The former US first lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia, her family announced on Tuesday.
Carter, 95, lives in Plains, Georgia, with her husband, Jimmy Carter, the 98-year-old 39th president who has been in hospice care since February.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Carter Center said Rosalynn Carter “continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying spring in Plains and visits with loved ones”.
The Carters married in 1946, shortly after Jimmy Carter graduated from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, was elected governor of Georgia in 1971 and US president five years later, defeating the Republican incumbent, Gerald Ford.
Rosalynn Carter was an influential first lady, known to some as “the Steel Magnolia”. In August 1980, reporting the re-election campaign against Ronald Reagan, Anthony Holden of the Observer wrote: “She revels in her reputation as America’s most political First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt, even as, in Time magazine’s judgment, the second most powerful person in the United States.” MORE
And both still more capable than the two installed idiots we have occupying their former positions.
I wouldn’t wish dementia on anyone even Rosalynn Carter. I’m not a big fan of either her or Mr. Peanut and having seen my mom go thru Sundowners and having taken care of her and my dad during the last year of their lives, it is not easy to deal with. I wish her well and hope that she gets the proper care to deal with this and doesn’t have to suffer a long and prolonged bout of crazy agony over this. Sometimes it’s far better just to go quietly without going over the deep end into madness.
No SHIT she has dementia. Look at the shitbag she married.
Oh, you mean NOW. I figured you meant 1946. If she’s been brain dead that long, how do you know the difference?

Demonrats put the D in dementia…
She caught it sitting for that recent photo next to Biden, or she swallowed last year on Jimmy’s birthday.
Ann… behave yourself. Have another Morning Martini.
