Carter Bitch-Slapped On New Book
2006-12-06
From PowerLine:
Errors, omissions, inventions and falsehoods
Check it out - one of the Carter Center's own, Dr. Kenneth W. Stein - an expert in Middle East politics and history, takes on Jimmuh's Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid. It's a major smackdown.

#16  I, once again, reiterate my quote from the Dixie Twits (spun toward Jimmuh):

"I am so embarrassed that our ex-President is from my home State of Georgia."

#15  Kinda makes me wonder if he isn't developing Altzheimer's or something. Anyone know how long he's been working on this book?

#14  Leaves out Cahtah. He hasn't got honesty or a soul.

Not according to too many true believers (like my siblings, unfortunately). Just last month I was listening to them spew the old "Carter was too decent a man to be a good president" line. GAG!

Leaves out Cahtah. He hasn't got honesty or a soul. :-(

#11  That really should be the forward to the book.

#10  Carter has never really gotten the justifiably vicious review of his presidency that he deserves.

The entire nation was just so glad at his departure that nobody got around to it.

However, in the future, Carter and Clinton will be inexorably tied together as utterly wasted, worse-than-useless presidencies. Being peers at the bottom of the class, comparisons will be inevitable.

And this will irritate both of them more than anything else.

#9  I love it when they eat their own.

#8  That's true, Ptah, but I can't change what the viewer said. We all understand what he meant, though, even if "Jew hater" is more precise.

#7  Carter is not anti-semitic: he loves the arabs, who also happen to be semitic.

Tell it like it is: He's a jew hater.

#6  No, TU3031, that's his life accomplishments.

#5  Carter has been forced to gulp twice in one week-once over being accused of being anti-Semitic on C-Span, once over a long-time and expert colleague basically saying that Carter fabricates truths about the conflict. Beautiful.

#4  Errors, omissions, inventions and falsehoods

Is that the title?

#3  Hammer time!! It sounds like he just might write a book answering this one. This will be fun!

#2  Ouch. Anyone with the slightest tinge of honesty in his soul would would be unable to venture forth from the darkest recesses of his home after Professor Stein's statement, lest someone aware of it might see him. Mr. Carter, however, will be unfazed, I'm quite certain, claiming special knowledge because of his special work experience.

#1  Being a former President does not give one a unique privilege to invent information or to unpack it with cuts, deftly slanted to provide a particular outlook.

Worked for Carter in the past. Slick Willie, too.
