And if they did tell him not to go...he'd start crying about being bullied by Bush
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Tuesday refuted a statement by former president Jimmy Carter that no one in the U.S. government told him not to go on a trip to the Middle East, where he met with the leadership of the militant group Hamas.
"I just don't want there to be any confusion," Rice told reporters outside an international meeting on Iraq she is attending here. "The United States is not going to deal with Hamas, and we certainly told President Carter that meeting with Hamas was not going to help" the situation in the Middle East.
Carter has said he met with Assistant Secretary of State C. David Welch, who indicated that the trip was not advisable but did not tell him not to go.
Aren't there houses to build? Does he really need to go bopping about the Middle East talking to terrorists and trying to cut peace deals? Didn't he used to have a job that was like that a long time ago? Oh right, he did and he SUCKED AT IT!
Move on, Jimmah! The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists. That's like a policy or something...

If we know anything about her at this late date, it is that she has no credibility whatsoever.
Didn't he used to have a job that was like that a long time ago? Oh right, he did and he SUCKED AT IT!
Granted, he wasn't the best. But when Condoleeza Rice is the one criticizing him, I think it begs the question (and the answer): George W. Bush isn't fit to tie Jimmy Carter's shoelaces.
Move on, Jimmah! The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists. That's like a policy or something...
"Or something?"
We're backing a Shi'ite government faction in Baghdad that gets support from the Iranians -- the same Iranians whose army was designated a terrorist organization.
Wake up, Rosemary! It's time for school!
P.S. I asked Jerry if he was the one who re-wrote my comments. He hasn't answered back yet; I'll let you know what he says. Hopefully he won't re-write this one to make it sound like I support Bush or something.
But you never know, do you?
So could you please not change my comments? What you're doing is wrong for two reasons:
1. You're making it appear that I said kill whitey, which I did not. IOW, you're lying.
2. You are removing a backlink to something something someone else said, covering it up. Why would you want to cover up K-Whitey's racist comment? Jerry, you should know by now: the crime is always worse when you try to cover it up.
I'm very disappointed in you and this blog. First we get a racist co-blogger; then a swastika in the sidebar; then a Nazi; now a cover up of all that, and more?
This place is melting down, alright, just like SPoDE.
I was not going to sit idly by and let Kill + Whitey bring up anything to do with QOAE.net.
Tell it to Google, pal.
That boat left the dock when he started writing here.

I loved his response to Condi:I love the smell of conservative spreading democracy at the point of a gun. I smell just like any other bullshit they try to spread morning, noon and night.
Then came the ominous failure, Billy Beer.
Okay, can we get back to the part where the giant Israeli kitty slays the zionist cheese rat from Wisconsin.
I give Carter tons of credit for at least acknowledging that.
The danger is that their military wing is stateless, just like Hezbullah. It can have a hugely destabilizing effect in the ME. And their charter (in the first paragraph, IIRC) calls for the destruction of its next door neighbor. I think that's unprecedented -- and very bad.
The opportunity lies in it's "democratic" foundations and in its non-military wing: all the roads, hospitals, etc. that it builds.
Look: you will find no bigger Zionist around here than me (and that includes you, Arnold, you Jew-hating bastard).
But, the fact remains: all the nukes in the universe aren't going to protect Israel from Hamas. So I think it's time for a different approach. And that goes for Israel AND the US.
Is Carter doing the right thing? Well, let's say this: he's closer to a solution than Condi Rice will ever be.
The best part of the Jimmy saga I liked was when Billy Carter got off the plane from Libya and urinated all over the tarmac at Andrew's AFB.
Not everything has to be a joke, you know. Sometimes the grown up thing to do is get serious, even for a little while.
P.S. Stop living in the past.
Maybe you missed it.
Hiya, amh Jimmy Cartah and amh a nuclear engineer and I wanna be your president.
In diplomatic speak is there even 2 millimeters of parsing distance between "not advisable" and "not to go"? I would think the distance shrinks even further when it is an Assistant Sect'y talking to a former President.
Stop. Living. In the past.
Hiya, amh Jimmy Cartah and amh a nuclear engineer and I wanna be your president.
Now we're doing impressions! Great. Can you make your asshole sing like Sarah Silverman? No wait -- I'm being told that was her coochie.
Can you make your coochie sing like Sarah Silverman?

Two millimeters?? Dude, sharpen your pencil: diplo-speak is measured in nanometers.
That's what Mr. 28% has done for our country: he makes even Jimmy Carter look good.
Who'd a thunk it possible?
Good frigging grief.
Ha! Good one.
Oh but they're not, my friend.
When you send George Bush on a jet fighter to France to cut a deal with the Iranians not to release hostages until after you beat Carter what do you expect? You're gonna brag about that shit for years.
* That was the most fantastical version of the October Surprise conspiracy theory I could recall having read or heard.
Jr. Sect'y to former President they most certainly are the same. If Carter wanted a more refined answer (or an answer that more accurately reflected the current administrations position) the onus was on him to go to Rice or directly to Bush.
Dude. Every time you type out those words, it is you that 'ARA' saying them. Mr. W wrote it once, you've written it a couple dozen times. You don't like me changing the link? Then stop doing writing out that phrase! You're a fucking joke and you have been for years. The reason Rose hasn't banned your stupid ass is because you're fodder for her and the rest of us right wingers..
Jerry
PS. I will not EVER change anything you write except that linkage to the disparaging comment. I just want to make that clear since it's only a matter of time before you resort to the 'I didn't say that, Rose &Jerry changed my comment'.
Well, no, he hasn't quite done that yet. You'd have to show me a poll by a reputable polling organization who surveyed Americans:
* over 40
* who lived through both administrations, and
* who REMEMBER both administrations.
And then, a majority would have to say Dubya was worse than Carter.
I mean, if Carter was so great, why don't you nominate him in 2008. He's got a second term coming to him. Hey, at a brokered convention, you still can. Go ahead! Bring him on!
By that logic it would be safe for me to write out some tripe that Rev Wright spewed as long as it's linked.
Do I have that right "Mashugana" Rubyan??
Or do special rules apply to racist hate mongers like you and the Ohio lawyer??
Every time you type out those words, it is you that 'ARA' saying them.
So every time you say the Lord's Prayer it's clear that you wrote it?
You've gone nuts, man. Completely insane.
Mr. W wrote it once, you've written it a couple dozen times.
Yes.
Jesus!
I mean, "Yes, Jesus."
And the idiotic thing about Republican hacks is that they think its alright to change what was written into something that is a 100% lie.
Saying something verbally and typing it out on a blog are two different things. Of course, you're not that bright so I must spell it out for you.
Maybe you should:
Wake Up "Mashugana" Ara, It's time for school.
But of course:
IJS
Jerry, you're right. Special rules do indeed apply to Ara and me. Didn't you get the memo?
Geez, Jerry. Check the handbook next time.
Just to see who all I can piss off today (haven't hit my daily quota yet) ... FORD was the best President we had in the last 40 years. I still don't know how an honest man became President (or even got into politics), but he did what he had to do to save the us from itself and it's corrupt boss.
Now, let the shit flinging begin! :)
That guy that kept falling down?
I'll try harder next time.
Rhianna.
Ara's in need of attention so he's trying to annoy Rose to the point where she bans him. The problem is, she will never ban anyone so Ara will never get the chance to call her a hypocrite.
I'm just taking it upon myself to annoy him to the point that maybe he'll take the hint and leave.
But he's a persistent little fella..
He's like a less intelligent version of SPoDE.
I'd appreciate it if you'd not delete my last two comments. Just because you're pissed at me doesn't mean you can just selectively ban me.
P.S. I don't think meshugana means what you think it means.
Not possible, and certainly not close to true.
but...but...but...jerry, if she banned me how could say anything?
luckily for me, I can call her a hypocrite for putting up a swastika on her site and having a racist boyfriend and then hiding behind you because she's too much of a hypocritical chickenshit blowhard to stand up for herself.
One of the things that most surprised me when we took the place over was the vast number of drunken regulars we have who will spout the sheerest nonsense about politics every damn day -- and proudly tell me they (thank god) never vote.
I didn't put a swastika on my site you obtuse asshole and you well know it. I don't have a racist boyfriend either.
What I do have is a site that is full of hypocritical assholes that like to come here shit on me, my heritage and anything else they can think of because I won't be intimidated by the fascist tactics the likes of which only SPoDE himself could hope to come close to someday. You whiny assholes only seem to appreciate freedom of speech when it is speech you agree with. I, like the ACLU, will defend EVERYONE'S RIGHT.
Fuck Off!
I see that Ara the Ignorant Armenian has struck again ... with his usual stupid bullshit. Ya know, one thing I've noticed about you, Ara ... you love to harp on things. In fact, you're worse than a woman. (No offense to the many good women I know.) When you're not repeatedly linking and bringing up my "kill whitey" statement (another personal achievement I'm proud of), you're going on and on about the "swastika" placed in an ad on my Queen's site.
Surely a man of your erudite nature can easily see that the offending symbol is used on a picket sign of an animal rights advocated (who's no doubt a liberal) to refer to someone named Basso as a nazi for his cruel and unusual treatment of animal vis-a-vis the fur trade. In other words, the person who painted that placard is a lot like you and Mark in their use of the word "Nazi" and the "swastika."
And I don't even know why I'm telling you this, Gramps. Surely a liberal of your advanced years would recognize such a thing.
I'm not even gonna bother addressing the "racist boyfriend" comment, as neither you nor Mark have been able to prove that flimsy allegation since I've requested you to do many blogs back!
I'm Mr. Wonderful, and I approve this message.
This is the part I like best---yorn arrogance:
"One of the things that most surprised me when we took the place over..."
Ha ha.
OK,
This ones ferr mark.
Someone’s got to do it and no one in the current administration has the talent, brains or moral authority.
Maybe you missed it."
Could be, compared to a "million year" war slaughtering thousands of American soldiers, millions of innocent Muslims and all of our futures, over nothing, it was easy to miss.
I'm gettin to ya, ain't I SuperWhitey?
In fact, you're worse than a woman.
Oh, snap! How can I answer that??

Oh shut your f*cking piehole you ignorant racist. I know exactly what was going on there. But the fact remains: a swastsika is repulsive whether it's waved by a Republican or a Democrat, a conservative or a liberal, a vegan or a carnivore.
How stupid do you have to be to not "get" that?
And it's even worse if you try to excuse it by saying you "got money" for displaying it -- more money than you're getting in child support.
That's God's way of saying you are really, really, really scraping the bottom of the scummy barrel.
I'm not even gonna bother addressing the "racist boyfriend" comment,
...because down deep you know you can't you chickenshit coward racist goober.
I'm Mr. Wonderful, and I approve this message.
Dude -- how much do you have to eat to get your head to be that big?
Not half as stupid as you for putting that much power into an outdated and bastardized ancient Nordic symbol.
...because down deep you know you can't you chickenshit coward racist goober.
Tell me Ara, because I'm curious - how much money have you donated to the United Negro College Fundduring the past three years? And, can you provide receipts for said donations?
Often and it is a very satisfying experience...for me.
And it's even worse if you try to excuse it by saying you "got money" for displaying it -- more money than you're getting in child support.
No, what's worse is when a person claiming to be your "friend" comes into your space and continues to hit below the belt like a spoiled child because he didn't get his way.
Your opinion of me won't feed my kids, Blogads will.
...because down deep you know you can't you chickenshit coward racist goober.
He didn't bother because he knows that you can't be reasoned with you close-minded, obtuse, geriatric hippie wannabe.
My wife and I took over running my father-in-law's bar in 2000, the reason I moved to Toledo.
I don't know what you are referring to, but that's what I was talking about -- seeing some guys (like in the video you posted "ferr Ara" across a sea of Budweiser cans and Jack Daniels bottles spouting off about politics.
Were you assuming that I was talking about this blog? Sorry, that was furthest from my intent and I regret any miscommunication.
and later in the same comment:
Mr. Wonderful: 1
SPoDE wannabe: 0
I can see where Mck would be confused. There are so many side conversations going on, its hard to know whats what. I too was confused. Thanks to your follow up, I was able to go back and read it in the proper context.
Jerry
That's why even liberal use of winkies is often inadequate to impart meaning in this media.
This is the part I like best---yorn arrogance:
"One of the things that most surprised me when we took the place over..."
Ha ha.
If you can't run with the big dogs, you better stay on the porch.
you close-minded, obtuse, geriatric hippie wannabe.
I am not geriatric! [IWH]
P.S. Listen, I've stuck by you through thick and thin. You know I love you.
It's your boyfriend I can't stand.
I prefer the term "partner," "soulmate" or "royal sex slave," if you don't mind!
Partner?! My, how PC of you Mr.W!
LOL
Ugh.
I don't mind. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Thank you. And I'm sure it should last a good long time, too.
(Please excuse my deplorable anti-Jesus comment.)
65 comments? I can't even fathom reading them all. Am tired, long day, etc.
Carter may be many things, and have many faults. But he is not a liar, and does not refrain from responsibility for his actions. I'll take his word over Rice's every day of the week.
Disagree all you want, the man is a Southern Gentleman who tells it like it is.
