Jimmy Carter Makes Osama's Book Club

Before you get too riled up over Jimmy Carter calling Tea Party protesters racist, consider that Osama Bin Laden just released a statement recommending everyone read Carter's anti-Semitic book, in which Carter accuses Israelis fighting the rocket-firing terrorists in Gaza of being murdering racists. Jimmy's got it all figured out, Osama said. You think they'll put his recommendation on the dust jacket?

What makes me laugh is how Brian Williams shows clips of himself laughing it up with Carter before the interview. It's a common editing tactic to lend credibility to a subject by implying to the viewer that since Williams enjoys his time with Carter, you should believe his crazy talk, which quickly followed.
