Liberal ex-presidents never fade away

This is a good article. He makes the case that liberal presidents (or vice Presidents) continually try to redeem themselves and in doing so continually show us their flaws.

American Thinker: The Democrats’ Ex-Presidents

Why is it that so many Democratic leaders find it necessary to continue making spectacles of themselves after they leave office?

It’s an exclusively Democratic trait — you don’t find Republicans acting this way.

the liberal pol demands another turn at the plate, another opportunity to prove himself, to demonstrate to the world that he was right all along. And since he’s not alone on stage, since he’s competing with somebody else who actually is president at the moment (and may in fact be accomplishing things), he picks the most outlandish, fantastic, comic-book tasks imaginable. Tasks beyond the reach of any single human individual, perhaps any nation. Carter wants to be the universal peacemaker and guarantor of democracy. Gore would like to save the planet. And Bill… in attempting to convince the nation that Hillary is presidential material, he has the most thankless task of all.

Grown men, trying to convince the world that they’re supermen - it’s sad, and pointless, and more than a little ridiculous.

We’ll be seeing more of it. Having accomplished little or nothing, liberal presidents are going to be left unsatisfied and restless, and will hit the streets in an effort to do something about it. In extreme cases, like that of Jimmy Carter, they are going to blame everyone else in the world but themselves, and make the world pay for it.
