Never Stop Being You, Jimmy
NY Sun: CBS stockholders plan to give it to CBS subsidiary Simon & Schuster over Carter’s “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” slammed for being an anti-Israeli diatribe and “a pack of demonstrable lies” on “page after page.”
These are never simple issues. Personally, I support freedom of speech, especially in the case of Jimmy Carter, who digs the hole deeper every time he opens his mouth. Paying him to do so and profiteering off it is another matter. Publishing untruths, also to be frowned upon.
But if the result is to demonstrate to the world and amplify Carter’s self-beclownment, then serious publishers and their shareholders must ask themselves whether a higher purpose is not in fact being served.

The damage he does to the hysterical anti-semitic left isn’t worth the damage he does to the institution of the presidency. It isn’t that presidents should be worthy of worship, but they at least should preserve some dignity and decorum. Which is why they should shut up and go away the minute they leave office, only to be trotted out at state funerals and other ceremonial occasions. And that goes double for Ex-president Bucktooth McPeanut.

The man has never forgiven the American people for voting him out of office and does all he can to punish us. He’s as lousy an ex-president as he was a president. He just keeps building on his mistakes.
At least we don’t have to keep hearing about how he’s a good man who is simply mistaken. I thought he was an evil bastard before he was elected and he’s only proven me right with every word and deed since.
