Jimmy Carter admits son smoked pot with Willie Nelson on the roof of the White House

Who the hell uses the term "Servants"?


AUSTIN, Texas — In the film “Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President,” a new documentary that details the 39th president’s involvement in the music community during his term, President Jimmy Carter expands on a story involving one of his kids, Willie Nelson and what the singer once described as “a big, fat, Austin torpedo.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, around the beginning of the film, Carter is asked about Nelson's tale of smoking pot on the roof of the White House near the end of his term as president in 1980. The tale is that Nelson smoked with one of the servants in the White House but, Carter explains, that wasn't true – it was actually one of his sons.

I just have no memory of any children other than Amy. I know his brother Billy was always in the news (remember Billy Beer?). But the sons went unnoticed somehow, at least by me.

They didn’t live at the White House and had their own private lives.

The exact opposite of Trump’s attention whore children.

imagine if he personally had appointed an Attorney General to remove all Inspectors General who were investigating obvious crimes while appointing phony investigators to put forth phony non existent crimes a couple of months before an election.
