News Our Jimmy is everywhere

Jimmy Carter, that is. Last night, he was on the Daily Show, where he and John Stewart talked about crime in Atlanta. Actually, Stewart asked the former president about the theft of his and wife Rosalyn's bikes from a storeroom at the Carter Center. If I weren't so busy lately trying to home invasion-proof my house, I'd be embarrassed that our city got this kind of shout-out.
Then I flipped channels to find Jimmy live on CNN discussing President Obama with Larry King, or, as I prefer to call him, the Crypt Keeper.
Finally, I woke up this morning to NPR … and there was Jimmy's dulcent twang once more, explaining how we can have peace in the Middle East for only $27, or about the cost of a new hardcover book – which just happens to be titled We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work.
I haven't been able to check today, but I'm guessing I missed Jimmy on "The View."

Jon Stewart was poorly prepared for Carter's guest appearance. He did not read Chief Pennington's recent "interview" in the AJC apparently, that cute little Chat With Our Chief! in which Pennington said the citizens of Atlanta were simply "misrepresenting" the crime situation here.
