Jimmy Carter Lusts for a Trump Posting
NY Times ^ | Oct. 21, 2017 | Maureen Dowd

...And yet, there is someone who is eager to work for President Trump.

The 93-year-old would like to pull another rabbit out of a hat — just not a killer rabbit — and enter into a productive partnership with Donald Trump over North Korea. When you think about it, though, it makes sense. One of the basic premises of the Carter Center is that you should talk to dictators.

The closest our two countries had come until now to resuming the Korean War was in 1994. Carter flew into Pyongyang on his own over the objections of President Bill Clinton and struck a deal with Kim Il-sung, the grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jung-un, and the man the grandson models himself on — right down to his hairstyle. North Korea secretly cheated on the deal by pursuing another path to a bomb just four years later.

If Carter really wants to go to N. Korea, he should be allowed, but only if he would stay there.

So he still has “lust in his heart”?

Fine. Ambassador to Antarctica comes to mind. Carter was useless and incompetent as POTUS , and is probably even worse now. Let him communicate with the penguins. About all he would be qualified for. MORON.

Trying to redeem himself by offering faint praise for Trump?

Wow. Sounds like MoDo still harbors some resentment over Clinton being scorned by Carter.

I wonder if she harbors any other such feelings.

Just what we need, another signed deal that can be looked at with scorn not six months later.

Didn’t Jimmah go to Venezuela to observe and certify Chavez’ election?

Getting Jummah involved in any official capacity would queer any resolution in America’s best interests.

You know what? Having made all the Carter jokes and wisecracks I need to make, I’m still thinking about the concept.

Maybe President Trump SHOULD enlist the ‘skill-set’ and resources of ex-president Carter. Hmmm.
The press would go Hog-Wild Crazy, not knowing just what to react to. Both GWB and Obama would seethe with jealousy.
Bill Clinton stands to gain the least by any such move. The left already continues to bow in his presence, impeachments and all.

Very easy rule to follow: never consult a leftist on anything.

No squib on MoDo without pics. Rules!

I’ll take Catherine Zeta-Jones in her cashmere minidress.

Palms, don’t start sweating yet. I’ll allow five minutes.

Having lived through the Carter years as a youth....no thanks. Everything he touched turned to rectal matter.

I’m sure Trump could find a sport for Carter that he could do little damage on. Helping re build Detroit with his Habitat for Humanity program. Or let him work in an embassy in Iran so he can see what damage he has caused the world.

No sale here on the claim that fat boy copied his hairdo from his grandfather. Fat boy may have copied the white walls from the gays or vice-versa.
