3. Rerun!

It was scheduled to be a new episode tonight but my guess is that after what happened in Boston at about 3:00PM they decided by 5:00PM there was no way to handle it and to rerun a show from last week.

6. I agree! The interview with President Carter was terrific!

[Beaverhausen]

7. He is a treasure. The best elder statesman ever

Sucks the right vilifies him so mercelessly.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Everyone had a history of vilifying him, but I was always sure that history would treat him kindly

He finally won the Nobel Peace Prize for the Camp David Accords (Israel and Egypt) 20 years after the fact, but has never been given credit for the effect his grain embargo had on bringing down the USSR. And now we finally know the truth about the Iran hostage situation, thanks to "Argo," and tonight he talked about his role in negotiating peace with the North Koreans during the Clinton administration. Then there's his international work with the Carter Center and his leadership with Habitat for Humanity. A national treasure, indeed!

Bill Maher, who has angered me by bashing President Carter in the past, on Friday called him the most successful president of our time, since he's the only one who didn't start a war.
