Remarks by Jimmy Carter at the University of Havana, Cuba Text from Carter Center.

Here's a little jab at Bush:

Democracy is a framework that permits a people to accommodate changing times and correct past mistakes. Since our independence, the United States has rid itself of slavery, granted women the right to vote, ended almost a century of legal racial discrimination, and just this year reformed its election laws to correct problems we faced in Florida eighteen months ago.

Imus just played a clip from last night's Jay Leno Show.

Referring to Fidel and Jimmy hugging, Leno said,

"The last time an American President embraced a Cuban like that, he got impeached."
