#1 Why would you want the best reason to have a republican president to shut up?

#2 historical precedent was that ex-presidents STFU in public. Carter and Clinton don't have the class or clue necessary ....Every time Jimmy speaks, he should have to answer as to his failed policies and utter weakness and how he helped spawn the rise of Islamofacism

#3 Bush won both his runs for president, Carter won only the first of his. Who does that make more in line with American values?

#4 I wasn't aware tossing over the Jews for the paleos and loving every commie dictator were American values, but hey, what do I know?

#5 "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. " : Napoleon Bonaparte

Was Napoleon Bonaparte responsible for getting so many Frenchmen killed, fighting spirit genetically removed from the population?

#7 Was Napoleon Bonaparte responsible for getting so many Frenchmen killed, fighting spirit genetically removed from the population?

Given that the Franco-Prussian War was about fifty years later, and WWI about forty after that, no. The blame for the emasculation of the French is usually laid on two things: WWI and socialism.

#8 The precedent was that Republican ex-Presidents stay silent. LBJ didn't live long after retirement, but Truman was an asshole at times. Though, of course, Carter has set new lows on behavior. Even Cliton hasn't been quite as bad as Carter.

Why can't he get Alzheimer's? It would be an improvement.

It's too bad GHWB is such a gentleman. It would be good to hear him say "Shut up; we've all been trying to clean up the mess you left us."

#9 Maybe he ALREADY has Alzheimers.

#10 Was Napoleon Bonaparte responsible for getting so many Frenchmen killed, fighting spirit genetically removed from the population?

Brilliant Pebbles, methinks that France, much like England, lost most of it's manhood in the Great War and WWII; can you imagine a France that produced Napoleon retreating into Vichy? I doubt that he could.

#11 Not to mention the brain drain of Europe -> US.

#12 It's the culture, not the deaths. Russia, Germany, Poland all lost many times the men, but they are not considered (most of the time) passive-aggressive back stabbers.
