Well, former president Jimmy Carter is shoving his nose into international affairs yet again. He's meeting with Hamas. Hamas, you may recall, is both the duly elected government of the Palestinian Authority and an officially declared terrorist organization.
Carter (who will be a "superdelegate" at this summer's Democratic National Convention by virtue of winning a single election 32 years ago) says he's doing it in the interests of "peace."
Oddly enough, hardly no one else (well, no one else who's sane, and quite a few I thought were nuts) thinks this is a good idea.
Carter wanted former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and former South African president Nelson Mandela, but apparently the idea of three has-beens trying to recapture their glory days reminded too many people of so many rock band reunions that go horribly wrong, and the other two passed.
Carter's trip was opposed by the Bush administration, the State Department (who, most of the time, has its own agenda and tends to forget who the president is and what his authority entails, but lists Hamas as a terrorist organization), most every leading Democrat, the Israeli government, and pretty much everyone else who offered an opinion. So, naturally, Jimmuh (as those of us who remember the old peanut farmer from his two presidential runs remember him) went anyway.
So, what should be done about Mr. Carter's little adventure?
1) Prosecute him for meeting with a known terrorist organization.
B) Prosecute him for violating the Logan Act and attempting to negotiate with a foreign government without the consent of the United States government.
III) Yank his passport and tell him he's not welcome back here in the US.
d) Give him another Nobel Prize and nominate him for president as a "compromise" between Clinton and Obama.
iiiii) Pack him off to the Old Moonbats Home.

Can we give him A-C? But, you know it will in the end be D. There are enough moonbats out there that he may just end up with a Nobel Peace Prize. After all - Nobel Prizes are a joke too.

Well Jay, the Democrats have "needs" this year, and I think you've offered them a solution. Hil' and O' are in a steel cage death match. The Democrat party is locked in there with them as an observer, and has been taking the worst of the beating. Algore keeps proclaiming he's not running, it's time to believe him. Rosalynn Carter is said to have been "quite upset" that Jimmuh was denied his second term. And all of a sudden Jimmuh is out there, acting presidential, getting world press. Why, it's a miracle! Salvation is at hand for the Democrats. Give the man the nomination and put him back in the national spotlight (where he will finally be recognized for the senile old fool his has become and we'll finally be done with him).

Hmmm. When conservatives are bitter, they cling to guns and church. When liberals are bitter, they meet with despots and tyrants, hoping that doing the same thing over and over again will bring different results this time!

Well, Israel isn't too thrilled with Carter's plans so they denied his access to the Gaza Strip. I doubt if they'll provide protection, as well, if he goes over there. d) is a fun choice.

The perfect solution to the Jimmy (the peanut head) Carter mess is to line him against the wall and inflict a 1000 paper cuts all over his body. Pay special attention on the tender parts, if you catch my drift

Prosecute him under the Logan Act, take away his passport in perpetuity, lock him up in an Old Moonbats home AND put super-glue in his lip balm frequently.

I say ignore him and let him destroy what's left of his legacy. He's a senile old coot who doesn't realize that it's 2008. He thinks he's still a player. But the best thing to do is for the media to not cover any of his antics.
And I love the Israeli approach of not providing any additional security. Truly the best thing that could happen for the world is for him to be taken out by a Hamas rocket.

I was hoping Hamas was in need of a hostage. Keep him, it would take years to raise $10 ($9.99 more than he's worth) to pay for his release.
