ATLANTA - Fourteen members of a Carter Center advisory board who worked to build support for the human rights organization started by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife have resigned in protest over Carter's latest book.

The resignations, announced Thursday, are the latest in a backlash against the former president's book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," which has drawn fire from Jewish groups, been attacked by fellow Democrats and led to the resignation last month of Kenneth Stein, a Carter Center fellow and a longtime Carter adviser.

What's a hero of the people's revolution to do? Not to worry. The best friend America's enemies ever had, still has many supporters... Chavez, Castro, Ortega, Kim Jong-il...

Is that a North Korean beer? Do they have grain to brew beer in N. Korea?

This could get very interesting. The Carter Center has raised 100's of millions of dollars over the years. I bet some of these folks know about things that they have done that might have a negative bearing on the nonprofit status of the center.

There's got to be something more to this. You can't tell me that they're just now finding out who Jimmuh Cahtah really is.

The Cahtah Centah receives taxpayer monies too. They're constantly in the hunt for federal grants and the like.

For years, I have held Jimmy Carter in even worse regard than I do for Bill Clinton.

And every time, he never fails to disappoint me with his third-party foreign policy meddling and his anti-American commentary, verbally and in writing.

I do detest that man. I would never hope for his death - but I do know that when's he gone, it won't bother me too much.
