If you watch Gilmore girl you know that there are a lot of random things and facts that go way over normal peoples head. But I looked 79 Iran and Jimmy carter up on wikipedia and I cam up with this.

On a state visit to Iran, Carter spoke out in favor of the Shah, calling him a leader of supreme wisdom, and a pillar of stability in the volatile Middle East. The speech was apparently never shown on American television.

When the Iranian Revolution broke out in Iran, and the Shah was overthrown, the U.S. did not intervene. The Shah went into permanent exile. Carter initially refused him entry to the United States, even on grounds of medical emergency.

Despite his initial refusal to admit the Shah into the United States, on October 22, 1979, Carter finally granted him entry and temporary asylum for the duration of his cancer treatment; the Shah left for Panama on December 15, 1979. In response to the Shah's entry into the U.S., Iranian militants seized the American embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.[40] The Iranians demanded:

the return of the Shah to Iran for trial,
the return of the Shah's wealth to the Iranian people,
an admission of guilt by the United States for its past actions in Iran, plus an apology, and
a promise from the United States not to interfere in Iran's affairs in the future.
Though later that year the Shah left the U.S. and died in Egypt, the hostage crisis continued and dominated the last year of Carter's presidency. The subsequent responses to the crisis—from a "Rose Garden strategy" of staying inside the White House, to the unsuccessful attempt to rescue the hostages by military means—were largely seen as contributing to Carter's defeat in the 1980 election.

After the hostages were taken, President Carter issued, on November 14, 1979, Executive Order 12170 - Blocking Iranian Government property,[41] which was used to freeze the bank accounts of the Iranian government in US banks, totaling about $8 billion US at the time. This was to be used as a bargaining chip for the release of the hostages.

Now Is this right after his mom dies? I might be the Jimmy Carter thing if its the one where he is drinking a lot. Jimmy Carter was known to drink A LOT. But I don't know with out seeing the whole episode. But I love the show!!! She should have totally ended up with Jess!!!!

The Iranian hostages?

A correction here: Jimmy Carter was not a drinker. That was his brother Billy Carter (Billy beer).
