Mixed nuts, that's for sure!!! I feel sorry for her sons, having to deal with her neglect of them for her 'causes', and for her infecting them with liberalism! :-( What a waste.

A founding member of the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois met in New York City tonight with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Jodie Evans, who co-hosted Obama's first major fundraiser in Hollywood in February 2007 just after Obama announced his candidacy and is a top fundraiser and donor to Obama's campaign, led a delegation of leftist anti-American groups that held a private meeting near the United Nations. The stated purpose of the meeting was to "serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution" to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
The government of Iran is listed as a state sponsor of terrorism by the State Department and is strongly believed to be developing nuclear weapons.
Obama has stated that he would be willing to meet with Ahmadinejad and other enemies of the United States without conditions. Evans met with Obama in Beverly Hills last week at an exclusive $28,500 per person fundraiser. As a bundler for Obama, Evans is granted regular briefings with top Obama staff members and meeting with Obama and his vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.
Obama has come under heavy criticism from military families and troops support organizations over his alliance with Evans.
Evans is co-founder of the pro-terrorist group Code Pink and works with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine America in the war on terror. She also has publicly announced her support for the terrorists in Iraq, her sympathy for Osama bin Laden and her "love" of Hugo Chavez.
Given Evans' closeness to regular contacts with Obama and his campaign, it is fair to ask if she is acting as an intermediary for Obama.
Obama recently put his seal of approval on Evans' attempt to storm the stage during the acceptance speech of Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska when he welcomed her to his two Hollywood fundraisers last week, the exclusive $28,500 per person event and the $2500 per person event Barbra Streisand sang at the same evening.
Others attending the meeting with Ahmadinejad included anti-American activists who support the terrorists in Iraq and work anti-American governments: Medea Benjamin, Brian Becker, Leslie Cagan, Larry Holmes and Ramsey Clark.
The press release announcing the meeting can be found here.
Update: Jodie Evans issued the following statement tonight on her meeting with Ahmadinejad.
“It’s rare for a head of state to take time during an official U.N. visit to meet with the peace community, especially in a situation where the host government —represented by the Bush administration — is so hostile,” said Jodie Evans, co-founder of CODEPINK. “The fact that the meeting took place and was so positive is, in itself, a major step forward.”
Darn you! Now I won't get any sleep worrying over that tonight!
Will she be waving a "peace in our time" letter from President Tom?
From 1973 to 1982, Jodie worked on the campaigns of California governor Jerry Brown and served as his director of administration. She also oversaw the Office of Appropriate Technology, ushering in breakthroughs in wind and solar energy. Between 1985 and 1990, she supported women candidates for federal office as a board member of the Women’s Campaign Fund and Women’s Political Committee. She ran Jerry Brown’s campaign for president in 1991.
In the early 1990s Jodie opened the first environmental department store, Terra Verde, along with Tom Hayden and Cathryn Tiddens. Jodie serves on the boards of numerous non-profits including Rainforest Action Network, Drug Policy Alliance, Bioneers, the Garden Project, Community Self- Determination Institute, 826 LA, and the Circle of Life Foundation.
A mother of three, Jodie is a harpist, gardener, and potter when not working to end war.
Not sure if you are referring to Carter or Chamberlain, but you are right on!
I heard Rush mention her name last week, about a reception for our small friend, (I can say that, because I am tiny ;} being held in the Hyatt; which Penny’s family owns... I think that was the gist of it.
Also, Penny it is my understanding, that Penny is a MAJOR Obama fundraiser.

It can be argued that there are no bigger enemies of the United States than many that reside in Washington.
Mixed nuts, that's for sure!!! I feel sorry for her sons, having to deal with her neglect of them for her 'causes', and for her infecting them with liberalism! :-( What a waste.
So, did Obama allow reporters to accompany his aide to this meeting??? Did he even allow TV cameramen, or photogs? I’m guessing no...
He just couldn’t wait to be elected before sitting down with terrorist dictators could he... Oh what I would give to have been a fly on the wall in that meeting and hear what was REALLY said!
I don’t see how anyone can take us seriously as a nation anymore.
We have the son of a dem politician committing a felony by hacking the private email account of the republican VP nominee, and nothing is done.
The democrat nominee for president has met with the Prime Minister of Iraq in an attempt to undermine the POTUS and official US policy, and nothing is done.
Top members of the Obama campaign meet with a foreign leader who is considered our enemy, and nothing is done.
We have federal immigration laws that countless cities and municipalities have made a policy of ignoring, and nothing is done.
Greedy CEO’s and dem enacted legislation that has caused the near collapse of the banking and mortgage industries, and nothing is done (except of course for having US foot the bill for their greed/incompetence).
A media that has been fellating a terrorist sympathizing, black supremacist church going Barrack Obama while making up outrageous lies and slandering anyone who dares speak out against him, and nothing is done.
And on, and on, and on.
So I ask, in all seriousness, how in the world can we still be considered a serious nation? What is happening in this country is beyond sickening.
call me if you need me!
Gotta work overtime over the next 4 weeks to make sure that scene is NOT repeated in the White House!
Check this out Mark! Please show it to Rush, Sean, etc!
Just like Kerry in Paris with the North Vietnamese.
“I took him into the National Gallery and put him to sleep on a bench and told him I’d be back after the march. So I did the march without him, and when I got back, he was still asleep!”
ATTENTION LAWYERS! Is there any statute of limitations for child neglect?
She can go to jail for that hopefully, to say nothing of the Logan Act. And why wasn’t she arrested at the convention for disorderly conduct???
She sounds like the Communist version of Sarah Palin!
Hippie freak!
Or a good sharpened & grooved carrot on a stick. I’d truly like to see lefties spending the rest of their lives trying to ban carrots and shut down vegatable stands.

Jodie Evans, Max Palevsky (billionaire & husband of Jodie Evans) , and Diane Keaton.
Max Palevsky (1924-): Venture capitalist and Democratic Party fundraiser who financed antiwar movement.
Max Palevsky, who in 1969 sold his 6-year-old firm, Scientific Data Systems, to Xerox for $1 billion and was later a founder and director of Intel Corp.
Married and divorced five times with six children born from 1958 to 1985.
Evans blames her financial support for Obama on her 'husband', Max Palevsky: "Since I'm his wife, I get tied to that effort because the money's going through both of us."
it might explain the $2300 contribution to Obama by Evans and Palevsky's unemployed student son, Matthew Palevsky
Most of Evans' money comes from a failed marriage with Westside financier Max Palevsky, a billionaire who cashed in on a computer business in the late '60s. Evans took the cash and has invested in anti-American, anti-capitalist ventures.
In federal documents relating to her donations to Obama, Evans listed Code Pink as her employer.
