The department has been “made aware of the trip,” spokesman Mark Toner said. “I am not aware of any plans that we have to talk with him.”

Somebody forgot to tell the evil old anti-Semite that NK isn't the problem du jour, it's the entire Middle East.

You know, the one he brought peace to by French kissing Arafat while stuffing millions of our dollars into his robe.

For the impressionable ex-president, Kim provided the full Potemkin village treatment. To say Carter was suckered is an understatement. He wrote this report:

People are busy. They work 48 hours a week. ... We found Pyongyang to be a bustling city. The only difference is that during working hours there are very few people on the street. They all have jobs or go to school. And after working hours, they pack the department stores, which Rosalynn visited. I went in one of them. It's like Wal-Mart in American stores on a Saturday afternoon.

Within a year of his visit, 2-3 million North Koreans starved to death.

Carter should feel right at home. He’s an expert on malaise and there’s plenty of it in NK.

trying to be relevant at any cost. His nutty wife wanted him to put the hammer down. He had the top slot for the worst President until zer0 stepped up to the plate.
