Carter takes swipe at Bush at Nobel ceremony

December 10 2002 at 03:38PM

Oslo - Former United States president Jimmy Carter on Tuesday received the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to him in recognition of decades of work as international peace mediator.

Nobel Committee chairperson Gunnar Berge handed him the prize at a formal ceremony in Oslo's city hall, with Carter's family and Norway's King Harald and Queen Sonja looking on.

Carter, 78, in an acceptance speech prepared for delivery at the ceremony, took a swipe at US policy towards Iraq, warning that a so-called preventative war could have "catastrophic" consequences, but stopped short of actually naming the United States or Iraq.

At a separate ceremony in Stockholm later in the day, the winners of the Literature, Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economics prizes will receive their awards from King Carl XVI Gustaf in Stockholm's Concert Hall. - Sapa-AFP

What a complete LOSER. I had always thought Carter was a good man (albeit horrible president), but lately he's proven himself to be as classless and petty as Al Gore and Bill "Rapist" Clinton.

A study of Jimmah's behavior since the day Reagan stomped his butt reveals a partisan knob who will stoop to Clintonesque levels. Having failed as a president, Carter still desired a legacy. It took him 30 years, almost two generations of forgetfulness and a group of anti-American Nobel Eurotrash to convince a portion of the world's population that he isn't a complete baffoon -- then the North Koreans admitted to making Carter look like the dupe he is. Fortunately for the Nobel Committee, their anti-Americanism allows for a vast level of denial

Except for that traitor Clinton.

Tht certainly never stopped Carter in the past. I read another piece earlier today that recounted an incident when Carter, his wife, Arafat and others had a merry old time making jokes about Ronald Reagan.

Above all else, James Earl Carter is a hypocrite...and his coddling of tyrants, including Islamic tyrants, has done more to harm peace in this world in the last 25 years than anything else I can think of. The blood of many thousands is on his hands.

Is that piece of sculpture called, "Jimmah Carter, on his presidential library."?

It could be, if you would just get to work on it! (I want some 'doctoring talent' in my stocking.....)

Mr. K. Iller Rabbit on line 3 for you... He wants to know when you're gonna build him a hutch for free.

Ya mean this one?---

I think it's about time for Bush 41 to step up and put Carter, Clinton and Gore in their place. I'm sick of hearing from the Democrats. You didn't see Bush 41 constantly undermining Clinton as the others keep doing to Bush 43. He has too much class to do this. I bet he's about to explode and has to bite his tongue to keep from having his say. Remember when he "almost" told us what he thought of Clinton as a man and a human being? :-) I wished he would have spilled his guts but he's such a classy guy he held back.
