At least he lived long enough to be now considered only the second-worst president in our country's history (UPDATED)

Checked out of hospice, and it’s off to the the great peanut farm in the sky

UPDATE: Classy to the end: Biden uses death of Carter to bash Trump, and claims that his “fondest memory” of the late president was when the Peanut Farmer (and Corn Pop, presumably, asked him for help in Carter’s election campaign.

Biden takes jab at Trump while applauding Jimmy Carter's decency, shares fondest memory with late president

Biden said his fondest memory of Carter happened in the 1970s when the then-Georgia governor asked Biden for help with his presidential campaign.

"He grabbed me by the arm and said, ‘I need you to help with my campaign,'" Biden recalled. "I said, 'I've only been around a couple of years, Mr. Governor.' He said, ‘No, it’ll make a difference.'"

"I said, 'I'm not sure it will," Biden added. "When I endorsed him for president, I told him why [I] was endorsing him and that it was not only his policies but his character, his decency, the honor he communicated to everyone."

How rich: this politician, who was a vicious, prevaricating fraud his entire political career and who used his political office to enrich himself and his family, hypocritically praises Carter’s decency and honesty, then invents a self-aggrandizing story about Carter begging him for help. I’m surprised that AmTrak conductor wasn’t brought in to confirm the story.

Carter truly was, by most accounts, an honest decent fellow; those qualities alone are not sufficient to make a good president, but they're a start. Biden was the exact opposite in every way, except for the incompetence: there, he exceeded even Carter.
