Jimmy Carter hoopla

Jimmy Carter is in the news again. Near as I can tell, it seems he was attacked by a ferocious killer rabbit. Some people have all the luck. What a gripping tale for the grandkids.

Er, wait. I guess this story is a few years old. According to the link I just posted, a book was even written about this incident. Having been in diapers at the time and not having investigated this further since, I can't tell if the author intended his book to be a work of serious journalism or a fantastic parody.“The animal was clearly in distress, or perhaps berserk. The President confessed to having had limited experience with enraged rabbits. He was unable to reach a definite conclusion about its state of mind. What was obvious, however, was that this large, wet animal, making strange hissing noises and gnashing its teeth, was intent upon climbing into the Presidential boat.” - Press Secretary Powell
