Former President Jimmy Carter said Sunday he hopes to be buried in front of his home in Plains, the southwest Georgia town where he and his wife were born. "Plains is special to us," the 82-year-old said during a three-hour live C-SPAN2 interview. "I could be buried in Arlington Cemetery or wherever I want, but my wife was born here and I was born here."
As a child, Carter briefly lived next door to Rosalynn, and the two began dating in 1945. The couple married the next year and in July celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
"Plains is where our hearts have always been," he said.
Carter said there are also plans for a funeral in Washington as well as a brief display of his body in Atlanta.

Jimmy Carter said Sunday he hopes to be buried in front of his home in Plains Good- maybe he can prop up a big Stuckey's sign and do something constructive.

It is a very sad commentary on a person's life when it is said that the planet will be better off with their passing, but Jimmy Carter will join such notables as Adolf Hitler, Ayatollah Kohmeini, Fidel Castro, and Kim Jong Il of whom this is true.

No he was the worst of all Presidents... Plus Jimmah was by far the worst ex-President of all time. Never has an ex-President been such an anti-American. I expect Bill Clinton may try to take that title though.
To: eddie willers
LOLOLOL!! This is the funniest thread I have ever read on FReepers!! Please, bring on some more!
Jimmah can be buried next to his pal Ho Chi Minh for all I care. That makes for two bucktoothed M&^%$#*ers in the same bait bucket.

Just throw his carcass in a "house for humanity" and torch it.

I certainly hope there has been someone trustworthy designated to drive a stake through his heart to ensure the bastard stays put.

Has this worthless human waste made his reservations in hell already? Maybe he can sit next to the Ayatollah and they can reminisce about 1979.
