Today Show peanut-gallery ping.

[KidGlock]

The whole episode reminds me of Newt Gingrich complaining he got a bad seat on Air Force One.

IIRC, Katie was pretty upset with Clinton over this. (/sarc)

[mewzilla]

Poor Jimmy. And with all that extra spare time on his hands now, too....

Carters Resign Tops Posts at Carter Center.

Carter's upset that Michael Moore wasn't invited. Now he has nobody to sit next to..

[BufordP]

I think Carter was bumped in favor of Mehmet Ali Agca. Unfortunately, the Turkish government wouldn't release him from prison.

[Waco]

Why doesn't everyone that voted 3 times or more get to go?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Carter shouldn't be invited out of his front door.

[mrs. a]

He's a free citizen, isn't he? He can go to the funeral without the President's invitataion if he wants to, can't he?

[sgtbono2002]

If leaving Carter off the list ticked Katie off it was worth it.

[Bahbah]

Tongues-a-clucking....

I particularly liked this image.

[bill1952]

Well, it's because Carter has become a disgrace to America, openly stating that even The American Revolution was WRONG and illegal.

I wouldn't bring him to a dog show.

[L.N. Smithee]

Andrea surmised this was all pay-back for Carter's harsh criticism of the Iraq war, which he called a "quagmire," predicting the failure of the January elections.

If W was as vindictive toward Democrats as he is guys like, say, Tom Tancredo, that might hold some weight.

[SubMareener]

When Jimmy Carter had a chance to go to a Papal funeral as President, he sent his mother!

[Hold DiMayo]

Maybe Carter wasn't invited because of the ongoing investiation of his "house for humanity" excepting donations from some Aribe and then his blasting the war in Iraq.

[Non-Sequitur]

I had heard that Bush invited Carter but that he declined.

[Soliton]

I saw it too. I wouldn't mind them calling Carter "a Nobel Laureate and the only President to welcome the Pope to the Whitehouse" if they had called Clinton "the only President publicly criticized by the Pope". Both are true.

Did you notice that they didn't ask why Clinton didn't give up his seat to Carter?

[7thson]

They said that about Condi? Really? They suggested a black woman give up her seat to a white southern male? As Sean Hannity says - unbelievable! And as the Compulsive Liar answers - and yet it happened!

[Lazamataz]

Tongues-a-clucking, Katie and Andrea wondered aloud at least three times why the White House didn't simply ask the Vatican for one more invitation,

Because it makes liberals mad.

And really, that's the only worthy goal in all the world.

Pissing off liberals.

[jriemer]

Gerald Ford isn't going either. Talk about trying to make news where there isn't any.

[beyond the sea]

Andrea opined that Rice should have ceded her seat to Mr. Peanut. Carter couldn't go anyhow. He smashed his thumb with a hammer working on a window sill, and is in severe pain.
