President Carter personally called Secretary of State Rice to try to convince her to reverse her U.N. ambassador's position on changes to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the former president recalled yesterday in a talk in which he also criticized President Bush's Christian bona fides and misstated past American policies on Israel.
Mr. Carter said he made a personal promise to ambassadors from Egypt, Pakistan, and Cuba on the U.N. change issue that was undermined by America's ambassador, John Bolton. "My hope is that when the vote is taken," he told the Council on Foreign Relations, "the other members will outvote the United States."
While other former presidents have tried to refrain from attacking the sitting chief executive, Mr. Carter's attacks on President Bush have increased. The episode he recounted yesterday showed how he tried to undermine officials at lower levels in an effort to influence policy.

What an annoying little worm...
Why did she take the call?
I hope Secretary Rice had the good sense to hang up the phone!
I hope that's carved on his tombstone. Fear of being banned stops me from posting when I think that should happen.
"Mr. Carter said he made a personal promise to ambassadors from Egypt, Pakistan, and Cuba on the U.N. change issue that was undermined by America's ambassador, John Bolton."
Carter needs to be slapped publicly with an injunction forbidding him from attempting to speak for the United States of America, and a memorandum to all Nations stating that he has no authority to speak for USG.
I think what he really meant is that he made a personal promise to these ambassadors that undermines the current administration's foreign policy position.
Maybe that is why Bush appointed Bolton instead of carter as Ambassador to the UN.
Great post
Very nicely put.
This idiot is an evil menance.
John Bolton is the best thing that ever happened to us. .
Ex-presidents should be forbidden by law, to continue to engage in politics. Carter has zero authority to act in behalf of the American people, yet he arrogantly continues to do so..
I don't know where he gets his chutspah!.
My spelling can be a menace too.
Welcome aboard.
Carter is more full of shite' than a Christmas Turkey BUMP!
Mr. Carter said he made a personal promise to ambassadors from Egypt, Pakistan, and Cuba on the U.N. change issue that was undermined by America's ambassador, John Bolton...One of the things I assured them of was that the United States was not going to dominate all the other nations of the world in the Human Rights Council...
I'm sure there's an ex-President exception.
The Logan Act, codified at 18 USC 953 states:Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may by, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. The Logan Act
Somehow I can't rid myself of the mental picture. "George Clooney in drag". One day the Globalists may even apologize for pushing this cretin for president!

..................
The essence of my faith is one of peace." In a clear swipe at Mr. Bush's faith, and to a round of applause, he then added, "We worship the prince of peace, not of pre-emptive war."He also reiterated his known view that most of the problems in the Israeli-Arab front derive from Israel's settlement policies and its building of a defensive barrier in what he insisted on calling "Palestine." "From Dwight Eisenhower to the road map of George W. Bush, our policy has been that Israel's borders coincide with those of 1949," Mr. Carter said, adding, "All my predecessors have categorized each settlement as both illegal and an obstacle to peace."
On April 14, 2004,President Bush said in a speech, "In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli population centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949." He later cemented that statement in a letter to Prime Minister Sharon, which became the stated American policy on Israeli settlements.

Cyrus Vance…confirmed to then-New York mayor Ed Koch that Carter, if reelected, would "sell out" the Jews
Jimmy Carter shortly before the 1980 election…at a March 1980 meeting with his senior political advisers, angrily snapped, "If I get back in, I`m going to f--- the Jews."
Jimmy Carter, March 1980…had I been elected to a second term, with the prestige and authority and influence and reputation I had in the region, we could have moved to a final solution
Jimmy Carter, 12-1-2003
Why does he dislike his own country?
It's not enforced, but in my mind this is a clear violation of the Logan Act.

worm is not a low enough term.
Carter is trying to salvage his wacko socialist world view for his own "legacy".
The man is certifiable. It is now a race to see who is the worst ex president, clinton or carter.
one more for our side. By the way, we've decided to take a trick from the Dems playbook, and have stopped going to movies. Why subsidize an industry devoted to pressing the hard left Democratic agenda? Anyone agree with this?
Nice profile page.
To accomodate all the people waiting to commemorate his death approriately, his tombstone should be in the shape of a urinal. The only fitting epitaph would be "Please Flush".
At least LBJ went away after he left office.
He must be ecstatic about that high school teacher in Colorado.
Nothing in the carefully worded first sentence of the article indicates that she did take the call.
President Carter personally called Secretary of State Rice to try to convince her to reverse her U.N. ambassador's position on changes to the U.N. Human Rights Commission...
Unreal......ping.
"What an annoying little worm..."
Annoying, baloney. This man is
becoming dangerous. I think he is
crazier than a loon.
Thank you ever so much.
You're most gracious.
;-)
Why thank you!
Jimmy Carter got fired from his job. Someone needs to take out a restaining order against him.
STAND FIRM Condi!!!!!

The cigarette bans/taxes, coffee bans/taxes, the SCHOOL LUNCH programs, AND the NAIS/animal tagging are all part of Healthy People 2010
http://www.mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/features/hp2010/
Since its inception in 1979, Healthy People has moved the nation from assessing health status to projecting and forecasting what is possible to achieve through preventive interventions and proven clinical preventive services. The initiative provides a time capsule snapshot of the progress of the health of the nation in the last part of the century. Healthy People has enjoyed the bipartisan support of four administrations.
Other participants in the launch of Healthy People 2010 will be former President Jimmy Carter (via videotaped message), former HHS Secretary Louis Sullivan, former Surgeon General Julius Richmond, many former HHS assistant secretaries, and other high-ranking government officials. Leaders from public health, health care, business, and other sectors will also participate. It will bring together 2,010 people from a wide range of professional fields including public health, health education, government, academia, the technology sector, and many more. The conference will also host the release of new "Leading Health Indicators" that define 10 key health measures of broad importance.
I am sorry. I did write a blog on her though

Dr. Condoleeza Rice is Aunt Jemima
Doesn't he have "handlers" to prevent him from doing foolish things?
It seems that he peanuts proved small and that he prefer harvesting bushels of pecunia.
