I suspect that all of you are aware that there are fools in this world.  Sometimes those fools rise to positions of power and prestige, sometimes by outrageous fortune, those fools come to represent all that we hold dear, trash it and then we wonder what the hell happened.

And so it was with the presidency of Jimmy Carter.  In 1976 Jimmy was elected president largely on the anger of America at Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon who trashed the office of the Presidency and resigned in disgrace just ahead of impeachment. 

Jimmy ran against the hapless Gerald Ford, a good man, an honest man but one who was portrayed as a bumbling fool.  His slip on the stairs of Air Force One didn't help, nor did the ongoing "joke" of the antics of the SNL crew in general and Chevy Chase in particular.

None the less, in retrospect America knew that it had elected the wrong man in '76 and opted to toss the bozo from Georgia out on his keister in '80 in favor of "The Great Communicator" Ronald Reagan.  Now, lest we be accused of being partisan (which of course we are) let us also acknowledge that a big reason for dumping Carter was less than that he was a fool, as much as it was for his total mismanagement of the economy and of the Iranian hostage crisis in which the Iranian "students" rubbed the face of America in the dirt for 444 days releasing them only when Reagan took office.  Since that time, the bad peanut farmer and former president has made an ass of himself traveling the world in support of thugs and murderers.

Now Jackass Jimmy is set to talk to Hamas thinking that this will settle peace between Israel and the Pali's.  See, he is still blinded by his own incompetence.  The United States has a policy of not dealing with terrorists.  Every time that policy has been violated, we have ended up with the short end of the stick and sometimes our brave men and women in uniform have paid the price.  Sometimes, when we don't take terrorists seriously we end up with things like the Marine Barracks bombing, the U.S.S. Cole disaster and 9/11.  Yet, there goes bumbling Jimmy Jackass who has yet to learn that Hamas are a bunch of murderous thugs who launch rockets against civilians, murder and pillage, and trow prisoners off of tall buildings. 

Yeah Jimmy, that's the ticket.  In this most recent proof that Jackass Jimmy is a fool, he stated:

"I feel quite at ease in doing this, I think there's no doubt in any one's mind that, if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, the Palestinians, that Hamas will have to be included in the process."

[...]

"I think that it's very important that at least someone meet with the Hamas leaders to express their views, to ascertain what flexibility they have, to try to induce them to stop all attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and to cooperate with the Fatah as a group that unites the Palestinians, maybe to get them to agree to a cease-fire — things of this kind."

So, for this month's Dimwitted Dodo Award may I present Jackass Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States (and thank God he's not any more).

1 I don't think Jimmah is stupid and incompetent--or not only stupid and incompetent.  He's malevolent, too.  He has tried to conduct his own foreign policy since he left the White House, and probably should have been jailed for treason.

I bet even his peanuts are crooked.

2 Yeah, because we all know how well Jimmy's "talks" have gone thus far.   All his "talks" with the Palestinians; his handling of Iran as well.  He still doesn't understand the absolute farce he created with his endorsement of Venezuelan elections.  And let us not forget his meddling in North Korea during the Clinton presidency and subsequent chumming with Castro.  So far, he's batting zero.  Yet still, he persists.  I'm beginning to think that he continues on this path because he genuinely enjoys the praise he receives from America's enemies.  I believe he shares their disdain of his country.

9 Now see, that comment posted.  I wonder what I'm doing wrong... I've left several comments the last coupla weeks that haven't shown up.  Including a really good one about Tom Glavine being back on the baseball post, which now I can't remember because for one it was really good and sprang fully formed from this lame little brain and secondly, I have selective memory dysfunction caused by hormones, too much coffee, not enough sleep and teenage children.  Oh wait, I was channeling Laurie Kendrick there for a minute....but without the kids!

Sarah Palin has deliberately left the question as to whether or not she will run in 2012 open. For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides women’s chef coats some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona.

The terms of the deal hide chef coats the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment." According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering aprons headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign. A anonymous source from her camp also told Ben Smith at Politico that she would base a potential presidential campaign in Scottsdale, near where Bristol Palin recently bought fleece blankets a house in Maricopa.
