That imperious old man should just STFU.
Excellent crawl capture ... why, it looks almost like a caption!
Mika Papa Mika Papa Mika Papa ....
What IS it with all the Zombies these days? Hasn’t he been dead since 1992? Break out the holy water and garlic!
And HE did so well under Carter.............
Ironically, that is what Joe Scarborough will look like in 40 years. And Conan O’Brian.
That guy looks exactly like Bill Maher is going to look in another 5 years or so.

The Camp David II Summit ends when Arafat abandons the talks even though offered significant concessions by Ehud Barak.

Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser
Le Nouvel Observateur, Paris, 15-21 January 1998 Posted at globalresearch.ca 15 October 2001
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?
B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.
B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.
The post-Camp David picture of Barak having moved mountains and Arafat not budging an inch led to strong support for Arafat within the Arab world and an unusual degree of support for Israel internationally. Even at the millennium summit of the United Nations, a classic pro-Palestinian venue, Barak was the man of the hour and Arafat was under significant pressure not to destroy the chance for peace.
In response, Arafat decided to initiate a new round of violence. The U.S. might have been expected to respond with harsh criticism of the Palestinians, given that Arafat’s rejection of peace at Camp David had now been compounded by the launching of a shooting war. In fact, the U.S. moved in the opposite direction — toward strict “evenhandedness.”

Hey Zbig, from one Polish-American to another, STFU!
Joe sliced him up pretty good too and he didn’t even get it. Mika, if it’s possible, seemed embarrassed.
Joe’s revenge is the verbal bitch-slapping Zbig-boy’s daughter gets every day on the Scarborough show.
He was the only brightspot of the Carter administration simply because his own personal vendetta vis a vis the Russians accidentally happened to merge with Americas best interest.
I don’t know where to start...
When I saw that picture, an image of beavis and butthead appeared in my mind.
