A great e-mail:
You’ve probably gotten a lot of e-mail about this but I just can’t let it go. I’ve tried the breathing exercises and everything.

Carter has been an outspoken critic of Bush, but the White House has largely refrained from attacking him in return. Sunday’s sharp response marks a departure from the deference that sitting presidents traditionally have shown their predecessors. (my emphasis)

Ok. I feel a little better now.
