The funny thing is that his political instincts were reasonably-effective in Georgia, but much less so in DC. Odd.

I went to wiki earlier to read up on the Shah, and came across this about Carter.
quote:
The Shah suffered from gallstones that would require prompt surgery. He was offered treatment in Switzerland, but insisted on treatment in the United States. President Carter did not wish to admit Mohammad Reza to the U.S. but came under pressure from many quarters, with Henry Kissinger phoning Carter to say he would not endorse the SALT II treaty that Carter had just signed with the Soviet Union unless the former Shah was allowed into the United States, reportedly prompting Carter more than once to hang up his phone in rage in the Oval Office and shout "frick the Shah!".
