Quick observations on today's funeral for President Jimmy Carter:
President Obama obviously had one job this morning — to occupy Benedict Donald so that no one else would have to talk to him.
The Bible reading by Josh Carter seemed like pointed commentary: "The law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. The sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." Hmm.
Could there have been at least one woman eulogizer? Seemed an omission when you consider how many women Carter appointed to government and, especially, to the judiciary during his Presidency.
That said, Jason Carter is a star. He was the best, closely followed by Andrew Young, but every speaker was good. (Dark Brandon, too.)
It was touching to see the Bidens shake hands with Prime Minister Trudeau after the service. But of course Justin was there — the Carters attended his father's funeral in Montreal in 2000. We cats PURR.
