Jimmy Carter: Losing It
What is Jimmy Carter doing?
Apparently, he opposes changes to the UN Human Rights Commission that the Bush Administration supports. And so, he told the Council on Foreign Relations:
"My hope is that when the vote is taken, the other members will outvote the United States."
How typical.
Could someone please clarify to Carter -- and to the rest of the world -- that he no longer has any standing to conduct official business on behalf of the United States, and that his views these days count for no more than yours and mine . . . that he, like us, is an ordinary American citizen.

Ohmigawd, Jimmy Carter had the temerity to call Secretary of State Rice ON THE PHONE and talk to her. How dare an ordinary citizen fail to avert his gaze in respect for an august member of the Bush administration.
How dare he. If it weren't for Carol, the peasantry would forget their place entirely.
Whoever does explain it to Carter, he/she coul also explain that failure to take your own side in a disagreement isn't sophistication; it's stupidity.
Secretary Rice is diplomatic enough to treat Mr. Carter with civility yet quietly inform other nations, in case they don't understand how our government works, that official policy comes from Washington, D.C., not Georgia.
Didn't Carter also express concern that the official U.S. stance didn't line up with what he had already PROMISED other member countries?
I may be wrong about that. But if not, what the heck is he doing making promises regarding U.S. policy to anybody?
Has he forgotten that, not only is he no longer the president, but he is FOUR presidents removed from the presidency!
What a blithering idiot!
