In the words of a fellow Republican: too stupid to chew gum and walk at the same time, but at least he wasn't dangerous stupid like the current occupant of the White House.

If he hadnt pardoned Nixon,we wouldnt have Carter,.
No Carter......no afganistan,no camp david,no garbage bin books,and oh god no stupid peanut farmer with a bible.
Why the adulation then?
