I am of a mind regarding Jimmy Carter to believe they weren’t wise, best an ex-president avoid the political and, as much as I mock it, act in the George HW Bush — Bill Clinton affair of International Goodwill.  But I can spot the attack on him for saying that Bush’s administration of “I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history” from a mile away, which is that it was only a decade and a half ago when a Republican might say the same and the Democrat wouldn’t much respond.

I am of a greater mind, though, to say of White House spokesman Tony Fratto (who?)‘s response of “I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments”, how interesting it is that at the last Republican Presidential debate the ratio of references to Ronald Reagan to references to George W Bush by the candidates is something to the effect of 20:1.  Reagan’s Ghost, of course, being the front-runner for Republican nomination and George W Bush being… well, the Republican candidates wish he were irrelevant.
