part of the presidential landscape? Carter was a real decent person, a mensch, as my people would say. And he provided Dan Ackroyd with great inspiration to amuse us all. Who can forget this gem:
Bill, tgo
