Sounding more frail than we've ever heard him yet speaking more direct than he's ever done in his 80 years, James Earl Carter just delivered the speech of a lifetime. No exaggeration. I was floored. Jimmy had hinted at his disgust in his Nobel Prize speech but really pulled the hard punches. Not tonight. Tonight he spoke like a man frustrated with the world around him. A frustrated man who has earned the respect of the world rather than thumbed his nose at virtually every nation.
An amazing speech from an amazing man. Thank you, Mr. President.

No, I'm not kidding.
Think I know what Mikey's gettin' for Christmas this year!
