Zimbabwe is about to go from bad to worse because of a massive cholera outbreak. So he's not exactly wrong...

Carter issued a statement Tuesday condemning what he said was Harare's decision to renege on an agreement to allow him, Annan and Machel into the country. He also offered a damning assessment of the Mugabe regime. "After almost three decades of governmental corruption, mismanagement and oppression, Zimbabwe has become a basket case, an embarrassment to the region and a focus of international concern and condemnation," he said.

... he's just a shameless hypocritical simpleton:

Carter had barely settled in at the White House in 1977 when he set about establishing his presidency as different. Instead of leading with the pragmatic idealism that marked most successful U.S. presidencies, the former governor of Georgia said he would base his leadership on a new, ill-defined concept of "human rights."... In Rhodesia, Carter kept up sanctions begun under his predecessors. But he went further by undermining the election of Bishop Abel Muzorewa as prime minister in 1979 to protest the exclusion of candidate Robert Mugabe. In response to Carter's pressure, new elections were held, giving Mugabe the victory he has held onto as Africa's worst dictator.

What next? A tirade against the mullahs who took over after Iran after he sold out the Shah?

At least we haven't just elected a human rights-inclined President who ran on the exact same empty slogans that propelled Carter into the White House - and thus Mugabe into Zimbabwe and the mullahs into Iran:
