Any folks on here that will remember when Saturday night live was actually funny and really good. They will remember. phil Hartman's deep thoughts by Jack Handy and just wanted to share this and kind of get everybody's opinion. I had recently been telling my children and grandchildren that Jimmy Carter before he passed had to be very excited because he lived to see the day to see a president that was worse than him and that being Joe Biden. But the more I've gone back and remembered when I was a freshman at LSU and we had the overthrow of Iran and doing some studying and knowing that Jimmy Carter basically silently sided with the Ayatollah against the shaw of Iran and everything that we are dealing with and have been dealing with Iran since 1979 leads me to believe that Carter did not live to see the day somebody worse than him. At the very least, him and Biden have to be tied for the two worst presidents of the United States. Your thoughts?

"Jimmy Carter basically silently sided with the Ayatollah against the shaw of Iran"

No he didn't, he wrote extensively about it in his two diary books.

I have to say i think Carter wins.

Don't get me wrong, I hated almost everything biden did. I thought he was an awful president.

However, think of what Carter did. Everything was just worse. Whenever they're was a situation and you thought about every possible outcome, Carter managed to find one worse.

He was a particular kinda bad president.

by the way deep thoughts by jack handy was actually voiced by jack handy.

he was real,

Jack Handey (born February 25, 1949) is an American humorist. He is best known for his "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey", a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts, and for his deadpan delivery.[1] Although many assume otherwise,[2][3] Handey is a real person, not a pen name or character.

he's 77 years old.

What's hilarious is that 95% of the posters on this board agreed with Carter's pussy-arse foreign policy philosophy while Biden was POTUS.

Now that Trump has started flexing American hegemony there's still a solid 20% who are still in lockstep with Carter.

And don’t forget that Carter also gave away the Panama Canal.

Your post is incoherent and you sound salty that SNL makes fun of your cult leader and so now they’re not funny and not good. Do your grandkids know how soft you are?

The three worst were without a doubt, Carter, Obama and Biden. They were so bad, but I just don't know who did the most damage.

Maybe Obama?

Carter didn't tell on himself in his own diary?

No he didn't. Carter was a weak ineffective leader especially when when it came to his human rights centered foreign policy. He and his adminstration believed that if the Shah was less oppressive and everyone played nice the Ayatollah, who he thought was more anti Shah than anti American, would work with moderates and allow a constitutional style government. He was a fool.

Carter wasn't the only fool. A lot of upper class Iranians, especially upper middle class women (sound familar), believed the Ayatollah would be a moderate and would allow a democracy because that's what he was telling them. The Ayatollah was a liar but not a fool.

Carter was far worse on Iran.
Biden was far worse on everything except Iran.

Obama, LBJ and FDR were far more damaging than either Carter or Biden

Phil Hartman. R.I.P.

Tragic end. One of the last genuinely hilarious members of the regular SNL crew. He was absolutely brilliant on the "News Radio" sitcom as well. So weird to retrospectively look back at that show and see early Andy Dick and Joe Rogan.
