Okay, back on message: Jimmy Carter and OBL, the connection.
The connection is this: between the two, there isn't much to choose. Both agree that if it hates GWB, it can't possibly be all bad.
And Saudi Arabia is a terrible place to raise a family.
(Fireproof suit on)
Agreed, agreed, and agreed. That does not mean, however, that Jimmy Carter is taking money from Osama bin Laden.
To call Jimmy Carter scum would be to insult scum, which after all cannot help being slimy and disgusting. But when I attack my political enemies, I prefer to do so with true allegations. Hurling bogus claims like the one hurled here does nothing but harm one's own credibility. Especially when the accusation is one which can so easily be reversed, as by pointing out the close ties the bin Ladens have with politicians other than Carter. If you claim that having connections with the bin Laden family involves being in Osama's pocket, you've just smeared a lot of your allies.
