Here is the latest in John McCain's never ending quest to compare Barack Obama to every Democrat in history.

"You know one of his favorite phrases is that I would be a Bush third term. Well I think maybe his proposals could be Carter's second term,"

I may be missing something, but I don't really see how comparing Obama to Carter is all that awful. Sure, Carter has the distinction of being the only American politician to ever bag on Israel, but my impression is that most people see him as a kindly grandpa who likes to build houses for poor people.

Do people even know he was a President?

Come to think of it, would a second Carter administration retroactively set up some kind of alternate reality where Ronald Reagan was never elected? That would be awesome! Then would Mondale get two terms too?

And then Geraldine Ferraro would... Oh, I see what McCain is doing here. Very clever, asshole...
