Coogler Prize results in new malaise. Also: Republicans sweep Jefferson prizes. The political price of gas. Dixies in their cups. Tape measure dead balls. Plus much more.

p>I think it was George Will who stated that while Jimmy Carter
might be the worst president, Bill Clinton is the worst person to
be president. At one time, I agreed with Will. But today, Carter
wins both awards. What a skunk!

Ahahhaahahaha!!!!
Thank you for the excellent denunciation of that self-righteous (yet incompetent) buffoon. I always felt, pardon the language, that if you wanted America to be a nation of groveling p******, well then, Jimmy Carter was your man. He was your go-to guy.
p>Carter’s only achievements are the backlash he provoked, spurring to victory Governor Reagan, and the dubious accomplishment of the single worst speech in the history of mankind, the so-called “malaise speech.” I am wistfully reminded of the wonderful Reagan summary retort, “I utterly reject that view…” br> —
