It defies belief. Ex-President Jimmy Carter, who crystallized a fraudulent recall referendum for Venezuela's dictator Hugo Chavez, now says his Carter Center will return to Caracas "to help consolidate peace and democracy." He also says he's got a final report on the Venezuelan recall referendum. (There've been some other final reports but somehow he's got to issue a final final final report) He's up to no good.
No one has demoralized Venezuela's democracy more than America's worst-ever president. The only legitimate reason he has to go to Caracas is to beg Venezuelans for forgiveness after that sorry show he put on last August, endorsing an election that was clearly stolen with his complicity. The Carter Center's shoddy election monitoring and mendacious spin control in the aftermath turned a profound exercise in democracy into a miserable affair swept under the rug, while Carter prepared to move on to the next election.
But something happened along the way to the next election: The State Department declined to endorse Carter's recall referendum observational results, as it had announced it would, and nobody important wanted the Carter Center's business anymore. Carter was conspicuously absent from the dead-serious elections in Ukraine and Iraq recently. Ever the vindictive little man, Carter "participated" in those by sniping at these great human events from the sidelines. For that, President Bush didn't care to call on him to lead tsunami relief either, as he did all other able-bodied former presidents.

You're so right. Three strikes for me with a wet peanut.
But his fellow Demorat Clinton deserves some credit for that too, along with the fetching Ms. Albright.
True, but lets not forget that Jimmah did make the play that forced Clintoon into it.
"Give Carter a little respect. He served his country in the military as a nuclear physic."
As little respect as possible.
No. Whatever he did was a disgrace.
Didn't he sit in a box next to Michael Moore at this summer's Dem Convention? Only fitting that two national embarassments should sit together.
(1)With the assistance of farm subsidies he turned a profit oh his families peanut farm.
(2)He appointed Bert Lance as his Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Later Lance was embroiled in a bank scandal that included money laundering for islamaniac terrorists. What a guy!
(3)And last, during the '76 election cycle, the alphabet views outlets ended every broadcast with the most doom and gloom scenario imaginable. Brokaw interviewed Gerald Ford several months before the '76 election and actually said to President Ford 'the word around Washington was that you're not smart enough to be president'. So we got the genius carter instead.
Yes, but look at it this way:
Without the genius Carter, we may never have gotten Reagan. G-d operates in strange ways.
True. I remember that campaign and the left tried to portray President Reagan as a dunce too.
