Shouldn’t they work on getting him a brain first?

Will they be doing a liver transplant on him: replacing his chicken liver with a human one.

Unless it was a fast growing mass, he would likely have died from another cause in the future before this mass would have done him in.

How do they discover a “small mass” on the liver of a 90 year old?

He probably had an abnormal blood test or had abdominal pain, got a CT scan and it showed an abnormality in the liver.

No surgeon would operate on a 90 y.o. guy to take out a benign, "small" tumor. The risk-benefit calculation is not in the right direction.

My opinion is that what was removed was most likely malignant, either a liver cancer (hepatoma) or spread from somewhere else (like a colon cancer, which tends to spread to the liver).

God loves even this fool Jimmy. He has really given him a lot of time to get right. God doesn’t give up on His enemies. Imagine what the NT would be like without Paul.

Blood work levels indicate a problem with the liver, and/or corresponding stool change.

Jimmah Carter is the best evidence that we have that the “good die young” as this old evil coot will probably live till the sun explodes./..

Yeah, but he’s wasting valuable operating room time.

Besides, as a Leftist he doesn’t think hospitals or physicians should make money off health care provision.

It should all be operated as a loss, only the government being able to pay.

Cash? Unquestionably evil...

Good thing he didn’t plan on his book being “A Full Life: Looking Back at Ninety-One”.

He seems to believe that for-profit corporations should not be allowed to donate money to political action committees but that not-for-profit corporations (such as the AFL-CIO, the AFT, the UAW, etc.) should be unhindered. He was a bad president and an even worse ex-president.

I am certain Billy Carter is in Heaven. I am not so certain Jimmy Carter is destined to join him. After all, Jimmy is a sanctimonious, holier-than-thou type who believes that whatever he does is God’s will. I suspect God may question allowing the devil-worshippers in Teheran to raise to power after he pulled the rug out from under the Shah might have God introducing him to al-Lah a/k/a Satan before too long.

Whoever that doctor is (Obamacare writer), the age he hoped to die is 75.

I’m pretty sure Carter is much older than 75.
