Hilarious!

Wow, everyone sure seems to love ol' Jimmy Carter right about now! Kinda makes you wonder why we ever voted the grinnin' Ghandi out of office. Well, no, not really. Not if you're unlucky enough to still be cursed with memories of what it was actually like when Jimmy Carter was President. Anyway, for those of us still suffering malaise-inspired nightmares, Gary Allen's acidic (and, unlike Carter's writing, short-and-to-the-point) 1976 "biography" is a wonderful antidote. Inside, you will find the details of Carter's life before he was a virgin. Allen writes with a venemous wit and there's something delightfully cathartic in reading his sarcastic take on our 39th President, especially with all the recent talk of Carter being our greatest ex-President. (Though this is perhaps true if you consider Carter's greatest act within the White House was to eventually leave it...)
