If that is the case, there is nothing noble about it. I'm not sure I said nobility or reading between the lines had anything to do with it. You said one vote doesn't matter, I said, in practice, it's not one vote. Shrug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, for clarity, exactly what are you saying? It often feels like I cannot question what anyone says without them making some kind of competition/fight out of it. I was simply saying that A single vote from Carter isn't perhaps what it seems on the face of it. Do you actually disagree with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilham 752 Posted October 4 7 hours ago, Sod's Law said: He said he wanted Biden to read his eulogy at his funeral. Seems he (or his family) are almost completely sure he'll be gone by the time there's a new president sworn in in January, because it might otherwise look pretty unconventional to have an (also clocking on) former president take centre stage at the funeral of a deceased ex-president. Biden was the first Senator to support Carter; they have a long history. It looks natural for Biden to read the eulogy. I believe Carter himself wants to stay alive for this vote. That fits his belief system and personality. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taking him to look at planes is fine, but photographing someone in such an undignified state who clearly can't consent is very ethically questionable. I highly doubt he'd want to be seen by millions in such a state. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I highly doubt he'd want to be seen by millions in such a state. I got facepalmed and criticised a few pages back when I questioned the media circus Jason Carter was creating about 12 months ago. Now it seems most agree it's just not right. We've been here before. It feels like that phoney Prince and his exploitation of his then dying wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor. Hopefully this doesn't go on as long as that. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he is almost closer to is 100th birthday, then the death of Rosalynn now. Btw does anyone know how usual it is for someone to be still alive after 14 months in hospice care also? Called it. BTW happy late 100th birthday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InnovationIsMySpeciality 24 Posted October 13 I have some intriguing news for all of my morbid friends at the DeathList. In all of the excitement when it comes to the former president celebrating his centenary, it appears that there has been quite the update on his youngest son Jeff Carter. The DailyMail recently reported that People Magazine revealed that Jeff has Parkinson's Disease, which has since been confirmed by Jeff's son Josh. Jimmy Carter's youngest son Jeff, 72, reveals he's been living with Parkinson's disease | Daily Mail Online Will Jimmy Carter outlive his children? This question will keep the mymango fellow up at night for weeks to come..stay tuned when the answer is revealed in goodness knows how long from now at this rate. My personal belief is that Jimmy Carter will end up living long enough so they have the technology to put his head in a jar like that charming show Futurama did for the age-old celebrities it featured. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
