Last Sweep Before I Collapse In Bed

Given Jimmy Carter's decades of relentlessly anti-American and anti-Israeli/pro-Arab and pro-Islamist agitating, can anybody really be surprised that he's on the virulently anti-Semitic Wahhabists' payroll?

Recent disclosures of Carter's extensive financial connections to Arab oil money, particularly from Saudi Arabia, had deeply shaken my belief in his integrity. When I was first told that he received a monetary reward in the name of Shiekh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan, and kept the money, even after Harvard returned money from the same source because of its anti-Semitic history, I simply did not believe it. How could a man of such apparent integrity enrich himself with dirty money from so dirty a source? And let there be no mistake about how dirty the Zayed Foundation is. I know because I was involved, in a small way, in helping to persuade Harvard University to return more than $2 million that the financially strapped Divinity School received from this source. Initially, I was reluctant to put pressure on Harvard to turn back money for the Divinity School, but then a student at the Divinity School, Rachael Lea Fish showed me the facts.

They were staggering. I was amazed that in the twenty-first century there were still foundations that espoused these views. The Zayed Centre for Coordination and Follow-up, a think-tank funded by the Shiekh and run by his son, hosted speakers who called Jews "the enemies of all nations," attributed the assassination of John Kennedy to Israel and the Mossad and the 9/11 attacks to the United States' own military, and stated that the Holocaust was a "fable." (They also hosted a speech by Jimmy Carter.) To its credit, Harvard turned the money back. To his discredit, Carter did not.Jimmy Carter was, of course, aware of Harvard's decision, since it was highly publicized. Yet he kept the money. Indeed, this is what he said in accepting the funds: "This award has special significance for me because it is named for my personal friend, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan." Carter's personal friend, it turns out, was an unredeemable anti-Semite and all-around bigot. ...

How could "a man of such apparent integrity enrich himself with dirty money" from "an irredeemable anti-Semite and all-around bigot"? How about because Jimmy Carter has no integrity and is in complete agreement with his "friend's" neo-Nazi views?

Surely Professor Dershowitz is familiar with Occam's Razor. Or the old adage, "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...."

More redundant evidence that Iran is already at war with us in Iraq. What is the Bush Administration waiting for? Does ANYBODY give a damn about this brutal, inescapable reality? Or is Dubya more afraid of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid than he is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

First Israeli Prime Minister Ehud "Oh, My God, How Is This Spineless Putz Still In Power?" Olmert tells the German magazine Focus in an exclusive interview that, "Iran's nuclear program can be thrown back by years in a ten day attack using thousands of Tomahawk cruise missiles." Then, within hours of that interview hitting the 'Net, Olmert's spokesman issued a blanket denial that he ever said it.

Meanwhile, Adolph Hitler is in hell, raging against the fates that he was born seventy years too early, and that that grinning, Geico caveman-esque Fuehrer wannabe in Tehran is getting all the breaks history denied him.

By all reports, former CIA Director George Tenet's book is shot through with self-serving "errors" and "misstatements", and reveals him to be a cringing, boot-licking sycophant.

Kinda telegraphs what kind of testimony he'll be offering to the {*AHEM*} Democrat-controlled Congress on pre-invasion Iraq intelligence. Which Watergate stoolie will he try to reprise - John Dean or Alex Butterfield?

Decisions, decisions.

Barack Obama's a crook and a poor ass-coverer in addition to a Carteroid. Jihadis don't stand a chance against Western soldiers when the latter stop letting the former run away to fight again another day. And Fred Thompson is emerging as, if not the second coming of the Gipper, than at least a worthy understudy.

Hey, at least the latter is not stating the obvious. Which probably makes it a good idea to start taking bets on how soon the "Why does Fred Thompson take long vacations near sheep ranches?" stories will start splattering across the Enemy Media headlines.
