Jimmy Carter: Idiot from Plains

Bob Novak has finally “jumped the shark”.

I think Robert Novak is suffering from temporary insanity this week as he promotes the new film about Jimmy Carter called Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains. Novak makes the ridiculous assertion that Carter’s views on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are the correct ones.

Anyone supporting any foreign policy position of Jimmy Carter has simply lost their mind!

“Jumping the shark” is a fairly modern phrase meaning that something has went beyond its peak.  It traces its roots to an episode of Happy Days (late in its life with ratings plummeting) in which Fonzi jumps over a (penciled in) shark while water skiing.It was such an absurd gimmick that it became recognized as the signal that Happy Days was finally done.  I don’t know what Bob Novak would look like in swimming trunks and a leather jacket but the parallel in absurdity is clear.

The whole premise of land for peace with a bunch of 7^th century savages who are hell-bent to kill everyone that does not embrace their lunatic cult is laughable.  The idea that a formerly respected journalist and pundit like Bob Novak would promote any plan by Jimmy Carter regarding the Middle-East is just as laughable.
