Carter to Bush: “BOO!”

“I have no desire to see myself on television,” said the nation’s 43rd president. “I don’t want to be a panel of formers instructing the currents on what to do. … I’m trying to regain a sense of anonymity. I didn’t like it when a certain former president — and it wasn’t 41 (George H.W. Bush) or 42 (Bill Clinton) — made my life miserable.” — W.

All righty then.  An interesting look at the Bush White House — Bush spent his waking hours haunted by the specter of Jimmy Carter.  Everywhere he went in the Oval Office, Jimmy Carter jumped out at him and yelled “Boo!”.  Now, in the same spirit of Nixon talking to the various Presidential portraits, we have Bush cowering before the portrait of Jimmy Carter.  That may just be enough to kick Carter out of this last tier.

But, I guess, George W Bush had the last laugh.

… a better relationship with rabbits.
