Best Jimmy Carter crack ever. 

The comedian Greg Fitzsimmons sat in with Howard today to do the news with Robin Quivers.  Robin reported how Jimmy Carter said racism was behind the opposition to Obama, and Fitzsimmons cracked:

Jimmy Carter, fresh off his his book, “Fucking Jews,” is deciding who’s racist.

Howard loved it, of course.

My New Years resolution is to keep this blog and Foodaism up daily.  If Howard can host a radio show, make a movie, produce a TV show and write two best-selling books—I can handle everything going on at work and write a fachacta blog.

Shana Tova, Mr. Fitzsimmons.
