It's That Pesky "Not Without Honor, Save in His Own Country" Thing Again

By Zamboni

News item #1 — Former President Jimmy Carter is excoriated by Republicans and others in September 2009 for making the following comment in a T.V. interview: "[R]acism [in America] still exists, and I think it's bubbled up to the surface, because of a belief among many white people... that African Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply."

News item #2 — An effigy of President Obama is found hanging in Plains, Georgia on January 2, 2010.

We cats just wonder if Jimmy Carter ever tires of getting slammed for telling the truth.
