Jimmy Carter's druggy son may run for Senate in NV
"President Carter's eldest son, Jack, is fueling hopes that Democrats can knock off first-termer Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) next year," reports the Hill. Among the young Carter's qualifications:
He was discharged from the Navy in 1970 for drug use.
He used to run a grain elevator business, which, according to columnst Jane Ann Morrison, "closed."
He spent seven years trading commodities in the tax haven of Bermuda.
We're tempted to scoff, but we'll resist the urge. After all, underachieving sons of one-term presidents have been known to accomplish great things in American politics.
