Take That, Hippie---Four More Years!

If Drudge is right, THIS is why I voted for Dubya:

President Bush selected his father and Bill Clinton over Jimmy Carter for the official delegation attending the funeral of Pope John Paul II, the Carter Center claimed Late Tuesday.

"President Carter expressed to the White House a desire to attend the Pope's funeral," an official said.

Carter "was informed that the official delegation would be limited to just five people, and there were also others who were eager to attend."

"The Carters always relish the memories of Pope John Paul II being a delightful personal guest at the White House in 1979, on a pope's only visit to our nation's capital city. Subsequently, they visited with His Holiness in the Vatican."

One senior GOP official said that Carter wanted to take his wife Rosalynn along, but was informed that would be impossible. It was unclear if Clinton asked to take along his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

It's about time the disgraceful Jimmy Carter and the Lady Macbeth of Plains, Georgia got left off the invite list of a State function.

If there's a modern ruler aside from Pol Pot more opposite Pope John Paul II in temperament or deed, it is Jimmy Carter, coddler of murderers, justifier of dictators, implacable foe of liberty wherever it pokes its head out from the darkness of totalitarianism.

Orwell wrote that the future of humanity is a boot stomping on a human face forever---Jimmy Carter wanted his foot in that boot.

Good riddance.
