Ethiopia Chaos Continues -- EU blames Carter

CBC Reports:
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Ethiopia's electoral board appears to have lost control of the vote counting for the May 15 legislative polls, European Union election observers said in a report obtained by the Associated Press Wednesday.

The confidential report said the EU might have to make a public denunciation of developments to distance itself from "the lack of transparency, and assumed rigging" of the vote.

Interesting. The EU will not be able to certify the election, but guess who already has....,
The EU report also said U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who led a team of 50 election observers, undermined the electoral process and EU criticism with "his premature blessing of the elections and early positive assessment of the results."

That's right -- America's worst ex-president. Even the EU has soured on this guy. When, oh when, will the American government wise up and send him back to his peanut patch.
