Logan Act? What Logan Act?

That statute, by way of review....:

forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

The text of the Act is broad and is addressed at any attempt of a US citizen to conduct foreign relations without authority. However, there is no record of any convictions or even prosecutions under the Logan Act.[1][2]

Which can be the only possible explanation for the post-White House meddling career of the worst president and most arrogant, perfidious, treacherous amoral supremacist to ever slither across the face of the planet.

Guess what?  He's at it again:

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter plans to meet Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Syria next week, despite U.S. efforts to isolate the Islamist Palestinian group, Al Jazeera television said.

The meeting was expected to take place in the Syrian capital Damascus on April 18, and may also include former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and former South African President Nelson Mandela.

"Senior Hamas officials have confirmed the Carter meeting but declined to speak on camera out of both political and security considerations," Al Jazeera said on Thursday.

Washington shuns Hamas as a terrorist group and has joined Israel in supporting efforts to isolate it.

Have you ever noticed that despite years of these idiotic, illegal foreign policy junkets, Mr. Peanut never gets taken hostage?  You'd think that some of the slime devils he idolizes and loves to play groupie to might take the opportunity to capture this fool of an infidel and test the market to see what they could get for him.  At the very least, it would put President Bush in a PR bind, as, in this case, Meshaal would be doing him and all Americans a huge favor, but Dubya's self-assumed role of anti-terror warrior would force him to take decisive action to either rescue the Goober Plenopotentiary or avenge him.

I guess I answered my own question, didn't I?  Not that Bush would invade Syria - he could (and should) have done that years ago - rather, Hamas would get less for Sharkboy than a full pallet of "Re-elect Eliot Spitzer" campaign buttons.

Can't imagine what Carter, Meshaal, Annan, and Mandela will have to discuss, can you?

That wasn't a rhetorical question - just pure cynicism.

Did I mention that Mr. Peanut is just slightly less anti-Semitic than you-know-who?

Hey, if nobody will enforce the Logan Act on Carter, and send his wrinkled ass to the slammer for the meager remains of his miserable, worthless life, I get to breach Godwin's Law just as egregiously.
