There seems to be an inverse relationship between what a politician accomplished and the official hoopla over his funeral. This reminds me of McCain’s body being dragged all over the country, lying in State at the Capitol and seemingly endless tribute funerals. Jimmy Carter was a nasty incompetent - just why will he be one of six Presidents to merit a state funeral?
He was a Democrat. It's all the rage. Just wait until Obama and Kamalama Ding Dong get up to give eulogies and speak on how JC's legacy is an important reminder to stay in the fight, blah, blah, blah....
