Borowitz - Jimmy Carter Deserved Better. So Do We. [View all]

As we remember Jimmy Carter, let’s also take a moment to remember what a ginormous dick Ronald Reagan was.

On October 28, 1980, the two men faced off in a televised debate, in which Reagan delivered his zinger for the ages, “There you go again.”

But Reagan’s knockout punch was hardly as spontaneous as it appeared. He had rehearsed it ahead of time, knowing exactly what Carter planned to say. How did he know? His campaign had stolen a copy of Carter’s debate briefing book.

When Americans elected Carter in 1976, they chose a man who pledged never to lie to them. He was a refreshing response to the cesspool of Republican lying typified by Watergate. By electing Reagan in 1980, Americans returned to the cesspool.
