America, you should feel very proud that you have such a citizen

I watched and listened in awe as Jimmy Carter was being interviewed on the News Hour. He spoke so eloquently on the situation in the Middle East. He said what a lot of politicians and diplomats have been too afraid to say for far too long. What a crying shame that he is considered too old to run for president again.

1. James Carter is one of the greatest of all American statesman....

He was the first president I voted for. Everytime he speaks he makes me proud.

2. Jimmy Carter is very underrated

He's reaching cult status in the U.S. right about now, though you'd never know it from our sheeply corporate media.

Now, about this John Howard fellow...

How's that going? :)

3. John Howard is a lying sniveling ass

He's an evil, smug little nerd. For the last 6 years he has resided up Bush's backside. He keeps saying that Australia is not going to exit Iraq until the job is done. (note how the term "cut and run" is not used anymore). Even though we only have a few hundred troops there, I somehow get the feeling that one night when nobody's looking, the coalition of the killing will sneak out and forget to advise Howard. What a piece of shit he is.

4. But, how do you really feel?

5. I agree...

Jimmy Carter is a great man.

And don't get me on the subject of Tony Blair...

6. Say this in a gangster voice:

"Tony, Tony. You betrayed the family."

It's strange to think I once had great respect for The Poodle. I remember, right after 9-11, wishing he was our leader because he at least made reassuring, coherent comments after the attacks, unlike our sniveling, drug-addled, "The Pet Goat"-reading frat boy who was flying all over the Midwest U.S. like a scared little bunny.
