I don’t think irony is obvious to Carter either.
As most people around the world now know President Carter was the man truly elected in Florida, and unlike the criminal Bush, who has killed so many Palestinians and Iraqis, President Carter is the man who best represents the will of the American people.
“I guess I slept through that part of history.”
It’s a shame you missed it CH, ‘cause it was big news in the Gaza strip and North Korea a few years back.
