For all the talk of Dick Cheney’s “inappropriate” criticisms of the new administration, another former White House employee has likely done more damage and yet is about to receive a great honor. Jimmy Carter has been the most outspoken retired president in recent memory, and now he’s getting his own national park.

A bill expanding the boundary of the existing Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains, Ga., and re-designating it a National Historical Park, has just moved through committee on the backs of six Democrats and two Republicans, all representatives of Georgia. A companion Senate version is supported by the two Republican senators from Georgia, as well as one Democrat from Arkansas.
