| Jimmy Carter -- first female president? |
| 2006-08-23 |
| An e-mail to Kathryn Lopez at National Review My wife many years ago took a "women's leadership" seminar at the CIA led by Jynx Melia (author of the book, "Why Jenny Can't Lead"). She posited that women demonstrate a number of traits regarding problem solving and leadership techniques. Men, for example, are results oriented and quite willing to bend or break the rules to get the job done. On the other hand, women were more process oriented and often fixated on procedural issues to the detriment of mission accomplishment. In her book, Melia makes the amusing claim that, based on leadership style and problem solving techniques, America has already had a woman president—Jimmy Carter. . . . Discuss. |

| #23 I prefer to use the designations from Team America -- there are Pussies, Assholes and Dicks. Cahtah is a Pussy. Gender, in this scheme, has nothing to do with it. |

| #20 I'm deliberately not going to do the link thingy, but, if you look at Blackfive, there is (amazingly) a link to a post at the Daily Kos about some Americans who had bigger balls than Jimmuh ever thought about having. |

| #15 When Jimmy lost his first election he took it to the World Court in the Hague. Why didn't the MSM ever tell the public that before he ran for president? |

| #14 I always had the feeling that Jimmy Cahtah had the ability to knit. I mean, the guy was afraid of a swimming rabbit. |

| #8 On the other hand "Golda Meir is the only man in the Israeli giovernment" but I suspect the original was "Gold Meir is the only one minister who has balls". |

| #7 If she's correct, we certainly can not afford any female leaders. Jimmah's sterling performance can never be forgotten. He was probably the stupidist and most unimpressive president in the history of the republic. |

| #6 No way in hell was that maggot "female". I've actually had far more male bosses exhibit Melia's stereotypical "female" response than women bosses. I agree with Barbara. He was the first "eunuch" president, and hopefully the last. With any luck, his kind will never again infest the Oval Office during our lifetimes (Kerry came close, but thankfully didn't win). |
