Does this mean somebody actually read Jimmy Carter's book?

Five years ago former President Jimmy Carter wrote a book. Apparently someone finally read it, and to almost no one's surprise found that it contained "numerous false and knowingly misleading statements intended to promote the author's agenda of anti-Israel propaganda and to deceive the reading public instead of presenting accurate information as advertised."

Of course Palestine Peace Not Apartheid is a work of fiction. Unfortunately it was marketed as historically factual and this has resulted in a lawsuit against Carter and his publisher.

In a press release issued by one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner stated: "The lawsuit will expose all the falsehoods and misrepresentations in Carter's book and prove that his hatred of Israel has led him to commit this fraud on the public. He is entitled to his opinions but deceptions and lies have no place in works of history."

Anything which serves to ridicule our Worst Ex-President Evah! is OK by me. And Carol of the Mad Photoshop™ Skillz has created another masterpiece.

Yet, why call attention to a load of tripe which has long since been relegated to the bottom of the remainder tables? Carter's opinions are indeed odious. But, his scribblings are not likely to be misinterpreted as scholarship, are they? He is at best a formerly Useful Idiot, and Arab propagandists have already wringed about as much out of him as they can.

History will not judge Jimmy Carter kindly. That is if anyone bothers to consider him at all. Indeed, this brand of lawsuit is just the kind of censorship his Muslim acolytes love to utilize. There is no need to try Jimmy Carter's ideas in a court of law. The court of public opinion has already found him lacking in any redeeming qualities.

The verdict?

Irrelevance.
