You’re welcome, Jimmy.

Likely bloggers today will be writing about Bush’s State of the Union speech, Alito’s appointment, perhaps even Teddy Kennedy’s blood pressure.

I wanted to do something different.

Initially I was moved to create a Moonbat of the Week post. Then I thought: no. Just portray the facts — facts you won’t read in the DEM, the Defeatist, Elitist Media.

And no Moonbat Award? I declined that as well; Jimmy’s simply too easy, combined with, well, on one hand he’s so Yesterday’s News. Yet, he does provide for good, clean entertainment.

To wit, from the Jim Kouri article, printed in The Sierra Times:

When asked by the media for his thoughts on the Hamas triumph in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, former President Jimmy Carter replied that while they have a terrorist past, at least they’re not corrupt.

Huh. Hamas not corrupt. I guess Jimmy doesn’t read my blog when I posted yesterday about the corruption rife within Fatah and Yassar Arafat’s regime.

Mr. Kouri continues:

Arafat himself squirreled away millions of dollars from aid packages that were intended to help the Palestinian people. However, Carter’s comment appears to dismiss the years of death and destruction perpetrated by Hamas on the Jewish State.

And Mr. Kouri concludes:

But, as Jimmy Carter said, at least Hamas isn’t corrupt. There’s some bad news and some good news for the people of Israel: the bad news is Hamas attained legitimate power within the Palestinian State; the good news is that Jimmy Carter is leaving the Middle East.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Draw your own conclusions.
