Jimmy Carter’s punishment

In CNN's presidential rankings, lately released, Ford, Reagan, Clinton and Bush I all jumped up in rankings since the last time the panel of scholars reviewed presidential legacy, nine years ago, but Jimmy Carter plummeted, three positions, from 22d best to 25th best, well below the average. Note that Carter's biggest point drops were in international relations, also moral authority and public persuasion. If you think this has nothing to do with Carter's book on apartheid in the West Bank, well–count up all the actors who gave shout-outs to the people of Gaza at the Academy Awards tonight.
