The Rabbit
President Jimmy Carter in his boat.

We've been following the proposed United Nations Human Rights Council to take the place of the disgraced and disgraceful United Nations Human Rights Commission. Last week Ambassador Bolton took a leaf from the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" and pronounced the proposed new Council the same as the same as the bad old Commission. This week Secretary Rice confirmed that the United States opposed the new Council.
Just one problem. The New York Sun reports that Jimmy Carter had personaly promised the ambassadors from Egypt, Pakistan, and Cuba that the Council was a done deal:
The story, as Mr. Carter recalled, began with a recent dinner for 17 he attended in New York, where the guests included the president of the U.N. General Assembly, Jan Eliasson; an unidentified American representative, and other U.N. ambassadors from "powerful" countries at Turtle Bay, of which he mentioned only three: Cuba, Egypt, and Pakistan. The topic was the ongoing negotiations on an attempt to replace the widely discredited Geneva-based Human Rights Commission with a more accountable Human Rights Council.
"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," Mr. Carter said. However, on the next day, Mr. Carter said, Mr. Bolton publicly "demanded" that the five permanent members of the Security Council will have permanent seats on the new council as well, "which subverted exactly what I have promised them," Mr. Carter said.
"So I called Condoleezza Rice and told her about the problem, and she said that that statement by our representative was not going to be honored," he said. But despite Mr. Carter's assessment that there are "a lot of people" in Washington who oppose Mr. Bolton on the Human Rights Council, Mr. Bolton's opposition to the proposed new structure became American policy.
Jimmy Carter seems under the illusion that Ambassador Bolton is acting as a free agent when he speaks in public on questions related to the United Nations. The Sun helpfully adds:
Mr. Bolton's spokesman, Richard Grenell, told The New York Sun yesterday that it is "naive" to think that Mr. Bolton has "a different position than the rest of the United States government on this issue."
Jimmy Carter seems to be confusing the Bush administration with his own, in which United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young defied Carter administration policy and got himself fired. Next thing you know, Carter will "fire" Ambassador Bolton.
Who does this idiot think he is to be making promises about our foreign policy to other countries anyway?
On top of being a traitor and an absolute failure as both President and ex-President he's now gone senile!
Jimmy Carter: Nut.
Sky: Blue.
Grand Canyon: Wide.
Sun: Rises in East.
Headline: Obvious.
Looks like Jimmuh's peanut brain has turned to peanut butter and gotten a little to thick.
This guy was the worst President of the 20th Century. Why does he continue to get any press. GEESH!!!!
Why is Carter promising anybody anything??
And is Secretary Rice really taking this idiot's phone calls???
Once again Carter is wrong AND over the top. Why can't he just SHUT UP???
He goes to a dinner and thinks he's running the show?
He's not only nuts, he's dangerous.
The Carter presidency was the reason why I could never forgive Nixon for Watergate !
If there's any justice this vicious old man will have a public melt down and be led away, babbling and drooling.
I predict Jimma comes down with a case of Arkacide when Kofi is forced down and Jimma and Slick vie for "World President".
When is this clown going to go away?
Whenever I see Carter's name I think of the cartoon with Mr. Peanut leaving his house and telling his wife, "I'll be back in a Jif."
Jimmy Carter - The Migraine that won't go away.........
Jimmy Carter -- The Hemorrhoid that won't go away -- a real pain in the a$$.
In his 1982 presidential memoir, Carter cited as his biggest mistake "allowing Ronald Reagan to become President of the United States."
Heh... I posted this a bit ago @ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1589197/posts but its my fault I renamed the 'subject' since it didn't seem very useful in describing the content of the story.
"Jimmy Carter: Nut" could be the headline for any story involving Jimmah.
I saw "The Unfinished Presidency," in a bookstore in Minneapolis a few weeks ago and thought, "thank goodness."
I bought a copy of "The Real Jimmy Carter" by Stephen Hayward off of EBay last week - I hope it comes in the mail today. It's fun to read the left's reviews of the book on Amazon.com.
I had to look on the date to make sure it wasnt published when Carter was President. Who the hell does he think he is? He cant make promises that this country has to accept.
He was voted out as the most inept president that ever existed and he is now the most inept ex- President we ever had with bill Clinton bringing up the rear at a fast pace.
If this keeps up we should pass a law that when a President goes out of office he is held incommunicado at Gitmo with the rest of those who would interfere in our Government.
Does he think he still has any say in the matter?
Still delusional....
Go away Carter and take your buddy Bill with you...
Caahtuh promises: as worthless and dangerous as a socialist's utopian dream
...and he's making promises to all the wrong people--why?
HF
Somebody should point out to Jimmuh that it is illegal for private citizens to conduct foreign policy.
Shouldn't that be Jimmy Carter: PEAnut?

President Jimmy Carter in his boat.
The reason why this country is becoming more and more messed up is because we allow blatant anti-American garbage like this. We allow treason, we allow sedition, we allow anti-American lunatics to negotiate with our enemies, etc. This step by step destruction from within will never stop, and only get worse, unless these people are forced to face the consequences of their actions.
Carter's mother had the biggest boobs in America -Jimmy and Billy.
Why is this idiot even allowed out in public? Is it any wonder the UN is so screwed up when you have idiots like that involved with it? Add people like Jane Goodall (the woman who tried to breed with monkeys) Maurice Strong, Jean Chretien then you why they would assemble a human rights panel with members like Pakistan, Cuba and Egypt on it, some of the most corrupt and brutal on earth.
"King" Carter - The Pea NUT King
Carter thinks HE speaks for the USA.
He wanted his Carter Center to be a shadow state department which he alone would control.
We need an accurate documentary (very slick and professional) about the dark side of the ex-president Carter.
What the hell is Carter doing making foreign deals? Isn't that like, against the law or sumtin?
Jimmy Carter: Miserable Disgrace to America
Remember when he touted himself as the president most interested in human rights around the world? Why then does he love despots and dictators so much? Does he think if you treat them nicely and appease their insanity and demands they will reform themselves? Yes, he is nutty as a fruitcake.
Carter is in denial over what happened on January 20, 1981 at noontime: the People of the United States of America sent his worthless, pathetic ass packing and we swore in a real man as our President. Jimmy, you were FIRED!!!! Now BEAT IT!!!!
In my opinion - he does that every time he opens his mouth in public!
