DEL.ICIO.USWinds send an oak tree through Jimmy Carter’s house in Plains
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We’re getting no rain in Atlanta, but things are pretty rough below I-20.
The Insider just got word that Tropical Storm Fay has just sent an oak tree through the home of President Jimmy Carter down in Plains — right above the living room. Chainsaw crews are on their way.
The president’s son, Jeff Carter, confirmed that both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were in the house at the time, but that neither was injured.
Jimmy Carter is scheduled to address the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Sumter County has been hit hard lately. A tornado tore through the county seat of Americus in 2007, causing heavy damage throughout the city.
Here’s a link to weather radar — there’s a good bit of red and yellow down in Carter territory.

Lets see how long it takes for the first Jimmy Carter and/or Democrat hating comments to begin rolling in - over a fallen tree.

Something bad has happened. I’m sure Dick Cheney has a hand in it somehow.

Hey Mike - Not only was Dick Cheney involved but so was Karl Rove.

Clearly it was George Bush’s fault.

Jammy Carder probably blamed the tree falling on global warming or Ronald Reagen or the Iranians. But sometimes things just happen - even to someone as “important” as the Carder’s.

Listening to the Convention speakers, you will think we are back in 1935 in the midst of the Great Depression.Listen to all the great things Uncle Sam will do for you. Sure hope you Dems got the CHANGE you expected. As Bill would say, how do you define CHANGE...By ghostwriter

Is this a story worthy of “Political Insider?” I just read the same story on the front page. Good grief…

The Insider covers all kinds of wind when it comes to Jimmy Carter. Be it tropical storm wind or the hot air that escapes his gapping maw every time he opens his fat trap.

Wonder if Jimmy Carter will finally meet the challenge of ‘FREE ELECTIONs’ in AMERICA by calling for the CPD to allow Bob BARR inclusion in the upcoming DEBATES? As a ‘senior advisor’ of the CPD, his speech would be the PERFECT time to do so! What about it, Mr. Jimmy?
(he’s avoided this challenge now for several years!)
