On the Simpson's there is a character known as the comic book guy whose catch phrase is "Worst _(fill in the blank) ever." I thought about that character upon hearing of Jimmy Carter's latest exploits overseas.

Carter has done a lot of good in the past; his work for Habitat for Humanity for example is truly a worthy effort. The temptation is to give him a pass because of his former good works when he does something bad but unfortunately what he is doing now is so wrong it comes perilously close to being evil.

His book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" blames Israel for almost all the problems of the Middle East. He gives a few verbal hand slaps to the Arabs for their most egregious murders but saves his condemnation for Israel for daring to build a fence to protect themselves from murders and for settlements on disputed territory, which he claims is all Palestinian land.

If the book were all that he had been up to there wouldn't be much to complain about. Books by ex-presidents are not exactly the stuff to stir the soul but Carter has been doing much more than just writing anti-Semitic screeds, he has been actively undermining current United States foreign policy.

He did it during the Clinton presidency and he's up to no good during Bush's term. During his North Korean adventure he fouled up the talks with North Korea and produced an agreement that the North Koreans proceeded to break in record time. What he is doing now is even more dangerous to world peace and the security of our country.

Carter is making a trip to the Middle East where he laid a wreath at the tomb of Yasser Arafat and is meeting with Hamas's top leader, Khaled Meshaal, in Syria. Shin Bet, Israel's version of the Secret Service, has refused to provide him protection while he is in Israel. I say "Good for them."

Carter has become an embarrassment and a stumbling block. Whatever good he accomplished in his past life he has thrown away and he is now seriously in the running for the title of this blog post.

Ah! For the good old days when we thought Billy was the stupid Carter!

Update:

The AP reported Monday that "Carter said that Hamas -- the Islamic militant group that has called for the destruction of Israel -- is prepared to accept the right of the Jewish state to "live as a neighbor next door in peace.""

The AP at least got it right when they said "Hamas has not abandoned its official call for Israel's destruction."

Hamas has called for Israel's destruction and Carter ignores that fact. He's a bumbling old fool who should have his passport taken from him before he starts a nuclear war.
