Former President Jimmy Carter has called the recent Palestinian voting
"a beautiful election" and said "there's a good chance" that Hamas will
reject violence.

Those comments raised the dander of radio's No. 1 talk show host Rush
Limbaugh, who said they were "no surprise, coming from a man who has
never missed a chance at appeasement."

Rush went further, blasting Carter for his frequent criticism of the
Bush administration's handling of various problems.

"The irony is that President Bush wouldn't have to deal with these
problems if Carter hadn't created them," Rush writes in the Limbaugh
Letter.

Rush makes these points:

There would be no flap over domestic wiretapping if Carter hadn't signed
the "patently unconstitutional" 1978 law requiring the president to get
a warrant to conduct surveillance within the U.S.

"According to the Constitution, the president is commander-in-chief; no
sitting president has the authority to surrender those powers," Limbaugh
stated. "But Jimmy Carter did."

Until the Carter administration, the CIA had been paying off the mullahs
in Iran who opposed the shah, an American ally. Carter ordered these
payments stopped.

"You remember the rest: The storming of the embassy, the botched rescue
attempt, and murder on a scale that made the shah look like Mr. Rogers,"
Rush reports.

Limbaugh quotes Charles Scott, an Army attaché at the American embassy
in Iran, who said: "Iran walked away with no cost in blood or treasure.
It was a green light to terrorists worldwide - a sign that the U.S. will
let you off scot-free. That's the reason for the birth of organizations
like al-Qaida."

Carter's perceived weakness emboldened the Soviet Union to invade
Afghanistan - "the end result of which was the Taliban," Rush noted.

"Another consequence of the shah's fall was the Iran-Iraq war. Thanks to
that, Saddam invaded Kuwait. Which brought us Desert Storm, which was a
catalyst for Osama bin Laden."

What's more, Iran - "now being led by one of the thugs who held our
people hostage - is about to go nuclear."

Rush concludes: "In short, Jimmy Carter was a disaster, and after one
term the American people chucked him back to the peanut farm."

FISA judges say Bush within law -
http://washingtontimes.com/national/20060329-120346-1901r.htm and to
quote from Judge Kornblum: I think--as a Magistrate Judge, not a
District Judge, that a President would be remiss in exercising his
Constitutional authority to say that, "I surrender all of my power to a
statute," and, frankly, I doubt that Congress, in a statute, can take
away the President's authority, not his inherent authority, but his
necessary and proper authority." -
