Jimmy Carter Is Embarrasing His Own People
Friday, January 12, 2007 at 11:14PM The fallout from former President Jimmy Carter's book, "Peace, Not Apartheid" continues:
Fourteen of the city's business and civic leaders resigned from the Carter Center's advisory board on Thursday to protest former President Jimmy Carter's recent criticisms of Israel and American Jewish political power.
The resignations are the latest in a recent string of defections from Carter and the ideas he espouses in his book, which has been on The New York Times' best-seller list for the last five weeks.
In December, Kenneth W. Stein, a professor at Emory University who had been the first executive director at the Carter Center, resigned as a fellow there. Days later, Dennis Ross, a former envoy to the Middle East who is now a news analyst, accused Carter of unauthorized use of maps that Ross created and of mislabeling them in the book.
Carter was one of our worst modern presidents and is rapidly becoming, if not already there, one of America's most disgraceful ex-presidents.
