More Nerve Than Dick Tracy

So, like a bolt out of the blue, Jimmy Carter phones Condoleezza Rice and demands she keep his promises for him. Thus the title of this piece.

President Carter personally called Secretary of State Rice to try to convince her to reverse her U.N. ambassador's position on changes to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the former president recalled yesterday in a talk in which he also criticized President Bush's Christian bona fides and misstated past American policies on Israel.

That's right. First, Jimmah promised Cuba, Egypt, and Pakistan that "the United States was not going to dominate all the other nations of the world in the Human Rights Council." Don't know where he got it that he is in a position to make promises for 260 million people who rejected him as their leader going back oh a golden anniversary now, but by golly there he is.

However, on the next day, Mr. Carter said, [U.S. Ambassador to The U.N.) Mr. Bolton publicly "demanded" that the five permanent members of the Security Council will have permanent seats on the new council as well, "which subverted exactly what I have promised them," Mr. Carter said.

Except Mr. Carter has no right to promise anyone anything beyond that he and his friends will build you a house.

At some point Carter also breathlessly atoned, "We worship the prince of peace, not of pre-emptive war." I guess "highschool-yearbook" is Jimmah's thang right now.

I hope he gets it after this that he's, well, irrelevant except as a model leftwing fuckup.
