Jimmy Carter, A Cat Killer??

[dgridley]

Here’s the text of a letter written by former president Jimmy Carter accessible in the Athenaeum, a private library and document collection in Eufaula, Alabama (thanks to emptyage.honan.net):

5/13/90

To Sybil,

Lamentably, I killed your cat while trying just to sting it. It was crouched, as usual, under one of our bird feeders & I fired from some distance with bird shot. It may ease your grief somewhat to know that the cat was buried properly with a prayer & that I’ll be glad to get you another of your choice.

I called & came by your house several times. We will be in the Dominican Republic until Thursday. I’ll see you then.

Love, Jimmy

Finally, a honest politician!

 

[DnPresident]

No apology! I killed your cat but will get ya another, Be outta town till thursday...

I guess he was honest.

Poor kitty, but at least Jimmy was honest about it.

Jimmy Carter is also a bunny killer.
He was out on a lake when a desperate rabbit tried to swim to his boat.
Jimmy Carter took and oar and bashed it on the head.
Jimmy Carter was president at the time and the press ridiculed him for
this incident. I think Jimmy Carter is just afraid of kittens and bunnies.

Really? He never strike me as the type whose is afraid of fluffy animals :D

I thought he's allergic to cats?
