Spitting from a very high horse

This is an example of why I don't follow a lot of highly-regarded opinion shapers.
Amusing.
Very amusing.
Snarky bashing of Jimmy Carter is a lot of fun, isn't it?
I just read a NY Times piece describing how the Secretary of State had to walk on eggs around the boss just to advance a bit of what would be garden-variety diplomacy under any other administration.
Carter had faults, but a hair-trigger impulse was not on the list.
