What wanted to make me throw up was Larry King's second-handed comment praising Carter, which he regurgitated approvingly: "Someone once said about you, President Carter, you're the only man in history to use the American presidency as a steppingstone to greatness." As if an award that recognizes the "achievements" of a terrorist and cold-blooded killer like Arafat is greater than an office held by men like Jefferson, Adams, and Washington. Where is my bucket?
On the bright side, I can imagine what Bill Clinton is saying to himself: "That should be me, and not that grinning buffoon. Arafat should have accepted those terms when I handed Israel to him on a silver platter. It should be me up there. That prize is mine."
