Mel Gibson or Jimmy Carter?
Mel: An entertainer with obvious psychological issues who was universally reviled, despite his profuse apologies for anti-semitic comments uttered while drunk. Certainly, he's an influential figure, due to his recent Hollywood blockbusters. But, once the tape of his tirade during a drunk driving arrest hit the airwaves, he immediately went to the media and renounced his remarks, rightly expressing embarassment and shame. I've also read reports of private meetings he has held with Jewish leaders to apologize. It's possible that he's insincere--I really don't know (or care, for that matter). But, I find the outrage surrounding Gibson a little puzzling in light of the relative quiet in the media surrounding the recent tome penned by a certain former peanut farmer.
Jimmy: A former U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize winner who recently wrote a book suggesting that it's ok to kill Israeli Jews until they are willing to give in to Palestinian territorial demands, among other (outrageous) things. Not only is he not sorry for it, he's all over the media (which he intimates is controlled by the Jews) promoting his book/ideas. Members of the advisory board of his own human rights organization have resigned over the book and, to their credit, even some on the left are calling him to the carpet. I haven't read the book, but have read excerpts that are factually incorrect and/or outrageous in any context, especially coming from such a signficiant American political/social figure.
[Former official in theU.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigation, Neil] Sher has decided to go public with the hope that a public made aware of Carter’s support and defense of a Nazi SS man will help illustrate why the arbiter of the Camp David Accords came out with a book defending the Palestinians after the landslide election of the Islamist Hamas terror group.
Who do you think is more dangerous?

And a very good opinion at that, Dara! Yeah, like I said, I think Mel has some serious issues. I don't know what's up with that guy. But, Carter is just inexplicable.
Anyways, it's good to hear from you. I was very excited to hear that Myke got his work authoriation. Everything seems to be starting to come together now, and that's a GREAT thing.
