I smell Jihad Jimmy

Maybe that rabbit knew something the rest of us didn’t back in 1979.

Of course, I was a wee one, and knew nothing of ferocious rabbits until watching Watership Down sometime later. Jimmy Carter, on the other hand, was a feral rabbit savant. It is clear now the rabbit knew something about President Carter none of the rest of us did. Some animals smell fear – the swamp rabbit smelled a human skunk.

But now, In 2008, Carter has moved on from whacking rabbits with paddles to the warm embrace of universally recognized terrorists

Carter, Meshaal and lower-level officials had a closed-door meeting that lasted more than an hour and a half.

The ex-president’s visits with top Hamas officials this week have drawn condemnation from the U.S. and Israeli governments. They said Carter is engaging in diplomacy with a group they consider a terrorist organization.

This comes on the heels of Carter’s moment of silence at Yasser Arafat’s grave (you know, the guy who invented airplane hijacking as a terrorist weapon)

Israel into the sea? Jews are monkeys? I’m just trying to understand

The only rational explanation is that Jimmy Carter is mentally ill, struck with some peculiar type of Palestinian-based Stockholm Syndrome. Next thing you know he’ll be hobnobbing with domestic terrorists and running as a write-in for president in November (watch out Obama – that’s your base he’s eying!).

UPDATE For the pope – not a rabbit, it’s only a beaver.
