Those are some of the items I had in mind when I said "plenty of things that
I'd call *stupid* ..." but not "slimy". Clinton was, and is, slimy. Nixon was
slimy. JFK with multiple mistresses was slimy. As much as I admire Reagan ...
Iran-Contra was slimy. And as much as I detest Carter, he wasn't slimy.
Stupid and incompetent, yes. Slimy? Carter? No.
