CNN asked Jimmy Carter who is the better “peacemaker,” the actual Secretary of State, Condi Rice, or the woman who thinks she’s the Secretary of State, Nancy Pelosi. Carter said what you’d expect him to say:
Well I wouldn’t want to compare the two women, no. But, I was very pleased when I learned the Speaker would go to Syria. It’s long overdue.
Because really, you just can’t meet with terrorists and dictators quickly enough.

Update (Ian): Another anti-Israel rant from Jimmy:
The United States cannot be a Mideast peacemaker if American government leaders are seen as “knee-jerk supporters of every action or policy of whatever Israeli government happens to be in power at any particular time,” former President Jimmy Carter said on Wednesday.

Carter - the ultimate moral authority on dealing with thugs.
Entelechy on April 4, 2007 at 9:13 PM
Who in the hell gave defeatocrat Pelosi the authority to intervene in foreign policy? I’m still mad as hell, and I’m not sure that I can take it any more. This b**th is going to FFFFF**** things up in the Middle East all over the place.
MsUnderestimated on April 4, 2007 at 9:25 PM
Well, Carter is perhaps the greatest living expert when it comes to appeasing and enabling terrorists. Anything he supports is almost automatically against American interests, and his “useful idiot” credentials are above reproach. Does this mean that Nancy’s an anti-Semite too?
ReubenJCogburn on April 4, 2007 at 9:30 PM
Carter is the litmus test. If he endorses the move, then the opposite is the correct direction. It’s good to ask the tool for advice on what not to do.
Kini on April 4, 2007 at 9:33 PM
Carter is the new Rosie.
I can’t get enough of not hearing about that toad.
Merovign on April 4, 2007 at 9:33 PM
Jimmy is off his meds again.
CrimsonFisted on April 4, 2007 at 9:34 PM
Jimmy, How can we miss you when you won’t go away? And, how will you ever erase the memory of the disaster that was your presidency when you keep reminding us of it?
TheBigOldDog on April 4, 2007 at 9:36 PM
Pieces of crap.
Valiant on April 4, 2007 at 9:39 PM
Ah, the infinite wisdom of Denny Green….
Kid from Brooklyn on April 4, 2007 at 9:42 PM
Yes, I would bet that Nancy is an anti-Semite, she is more than willing to throw Israel under the bus.
bbz123 on April 4, 2007 at 9:47 PM
I’m waiting for some feminists to say Nancy threw them under the bus.

He’s right. She wanted to be sworn in there.
On the Koran.

Held off on it for quite awhile because of family type pressure (X wife mainly)…
But I decided today its time to teach my twins, who turned 16 two weeks ago, to shoot…. and I’m not talking Range… or target shooting, but combat shooting like I was trained to do…
We live in suburbia in Colorado, pretty dang safe place, but the defeatocrats and appologists have convinced me that they will NOT allow us to fight them over there…. so they will come here….
My kids need to know how to fight… and that is that saddest commentary on America that I can think of.
Romeo13 on April 4, 2007 at 10:12 PM
Carter doesn’t want anyone else getting on their knees in front of Islamic killers. That’s his spot.

The more Jimmy speaks, the more elgeneralisimo is convinced that Billy was the smart one…
elgeneralisimo on April 4, 2007 at 10:43 PM
Billy wasn’t the smarter of the two?
jarhead05 on April 4, 2007 at 11:03 PM
Billy had Billy Beer going for him.Jimmy, nada,zip,bupkiss,zilch,goose-egg.

Sherman musta missed his place on the way through.

The word “inbred” comes to mind with strains of Dueling Guitars (a la Deliverance)in the background. Liberal media always enjoy getting sound bytes from Jimmuh. Personally, I wish he’d build himself a habitat in the Arctic and stay there.

the Syria Reform party is peeved at Pelosi for setting back Womens rights..

good stuff

Seditious traitors, all of them. So when exactly is the Bush administration going to call them on it, declare the truth of their traitorist ways from the rooftops, and start arresting these people so they can wind their way through the court system where they belong?
Anything else is simply helping enable them to keep doing what they are doing, destroying this Nation from within.
NRA4Freedom on April 4, 2007 at 11:37 PM
A better title for this post would be: “Carter says ‘blah, blah, blah’, no one gives a crap.”
Hack Ptui on April 5, 2007 at 12:06 AM
Carter saying the Administration has a lack of courage? Excuse a second…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Whew…Wow….Hmmmph…
Ok, I’m better now. Hey Jimmy, can you say “Iran”?
amerpundit on April 5, 2007 at 12:10 AM
Oh, Carter, can you also say “2 Terms”?
amerpundit on April 5, 2007 at 12:11 AM
This from the man who’s accomplished more good building houses, than he did as the Commander-In-Chief, and leader of the free world?
amerpundit on April 5, 2007 at 12:15 AM
Okay, now you are really confusing the peanut man.
Rick on April 5, 2007 at 12:25 AM
Not to nitpick, but it’s ‘Dueling Banjos’.
ReubenJCogburn on April 5, 2007 at 1:33 AM
Mr. Carter,
Follow up, if they are being taught this, why have you NEVER uttered a word against it?
PinkyBigglesworth on April 5, 2007 at 2:17 AM
Dear Jimmy,
Didn’t we tell you get lost about 27 years ago?
Tuning Spork on April 5, 2007 at 2:48 AM
Carter is coming out with a new book titled “Middle East Peace in 444 days.”
bopbottle on April 5, 2007 at 5:46 AM
Somebody please . . . tell Carter to blow it out his ear. Although I will admit the he and Pelosi make a great pair.
rplat on April 5, 2007 at 7:26 AM
Jimmah won the White House when I was a first grader.
The day after the election we’re all sitting at Mrs. Parkers’ feet-listening to her rave about the new first family-when I blurted out: “But my mommy and daddy didn’t vote for him!”
Aaaah-to have smart parents.

Smart kid.

Carter - the Enabler.
Kokonut on April 5, 2007 at 10:37 AM
I feel a certain amount of sympathy for Carter. He was not relevant even as a President. He then went on, in his megalomanic depressive kind of way, and sought to carve out a niche for himself. He accepted his undeserved Nobel Prize under less than honorable conditions and continues to circle the globe with his pitiful appeasement propaganda. Even those who through the years have thought of him as a relatively harmless, if misguided man, are starting to form other opinions of him. Just ask those 14 menbers of his board of councilors. Oh wait, they quit because Carter is an anti-Semite. Well, there you go.
Glynn on April 5, 2007 at 12:37 PM
Jimmy doesn’t think that the POTUS should run American foreign policy. After all, he didn’t have a foreign policy when he was POTUS. He was expecting somebody else to create one.
I don’t remember where I read it, but the author referred to Carter’s foreign policy as one of “active haplessness” and that this comes from a mindset that the US is in decline.
cmay on April 5, 2007 at 1:05 PM
Not only in decline but the root of all evil.
Glynn on April 5, 2007 at 2:03 PM
Yeah, sure. When I want advice on how to handle Iranians in a hostage situation, I will call on success………….Jimmy Carter. (snicker)

Logan Act
I agree. I thought she’d willfully commit a felony and get caught long before this myself as well.
Although I have to say Howard Dean’s action are a much more obvious and flagrant violation.
Any chance anyone will enforce this law (last updated in 1994)? Oh, sorry. I forgot they were Democrats, silly question.
gekkobear on April 5, 2007 at 6:08 PM
Nah, feel free to nitpick. Not my favorite movie anyway.
thedecider on April 5, 2007 at 7:35 PM
All of that “squeal like a pig” stuff isn’t my kind of thing either. Mostly I just wanted a chance to link to ‘Dueling Banjos’, which I do still get a kick out of.
ReubenJCogburn on April 5, 2007 at 11:15 PM
It’s almost as if he is “lusting in his heart” for her.
