I'm going to put money on the following:

1. The Bushes are classy and say nice things to comfort Roslyn and the rest of the family. Something about how he was a dedicated public servant, who was committed to fair elections, who built houses for the poor. The words "he" and "him" and "they" will be used over 300 times.

2. The Clintons will talk about how wonderful The Carters where to them, how great a relationship they had, how it made the Clinton presidency more important to the world, how Carter supported them no matter what. The words "me" and "I" and "we" will be used over 300 times.

3. The family, or perhaps Al Gore as pointed out previously, will come unhinged and say horrible things about the Bushes and the Reagans and conservatives and talk about how they are ruining the world. The words "stolen," "war" and "worse" will be used over 300 times.

Not that it's predictable or any thing. /eye roll.

4. The media will gush endlessly about what a wonderful human being and president Jimmy Carter was, and proclaim the day of his death to be one of the darkest in our history. There will be nothing seen of the 10,000 word NYT "obituary" that was nothing more than a long-winded screed of pure sneering hatred, none of the thinly veiled contempt shown by broadcast "journalists", none of the grimacing, hypocritical claims of "we really liked him and are saddened by his death" that were fully on display when President Reagan died.
