Carter's Little Liver Pills
If you ever wonder how addle-brained Jimmy Carter has become, look no further. Here's a line from a Feb. 10 story carried in the major dailies. The story was headlined: "Carter doesn't feel slighted by lack of tsunami-aid role."
"Although the death toll of tsunami, which struck Asia and eastern Africa on Dec. 26, has reached 170,000, that pales in comparison to the 170,000 people who die every month from malaria, he said."
Now I read that and thought to myself, "170,000 every month! Why haven't I heard about that?"
Well, the reason is that as usual Carter doesn't know what he's talking about. The World Health Organization say 100,000 people die each year, not 170,000 each month. I'm not trivializing malaria deaths, but Carter's handlers need to get him back on his meds... ¶ 11:50 AM
