At 537 pages, former President Jimmy Carter's latest book, "White House Diary," is full of behind-the-scenes accounts of his time in the Oval Office - but one incident goes without mention, and it involves a rabbit.

In April of 1979, Carter used a paddle on his boat in Plains, Georgia to splash a rabbit and prevent it from swimming too close to his boat. Thirty-one years later, CNN's Howard Kurtz asked him about the ordeal.

"I was fishing one afternoon...," Carter said on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "...and a rabbit was being chased by hounds... he jumped in the water and swam toward my boat. When he got almost there, I splashed some water with a paddle."

If Carter was swimming near my boat I would splash him also with my anchor.

Killer rabbits. UFO’s...
I wonder if Obama will start seeing things too?

Laugh, all you want. What if he came after you?

If you look real hard you probably will see that odumbo is an alien.
Illegal or from other worlds.

Whatever you say, Jimmah...

If you ever need instructions on how to be a man, Sarah may indulge you...if you can get through the laughter.

He didn’t put it in his book? That was lame of him, it was the highlight of his tenure.

Just imagine if the rabbit had succeeded, John Wilkes Booth, Charles J. Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz, Lee Harvey Oswald, Roger Rabbit.

One of the few harmless things that vindictive idiot did during his administration.

"I was fishing one afternoon...," Carter said on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "...and a rabbit was being chased by hounds... he jumped in the water and swam toward my boat..."

....and we are supposed to believe that the Secret Service let someone hunt rabbit with hounds in proximity to the POTUS?

Riiiiiiight.

[NTHockey]

I wonder if he lets us in on the high level, top secret discussions he had with Amy (all of nine years old) regarding nuclear arms.

“a rabbit was being chased by hounds”

Right... Because all hunters use ‘hounds’ to chase rabbits especially when their is a US president protected by USSS agents in the area.

CARTER THE POTUS was probably scared $HITLESS of this rabbit advancing towards him at ramming speed.

So much for Jimmy's stewardship as a seaman!!!

Just our luck a shooting war did not break out while this Distinguished U.S. Naval Academy DUFUS was POTUS.

I don't know who is more pitiful, CARTER, Mike Mullen, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, or OBAMA, keeper of the joints.

Ole’ buck tooth had a rabbit, and BO has bees and flies. Weird.
