The NOBEL PRIZE: Carter's Disgrace.(former president Jimmy Carter )
Former president Jimmy Carter's Nobel Peace Prize came with a booby prize for President George W. Bush. The official citation contrasted Carter with "a situation currently marked by threats of the use of power." Gunnar Berge, the chairman of the Norwegian prize committee, spelled it out for the slow: The award "should be interpreted as a criticism of the line that the current [American] administration is taking toward Iraq." If George Bush shuts down Iraq as he has the Taliban, the world will be a safer place, but don't expect the Norwegians to notice.
Carter's comment on the matter captured the man. "I feel very strongly about" Iraq, he said (he is, of course, opposed to enforcing disarmament). "But I didn't think it was appropriate to mention it. I haven't spent the last 22 years walking around saying what I would or wouldn't do if I were still president." But that is exactly what Carter has done, setting himself up as a pious counterexample to Republican presidents, and a nagging offstage adviser to Democrat Bill Clinton. Carter's comment maintained a false front of propriety, over a proud, corrupt substance. Whited sepulchers, anyone?
