The “protest” was just a political play only to either appease a VERY small segment of those who support Jimmah or the actions of former presidents. I cannot imagine anyone in the Bush administrations actually upset with that statement

[DGHoodini]

ALL RIGHT! WHO FUMED IN HERE???

I WANT THIS FUMING CLEARED UP, RIGHT *NOW*!!!

:)

"The guy's a joke."

I'm not laughing. Carter is an asshole.

[babygene]

Sounds like something Rice would say...

[VR-21]

They can call him whatever the hell they want, and it’s a safe bet that it would be an understatement. Frankly I don’t think one could be called anything worse than “Democrat.”

[em2vn]

Israel should tell Carter to kiss its ass while Condi is kissing Carter’s ass. It’s a twofer.

[DGHoodini]

I Apologize to Israel on behalf of the US of A, for whoever fumed at them about that senile old Arafatty chimp Carter.

[babygene]

Too bad we all can;t email the Israel official and tell him we support what he said...

[DrGunsforHands]

We can’t?

[cowdog77]

STATE DEPARTMENT = CLUELESS

Why not?

Why? It’s the 100% Gospel truth!

He didn't include the word racist before bigot, it was just bad form.

[Mark]

Ok, I like your link better than mine.

[rrrod]

First thing Monday morning Im going to call the Israeli embassy and lodge a complaint also. There is no valid reason whatsoever to call that complete idiotic POS a bigot.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Gillerman should have called Carter a jihadist, then the heads really would have exploded over at State. : )

[elpadre]

it's just protocol as long as the former president is a Democrat. Have they taken after any of the former French and Germen leaders calling Bush name??

Diplomats live by a different code and would never make it in everyday America where a spade is a spade.

[samtheman]

Bush is trying to out-McCain McCain. Not a huge leap for Bush to make.

[babygene]

Thanks... I sent my email.

Is this why the State Department is always a liberal entity even under a conservative president?
