Christopher Hitchens takes a whack at President Carter:
You could see this paradox demonstrated last Sabbath morn on the New York Times op-ed page, by Jimmy Carter: peanut czar, home-builder, Nobel laureate, and Baptist big mouth.

And the pope:
One wonders what it would take for the Vatican to condemn Saddam's regime [...] I suppose if Saddam came out for partial-birth abortions or the ordination of women or the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle he might be hit with a condemnation of some sort.
