America’s worst former president is feeling the heat, and bristling at the criticism of his disgraceful book: Carter defends controversial book.

“I have been called a liar,” Carter said at a town hall meeting on the second day of a three-day symposium on his presidency at the University of Georgia. “I have been called an anti-Semite,” he said. “I have been called a bigot. I have been called a plagiarist. I have been called a coward.”

He’s also been called an idiotarian.

Carter said he was pleased the book has stimulated discussion of an issue that has been “omitted from the public consciousness” for at least the last six years.

The Israeli-Palestinian issue has been “omitted from the public consciousness” for six years?

Just let the enormous fatuity of that statement ripen and mellow for a few seconds.

Don’t they have television in Carter’s alternate universe?
