Jimmy Carter. David Frum lists a couple of sleazy things about Jimmy Carter. I ought to link to a cite that collects items about the old pharisee, but this will do for now. (Click here to read more.)

In his book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Carter plagiarized maps drawn by former Middle East envoy Dennis Ross for Ross's own books, and then presented the work as Carter's own.

While the IPCC has tried to spread awareness of genuine risks, Gore brings to his work all the objectivity and balance of a Hollywood screenwriter.

Worse, Carter systematically misrepresented conversations with Syrian president Hafez Assad, to create a false impression that Assad was more conciliatory than he really was. The note-taker at Carter's meetings with Assad, Kenneth Stein, resigned in protest from his post at the Carter Center after the publication of Peace Not Apartheid.
