“I have never wished a man dead, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.” Mark Twain.
In Sharpton’s case, I’ll make an exception.
“I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.” - Mark Twain
That one by Twain reminds me of one I learned a few years ago. “I don’t wish him any bad luck, but if he had some I wouldn’t mind hearing about it.”
