When we cats saw President Carter in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, he apologized that he was appearing at our event solo. Rosalynn Carter, he said, had returned from their recent trip to China with influenza, and she was home resting in Plains.
The President also said that Mrs. Carter's flu was contagious. So, he joked, if he came down with it himself, we would know that he and Rosalynn had — well, you get the idea.
All righty, then. Seeing as how Mr. Carter ended up in a Cleveland hospital this week with a stomach ailment, we would say that, um, the cat is out of the bag.
At any rate, we're pleased that the President was sprung from MetroHealth in time for his 86th birthday today. And we hope that since they're both now immune, the former First Lady greeted him with a big, wet kiss.
