    People still point at Carter for putting on a sweater and suggesting people turn down their thermostat.

    Maybe it was not said in public that he was a pussy, but I assure you that a whole lot of people said it in private.

    Same sort of thing goes for being “manly” about bombing brown people in foreign lands and spending lots of money on it.
