Carter's Arab financiers

To understand what feeds former president Jimmy Carter's anti-Israeli frenzy, look at his early links to Arab business.

Between 1976-1977, the Carter family peanut business received a bailout in the form of a $4.6 million, "poorly managed" and highly irregular loan from the National Bank of Georgia (NBG). According to a July 29, 1980 Jack Anderson expose in The Washington Post, the bank's biggest borrower was Mr. Carter, and its chairman at that time was Mr. Carter's confidant, and later his director of the Office of Management and Budget, Bert Lance.

They should've hanged him along with Hussein.

And Republicans are the "culture of corruption"?

Carter gets a pass. Reid's land deals get a pass. Conyers abuse of employees (and violation of federal election law in the process) gets a pass. But if Republicans had done these same things---JAIL TIME!

Has Saudi Arabia any more strings that it can pull on Jimmuh, now that BCCI has gone away?

They should've hanged him along with Hussein.

It's hard to believe that Jimmy Carterrorist was once the President of the U.S.A.

Ping all our press contacts with this one, Mark it with an "O'rly". We should be having investigative specials on this one!

[miele man]

Carter received millions from the Saudis for his library. So did Bill Clintoon. What will we learn in the future about how he "earned" this simony?

[Herakles]

And Carter, virtually single handedly, put an end to the growing nuclear industry - very interesting!

"It's hard to believe that Jimmy Carterrorist was once the President of the U.S.A."

"We have met the enemy and he is us" - Pogo - yeah I voted for him too.

Sucked in - never again!

[Liberty Wins]

And we thought he betrayed the Shah of Iran through stupidity. So how many other dictators around the world have been stuffing money in his little ole wallet?

[jagrmeister]

Am I alone in my furiousness that an Arab individual would okay a loan to Jimmy Carter and demand interest payments as a result? The sheer audacity is mindboggling.

/sarcasm off

If Bush had done this in his business years, the democrats would go crazy.

[Beckwith]

It's my understanding that interest is forbidden under Sharia law.

[TYVets]

It's my understanding that interest is forbidden under Sharia law.

It is unless your puppet needs to dance faster.

[RobbyS]

Me, too. He was nothing he pretended to be.

[M. Espinola]

Jimmy Carter - a national disgrace.
