George Will wrote a scathing op-ed about Carter, just yesterday. On the one hand I thought: "wow, you need to do that now, to a dead 100-year old President?" On the other hand, maybe he was correct and said what needed to be said. I'm a lib, so I'm inclined to like ol' Jimmy. But honestly, reading what Will had to say, he was making some sense. Now, I wasn't old enough to really be conscious of Carter's presidency, and I mostly heard about the good things that Carter did in his old age. Probably he was a complicated, flawed human being. Probably a much better person than Will acknowledged, but probably also rather flawed.
People are weird like that.
