| HT Drudge - smack that asshole Carter around? Fine with me BUSH PASSED OVER CARTER IN POPE FUNERAL PICK President Bush selected his father and Bill Clinton over Jimmy Carter for the official delegation attending the funeral of Pope John Paul II, the Carter Center claimed Late Tuesday. "President Carter expressed to the White House a desire to attend the Pope's funeral," an official said. Carter "was informed that the official delegation would be limited to just five people, and there were also others who were eager to attend." "The Carters always relish the memories of Pope John Paul II being a delightful personal guest at the White House in 1979, on a pope's only visit to our nation's capital city. Subsequently, they visited with His Holiness in the Vatican." One senior GOP official said that Carter wanted to take his wife Rosalynn along, but was informed that would be impossible.

| #11 All living presidents except Carter and FORD. Carter doesnt deserve to go. Bush and Clinton (for the most part) are playing by the tacit rules on how to be an ex-president. Jimmuh on the other hand... North Korea, the fruadulent election in Venzuela, atc - he's been nothing but a f**kup at anything other than building houses for the poor. |

| #6 Bogus headline. When Carter was informed there was only room for 5 he decided to decline and allow someone else to go. I don't care for his politics but I always thought he was an honest man. He has been easily duped I think because he has an affinity for trusting people when he shouldn't. NPR reported this as he declined and not the Bush Administration shut him out. My opinion, more MSM Bush Bashing. |
