Jimmy Carter Parties With Matt and Meredith Over Gore's Nobel Glory
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 10/12/2007 9:56:29 AM PDT by RatherBiased.com

To celebrate Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize a jovial Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira called up Jimmy Carter on this morning's "Today" show. During the interview with the former President, the "Today" co-hosts even prodded Carter to push for a Gore in '08 candidacy:

Matt Lauer: "Let me just go over what you said a second ago, and you also said in The Denver Post this morning. You said, 'I have confidence in and I know him well. He,' quote, 'is the best qualified person in America to be president.' And you said you would endorse him. Do you plan on giving him a call? And, and if you think he is the best qualified person in America what does that say about the other Democratic candidates who are running?"

Jimmy Carter: "Well they are all well-qualified, certainly more than their, their opponents across the aisle. But I've called Al Gore and urged him to run for president so many times, he finally told me the last time, 'President Carter please do not call me-'"

[Vieira and Lauer break into laughter]

Vieira: "But, but, apparently I, I wonder if you're gonna listen to him, though, Mr. President."

Vieira: “But, but, apparently I, I wonder if you’re gonna listen to him, though, Mr. President.”
Mr. President? Mr. Former (Way, Way Former) President.

You are not suggesting that Vieira think that deep do you? She’s a leftist. She’ll call any liberal quack x-president, Mr. President as long as she doen’t have to call George Bush Mr. President. Leftists are such children.

The Nobel Peace Prize has become a laughingstock and although the snobs who award the thing still take themselves seriously the rest of the world simply looks away in embarrassment. Most people today realize that the silly, vain little mice who award the prize are only using the once-reputable award as a way to make their own selfish politicial statements.

He,' quote, 'is the best qualified person in America to be president.'

In the long and storied tradition of stupid things Jimmy Carter has said - that may be the stupidest.

When your best isn’t good enough and you don’t recognize it and you can still grin about it - you’ve passed incompentence and entered into mental deficiency.

Wow, Mr. Peanut thinks Alboron would be a better president than The Hildabeaste?

Hmmm... he musta taken his "sorta smart" pill this morning.
