What's Wrong with These People?

Will it ever cease to amaze? The peanut farmer may be soft spoken but what comes out of his mouth speaks loud and clear! Jimmy Carter used the funeral of Coretta Scott King to bash Bush:

"It was difficult for them [the King family] then personally with the civilliberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps."

Carter also brought up the government response to Katrina saying,

"We only have to recall the color of the faces of those in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi" to know that inequality exists.

(Excuse me? literally 50% of Katrina victims were black, the other half were...white)

Lowrey did the same:

"We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. But Coretta knew and we knew that there were weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance, poverty abound, for war billions more, but no more for the poor."

The AP headlined with "Bush Praises King for Changing the Country" recounting the President's leading remarks of praise for Mrs. King:

"We knew Mrs. King in all the seasons, and there was grace and beauty in every season. As a great movement of history took shape, her dignity was a daily rebuke to the pettiness and cruelty of segregation."

As well as observations of the President and his father when liberals used the occasion for political purposes, and the crowd's responses to the Clintons:

And both Bush and his father winced as they sat behind the pulpit and heard the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King Jr., take several jabs at foreign and domestic policies. Bush's father tried to defuse any political tension by joking that Lowery used to challenge him when he was president, too. "I kept score in the Oval Office desk — Lowery 21, Bush 3," former President George H.W. Bush said. "It wasn't a fair fight."

The audience showed where its allegiance lay when former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, came to the podium to wild cheers and a long standing ovation. He opened by saying that he was honored to be with the other former presidents. Someone in the crowd yelled out, "Future president!" in reference to his wife's possible 2008 bid.

The last paragraph aside, I don't care what anyone says, the contrast of character is obvious. Selah.
