Former US president and 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter is to visit Venezuela, a spokeswoman for the Carter Center said.

Carter meet with the Organization of American States Secretary General Cesar Gaviria, who is mediating between the Venezuelan opposition and the government of President Hugo Chavez, Deanna Congileo said.

A media report earlier said Carter would be heading to Venezuela this weekend at the invitation of media mogul Gustavo Cisneros, who has significant interests in Venezuela and elsewhere in the Americas.

El Nuevo Herald daily said Carter would be making a mainly private visit to the protest-stricken nation. The former president was recently involved in unsuccessful attempts to mediate in the nation's bitter division.

Mr. Carter, stay out of it or we'll have another North Korea on our hands. You traveling over there will only stir the pot. I think President Bush has enough on his plate and does not need to worry about you and your idiotic ideas.

I never thought anything could make me feel sorry for Hugo Chavez, but having to host Jimmy Carter for a few days might do it. Good luck with him, Hugo. Give him a hammer and nails and maybe he'll go away.

Jimmuh Cawtuh is a steaming turd and the worst president of the 20th century. Yes, even worse than Boner Bill. At least the Bastard President was borderline competent.

I'm only interested in this story if Carter stays in Venezuela.

Why doesn't Mr. Carter just keep his nose out of everything, but his peanuts?

[petuniasevan]

Is he taking the "hugs for thugs" brigade with him? And will they stay in Venezuela long-term?

We can only hope...

[dalereed]

What a waste of jet fuel.

Chavez VP says government would accept court ruling upholding presidential referendum *** CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuela's vice president said the government would respect the high court if it rules to allow a Feb. 2 referendum on President Hugo Chavez's rule. However, Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel warned that such a ruling would create chaos in this country of 24 million coping with a general strike called by opponents to overthrow Chavez. "If the Supreme Tribunal confirms the referendum is constitutional we will accept this verdict," said Rangel. The government, he added, complied with a ruling exonerating the leaders of an April 11 coup against Chavez. ***
