Evidence of Fraud

Early this morning, at about 0'Dark Thirty I was scanning some of my favorite blogs, including, as always, Dennis The Peasant. I found Dennis via Roger L. Simon's blog and linked to his site in my Newly Discovered Blogs section here.

But, I digress; what caught my eye in Dennis' entry was a brief mention of Jimmy Carter being attacked by (Drum Roll Please Maestro) a KILLER RABBIT

This, of course, triggered my sense of whimsy, a genetic defect, not of my own making, and certainly not my fault (I only said this because some liberals may be getting ready to blame me for the following). Again, I digress. At any rate, I remember the situation quite well, thinking at the time that President Carter knew he was in trouble politically, needed the help of the left wing of America for the upcoming election and was desperate to prove he was one of them. My evidence? Well, let us take a look at the image, preserved for posterity by none other than the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. The library of course had no intention of "preserving evidence" of course.

My belief, again, is that Carter knew he was in trouble. Therefore a conspiracy was hatched to convince America that he (Carter) was (A)an environmentalist, (B) the founder and first member of PETAL (People for the Ethical Treatment of American Lefties) and maybe even PETA (Please, Eat The Animals). You have seen the Photo above, now let's look a little more closely.

Here, you can see for yourself that the rabbit is swimming in a direction NOT "directly for the president" as was initially claimed, and despite some of the comments by insidious fascistic, slavering, knuckle dragging Neanderthal, right-wingers and he did NOT swing his paddle at the rabbit. In fact, if you look closely, you can see from the wake of the rabbit that it wasn't swimming towards the President at all.

In point of fact, the claim by the carter camp was that the President was merely using his paddle to "splash water" at the rabbit to chase it away. But, as you can tell from the immediately above photo, the rabbit is so far away, swimming away from the President that "chase it away" doesn't even enter the "picture" (no pun intended - did too, ed.) Secondly, from this section of the photograph,

you can plainly see that his bobber is still attached to his pole (usually by hooking the fishing hook to one of the rings at the base of the pole - inserted for the elucidation of any non fisher types reading this blog). Now, I don't know about you, but if he was "paddling out" to fish, his pole would be lying at the bottom of his boat while he paddled and his net wouldn't be dragging in the water. If, on the other hand, (OTOH in bloggerese) he was actually fishing, his bobber wouldn't be still hooked on to his pole.

So, what does that leave us with? (1) This was a set up, to fool the American voter. (2) it was the most inept set up ever, except for perhaps the "18 minute" gap of the Watergate tapes, and (3) After the initial brouhaha, the "press" kind of clammed up about it, and it may have long remained a mystery until now. Now however it can now be revealed, "CASE CLOSED."
