I was just watching Jimmy Carter's eulogy of Ford

I gotta tell ya, it's so NICE to hear someone pronounce "nuclear" properly for a change! :evilgrin:

1. President Carter was a nuclear sub commander with the Navy..

so he actually knows what he's talking about too.

2. Ever see the old SNL skit about Carter running a help line?

He was on a talk show, and people would call and ask questions about the country. Then one guy called and described a problem with his washing machine, and Carter helped him fix it. Then another caller said he had just overdosed on some pills he couldn't identify, so Carter talked him through the bad trip.

Funny skit.

3. One becomes wistful for an intelligent commander...

and that's no joke.

4. Sorry but Carter was not a nuclear sub commander. He did serve on

conventional subs and Rickover accepted Carter into the nuclear sub program.

Carter was a lieutenant when he resigned from the Navy in October 1953.

5. Sorry, he qualified as one...n/t

[jody]

6. You're correct, he qualified to hold a command position on nuclear subs and undoubtedly

would have commanded one if he stayed on active duty.

IMO Carter was one of the most ethical presidents we've had.

7. I think you are correct. He had a digree in some related field to

nuclear energy.
