Presidential Loyalties

Fox News

Jimmy Carter is siding with countries identified by the State Department for human rights violations — when it comes to the United Nations' proposal to overhaul its Human Rights Commission. Carter told the Council on Foreign Relations that he promised Pakistan, Egypt and Cuba that "the United States was not going to dominate all the other nations of the world in the Human Rights council."

The former president says he called Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to complain that the U.S. insistence on keeping rights abusers off the panel "subverted" his promise. Carter now says, "My hope is that when the vote is taken, the other members will outvote the United States."

If Bush would tell Carter to "shove it," Bush would gain 10 points in the polls overnight.
