Jimmy Carter has requested permission to attend Arafat's funeral, per Andrea Mitchell. Carter is said to be eager to go. No word yet from the White House.

Low level State Dept. delegation will attend.

[Seaplaner]

Jimmy Carter? Nah, as I suggested on another thread, let's send someone with the stature and seriousness that this event requires...Soupy Sales!

[txhurl]

Hm, an Anti-Semite Nuclear Physicist, and a Libran to boot.

Whom Iran most handily manipulated.

How does he mix with France?

[Tax Government]

Just say no.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Holy crap!

[Malleus Dei]

Jesus Christ, Jimmy, haven't you embarassed the United States enough already?

[TigersEye]

If Arabfart doesn't die by Friday Jimmah's all prepped to stand in for him. Been braindead for years.

[bullzeye66]

Send him one way... at least Cheney won't have to go. ;)

[HardStarboard]

The Israeli's always said Arafat could leave Ramalla. They were clear he wouldn't be allowed back.

I believe that Bush, with his recent mandate, should state that Carter is free to leave the US, and be very clear that he will not be allowed back.

[Buzwardo]

Send 'em all: Carter, Jackson, Moore, Clinton (x2), et al, ad nauseum. Might get a week's peace around here after that.

[txhurl]

Chirac confirms Arafat's death, calls him man of courage

What a sick world we live in.

[Rocky]

Send him. Leave him.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

The dude sure had a thing about kissing, as in every scene he's blowing kisses, kissing hands, kissing kids, etc. Can you imagine that ugly, grizzled mug puckered up and coming at you? Sheesh, nightmare city for sure!

Are they showing the clip where all those sycophants are holding onto him and Yassir leans forward to try to kiss the one hand, only the guy jerks his hand away (probably in fear of the rumored AIDS Yassir had)?

[Howlin]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let him go as a private citizen but NOT leading our delegation. Not after the things he said about Bush. If Bush lets him go -- even because it might be the "right" thing to do -- I'm gonna be FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

[Howlin]

I'm with you!

[Valin]

Jimmy Carter has requested permission to attend Arafat's funeral,

Only if he doesn't come back.

[Howlin]

He wants to lead the delegation, whatever it might be.

[Enchante]

People like Chirac are truly depraved. Unfortunately, he speaks for much of Europe and nearly all of the Arab world in professing to admire this terrorist.

As for me, I'm going off to drink a toast to the demise of one of the founders of modern terrorism. If only Arafart could be given a proper burial in France, covered in pig intestines and pork lard, instead of being honored with a state funeral in Cairo.... why on earth is Israel going to allow the remains to be brought back to Ramallah???? That's CRAZY, and one of these days we can be sure that the Palis will sneak the casket to the Temple Mount and disgrace that holy site with the remains of a Satanic pig.

[longtermmemmory]

Carter is such an anti-american ex-president it is not even conceivable that he would grasp the concept of what is really going on.

Carter is only trying to save his own legacy. (malase, the misery index, his foreign policy incompetence, his absurd efforts to sell out the defence of the USA to the USSR, going to the USSR for help to elect mondale in 1984)

Carter needs to sit down and shut up.

[7mmMag@LeftCoast]

you have my deepest sympathies. I just cannot believe the American people ever elected him to anything. But my guess is that Gore would have been even worse than Carter. The algore would have made Clinton look to be right of Newt Gingrich.

If this is the kind of people the 'elite' support, then our Universities must be real $h*t holes of propaganda and socialist (marxist) thought.

I'd go so far to state that if Carter had beaten Reagan then the Soviet Union would be gloating about our demise instead of vice versa.

[EternalHope]

Jimmy Carter is a disgrace to his nation.

Worse, he is a disgrace to Christianity.
