Maureen Dowd: Jimmy Carter, the former face of Georgia, cared about building relationships. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the nasty new face of Georgia, only wants to divide.
Former President Jimmy Carter at his home in Plains, Ga., June 25, 2021.When Jimmy Carter was president, I was a lowly clerk at The Washington Star. I saw him mostly through the eyes of Pat Oliphant, our brilliant, biting cartoonist. As Carter came to be seen as uncool and fumbling, Oliphant drew the president smaller and smaller in relation to his tormentors — including that killer rabbit.
The man was a marvel. The starchiness and righteousness were still there. He had not mellowed, thank God. He remained, to use the descriptor favored by one of his sons, intense. He still felt the sting of being dissed and held at a distance by his successors Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Carter cared about building — furniture and relationships. The nasty new face of Georgia politics cares about dividing.
“We need a national divorce,” she tweeted on Presidents Day. “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
Carter, a brainiac, is a former nuclear engineer with a soaring IQ. Greene, a maniac, ranted to Tucker Carlson on Thursday about “this war against Russia in Ukraine.” “Marjorie Taylor Greene is following in the footsteps of racist old bigots like Lester Maddox and George Wallace,” Rafshoon said.
