The strangest thing about our 39th President’s book is that he raised all of this hub-bub with the word “apartheid” in the title, but the book itself is lame, lame, lame!
He goes through all of his contortions, blaming mostly, but not entirely, Israel and the United States for the continual divide, yet still comes up with nothing more than a bland, Resolution 242 solution. He tells us how Menachem Begin, with whom he dealt during the Camp David meetings, was an extremist and former terrorist, while Anwar al-Sadat, who ordered the 1973 attack on Israel, was his favoritest of all foreign leaders, and Yassir Arafat, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, was a “strong leader,” but, oddly enough, was never an “extremist” or “terrorist” in Mr Carter’s book.
Yeah, as much as I hated to contribute one shilling to Mr Carter’s purse, I did buy the book—and I read it. It didn’t take long; the publisher used all of the tricks of large typeface and white space to make it seem substantial, but it really isn’t. In fact, it’s so lame that if it hadn’t been written by a former president, Simon & Schuster would have rejected the manuscript.
Its funny, I grew up in the Reagan era but was never tought how close we were to collapse during Carter. All I knew was he ‘Saved The Middle East’ and built houses. Then I started studying on my own time.
Jimmah Carter is a pimple on the ass of the world. A total embarrassment as president and a total dictator-supporting, Mooselimb money-grubbing, Jew hating douchebag.
The peace accord that Jimmy Carter brokered between Israel and Egypt has lasted almost 30 years.
Remarkable. Egyptian rhetoric (even if it’s not necessarily the official gov’t position) toward Israel as well as turning a blind eye toward smuggling actions on the border constitutes peace, eh?
Oh, sorry. Just my aluminum foil crinkling a little bit. The downdraft from the black UN helicopters causes that to happen *all the time.* It’s so embarassing.
Except for that four year president thing, he’s a damn good carpenter.
No, he’s not. He didn’t start Habitat for Humanity; he’s just their most famous volunteer. There’s some value to the recognition he brought them, but I think it’s massively offset by all the people killed by the dictators he fellated over the years.
Patrick J. Buchanan: “Hey, maybe I’ve been wrong about Jimmy Carter all these years.”

My own blog flog: Part 1, Part 2, and the Conclusion of a three-part book review.
Pffft. Shows what Jimmah knows. They don’t need “falsehood and slander to raise funds.” They’ve got the “New York money men” for that.
See, not all born again Christians support Israel.

But what does he know about bringing peace to the Middle East?
Okay, so Alphie believes that Gen. Meade won the Civil War, and that Camp David brought peace to the Middle East.
Worst. President. Ever.

Clinton was like… awesome compared to him.
That’s because Eqypt discovered the genious of plausible deniability like all of Israel’s neighbors.

And a couple billion a year in US aid.

Coincidence? I think not.
Hey, what’s that noise?

“If I was a carpenter,
And you were a dictator,
Would marry me anyway,
And send millions to my center?
Dammit, Alphie, I was almost convinced you knew what you were talking about, too. Even after the General Meade stuff. Shit.
No, he’s not. He didn’t start Habitat for Humanity; he’s just their most famous volunteer. There’s some value to the recognition he brought them, but I think it’s massively offset by all the people killed by the dictators he fellated over the years.
Bob. The whole point being, he should have made pounding nails his lifes work. he was an utter failure as a president.
“Falsehoods and slander.”
That should have been the title of the book in question.
I think I have been wrong about Carter too. He should have come to the conference in Iran.
Oh yeah, they used to hate him there. If he keeps this up they may change their tune.
Oh, do what he SAY! DO WHAT he SAY!!11!
