Rest in Peace, President Carter

[Rajoo]

A momentous number

29

That’s the number of times that former president Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, ranked in the top 10 of Gallup’s annual Most Admired Man poll.

That’s the third-most top-10 finishes for any man between World War II and 2020, behind evangelist Billy Graham (61) and Ronald Reagan (31).

Reagan with 31? But he was very good at selling snake oil to the masses, so not surprised.

Bill Clinton is at 26 FWIW.

President Carter a humble man who did great things with his gift of life. Tried his best to leave the world a better place.

This is quite heart warming story about two presidents who were at the very least decent people outside of politics.

The unlikely bond between Mr. Carter and Mr. Ford is a rare story in the history of the American presidency and all the more unimaginable in today’s polarized environment, but it transcended politics and partisanship. The two men who clashed in the 1976 election eventually became so tight that they made a pact that when one of them died, the other would give a eulogy. Mr. Carter did that for Mr. Ford in 2007. Now, in a way, Mr. Ford will return the favor on Thursday.

While he did not survive to honor his successor in person, Mr. Ford left behind a written eulogy before he died and it will be read at Mr. Carter’s service at Washington National Cathedral by Steven Ford, the former president’s third son. Walter F. Mondale, who was Mr. Carter’s vice president, likewise left behind a eulogy before his own death to be read by his son Ted Mondale.

RIP presidents Ford and Carter.

That derelict, Steve Bannon is whining up a storm that no one bent the knee to El Mayor de Mar a Lardo. Pence's wife and Dubya, in particular.
