    I hope Carter survives Bush Sr., so that the next picture of the living presidents shows Bush Jr. surrounded by four democratic presidents.

  24. Afghan militant Jalaluddin Haqqani has also probably been dead for quite some time: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-33740337 Like Mullah Omar, another unique not-hit for someone in the DDP. Looks like someone over there decided to check on a few people (for his deadpooling?) and found a couple of corpses.
