Jimmy Carter has apologized for what he called a "stupid" passage in his book that critics say is a de facto endorsement of Palestinian violence against Israelis.

The former president had spent most of the past two months defending his new book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid," after 15 board members at his Atlanta-based Carter Center resigned in protest of the book's content.

"I apologize to you personally and to everyone here," Mr. Carter said when asked about the passage by a student during his appearance at Brandeis University on Tuesday. After explaining that the passage was "worded in a completely improper and stupid way," Mr. Carter said he has asked publisher Simon & Schuster Inc. to change the wording in future editions of the book.

I have never liked President Carter's Politics! I have never thought he was a good or even competent President, in fact I rated him as the worst most incompetent President of my lifetime! BUT, the facts are that in the last six years I have lost all respect for what I once considered an "honorable" man, His virolent anti-Bush comments and obvious hatred for Israel mark him as a fool and maybe a bigot.
