Carter lays a wreath at Arafat's mausoleum
No great surprises here.Former US President Dhimmi Carter did today what President Bush declined to do in January: He laid a wreath at the mausoleum of former terror leader Yasser Arafat.
Arafat died of AIDS in 2004.
Carter is also to meet tonight with Nasser al-Shaer, a 'leading Hamas member' in Samaria, who was deputy Prime Minister in the 'Palestinian unity government' that fell apart when Hamas took over the Gaza Strip last June.
UPDATE 7:22 PM
Carter hugged Shaer when he met him this evening.
Yuck!At a reception in the West Bank town of Ramallah organized by Carter’s office, the former president hugged Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, meeting participants said. Embraces between men are a common custom in Arab culture.
“He gave me a hug. We hugged each other, and it was a warm reception,” Shaer told The Associated Press. “Carter asked what he can do to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israel … and I told him the possibility for peace is high.”

Jimmy Carter associates with some of the most repulsive people on the planet and there are those who still take him seriously as an elder statesman?
Dream on!
Jimmy Peanut makes me want to puke!
Here he is, trying to burnish his "legacy," all these years after departing the White House.
