#1 Returning to Jerusalem after the session, Mr. Carter toured a crowded marketplace wearing the snug vest which he said must be made of some kind of expensive, heavy fabric.

Asked if he planned further talks with Hamas, Mr. Carter said, Yes. In fact, I expect theyll call me soon to trigger the next round.

heh - good catch, mojo :-)

#3 I liked this Scappleface too:

2008-04-15) As former President Jimmy Carter meets this week with Hamas leaders in the West Bank and Syria, sources at the State Department say President George Bush will soon honor Mr. Carters decades of freelance diplomacy by appointing him as the first U.S. Ambassador to Hell.

Bush just wants Carter to go there, said an unnamed State Department source, and to set up an embassy, and try to be a good listener, open a communication channel, find common ground.

#4 Sherman said it better:

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast.
