[Iran Press TV] Former President Jimmy Carter,
... the worst president ever...
who had been transported to a hospital after an emergency landing during his book tour, is in good health, an official says.

Carter, who had become ill during the flight, was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center Tuesday morning immediately upon his flight's landing at Cleveland Hopkins Airport due to an undisclosed medical problem, The Los Angeles Times quoted an airport spokesperson, Jackie Mayo, as saying.

Fox 8 News quoted the Carter Center Press Secretary Deanna Congileo as saying, "While on a flight to Cleveland, former US President Jimmy Carter tossed his cookies and, upon arrival, was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center for observation. He is resting comfortably and is expected to resume his book tour this week."

Carter, 85, was scheduled to appear at a book signing of his latest book, White House Diary at the Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Legacy Village on Tuesday afternoon.

MetroHealth hospital is the closest to the airport and the only level-one trauma center in Cleveland, Medpage Today reported.

#1 ... the worst president ever...

Well, so far he is the worst ex-president ever. That may change in January 2013 after Obama leaves office.

#2 Nice health care you received there, Jimmy. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it . . . .

#3 Maledicta Press, which began as academic research into the use of profanity and curses around the world, listed as one of its favorites a curse used by Greek homosexuals: "May your hemorrhoids hang like grapes."

It is forever associated in my mind with Jimmy Carter.

#4 It was great health care for the elitist ex prez. They closed the emergency room and kicked all the people out so it would be empty for him when he got there.

#5 Are you suggesting Pan, that these people be treated as mortals?

#6 Karl,

This is why I don't want you to call me Jimmy.

#7 I certainly hope no one was put in serious risk when they were evicted from their ER. I have never cared for Carter but I wish him a speedy recovery. And for those kicked out for the elitist pig, I hope them the best as well.
