(2008-04-15) — As former President Jimmy Carter meets this week with Hamas leaders in the West Bank and Syria, sources at the State Department say President George Bush will soon honor Mr. Carter’s decades of freelance diplomacy by appointing him as the first U.S. Ambassador to Hell.
“Bush just wants Carter to go there,” said an unnamed State Department source, “and to set up an embassy, and try to be a good listener, open a communication channel, find common ground.”
Mr. Carter has said his discussions with prominent Hamas member Nasser al-Shaer today and with the group’s exiled leader Khaled Mashaal on Friday will seek to discover areas of flexibility on the part of the terrorist organization which exists to destroy Israel.
Mr. Bush reportedly chose Mr. Carter as U.S. Ambassador to Hell because it’s a post that will allow the aging former president “to just keep on doing what he’s been doing on the foreign relations front for many years.”

Perhaps HillBilly Inc. and B. Hussein Obama are where they are for the sole purpose of providing a yardstick by which Jimmy Carter will look good.

“Bush just wants Carter to go there…â€
No doubt.
Not only that, but if the self-proclaimed “Born Again Christian” doesn’t change his ways, he’ll make it there, too.

After Palestine, Hell might seem rather appealing.

I imagine that anti-Semitic Jimmy Carter will find quite a lot of “common ground” with the permanent residents of Hell. He’ll fit in very well there amongst “his kind.”

Jimmuh Catarrh (*spit*) continues to spend his dotage, reminding us all that he was the worst president evah. The legacy lives on.
Is the purpose of this trip to expand his mission of building a ME habitat for inhumanity? Is he donating to the Arafat AIDS society?
Whatever happened to the Logan Act?

This is the ultimate in job security. Create a mess in the ME, and then spend the rest of your life pretending to fix it. What a POS.
