The White House is firing back at former President Jimmy Carter, calling the Georgia Democrat "increasingly irrelevant" in the wake of his remarks labeling the Bush administration the "worst in history."
In an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette yesterday, Carter was quoted as saying, "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."
White House spokesman Tony Fratto refused to respond yesterday, but launched a counterattack today from Crawford, Texas, explaining, "I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless personal criticism is out there."
