Most of you know that I’m not too fond of Jimmy Carter. What’s amazing to me is that every time he opens his mouth, I like him less. Take, for example, his latest remarks in the New York Times regarding Yassir Arafat:

In effect, peace efforts of a long line of previous administrations have been abandoned by President Bush and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. For the last three years of his life, Mr. Arafat was incapacitated and held as a prisoner, humiliated by his physical incarceration and excluded by the other two leaders from any recognition as the legitimate head of the Palestinian community.

Bush’s fault. Bush’s fault. It’s all Bush’s fault. And the Jews. It’s their fault too. What if George W. Bush were Jewish? Oooooh…..

Another deeply disturbing change is the decision by Hamas and other militant factions to resort to suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism, whereas the hope for peace and justice discouraged such violence eight years ago. After that election, Hamas representatives rejected my efforts to have them accept Mr. Arafat as their political leader, and they continue to act independently.

Apparently, “acting independently” means blowing yourself up in supermarkets and busses, killing innocent people. Carter fails to mention this.

Give it up, Jimmy. He’s dead. You can stop kissing his ass now.
