Political Radar: Carter Snubs Clinton
Former Democratic President Jimmy Carter appeared to greet former Republican President George H.W. Bush and his wife warmly, kissing Barbara Bush on the cheek. But as Carter passed fellow Democrats Bill and Hillary Clinton, the two men did not appear to acknowledge each others presence at all. A total snub.
I noticed that. I wondered if anybody else had, or if it meant anything. I confess, I hadn’t been aware of any bad blood between Clinton and Carter.

IIRC, the peanut farmer endorsed the One early on.
Maybe the Clintons didn’t want salmonella.

“Relations between the Carters and the Clintons have reportedly been frosty for years, dating back to 1980, when Carter’s landslide defeat to Ronald Reagan may have cost Clinton the Arkansas governor’s mansion. At least that’s what Clinton reportedly believed.
“In the 90s Clinton was said to resent some of Carter’s freelance diplomacy. Carter, for his part, spared no criticism of Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.”
