I thought it was hilarious. And I, too, want to know what he dropped
the grand on.

But have you met him? I have a friend (and coincidentallly a lifelong
Democrat who's active in local politics) who met him. Not at any
function or in an official capacity. He was at the museum in Plains
wandering around looking at exhibits and Carter happened to be there.
He has a picture of the two of them on his "love-me" wall.
