The NYT is live-blogging the service at the National Cathedral, here. Excerpts:
It is unusual for five living presidents to be together in one place. Before 1991, there was only one other period in United States history, around 1861, when more than five presidents were even alive at the same time....
President-elect Trump has been talking almost nonstop to former President Barack Obama since the two sat down next to each other a few minutes ago. The conversation seems to be mostly one sided, with Obama listening and responding with shorter answers.
Joe and Jill Biden have arrived and taken their seats in the front row next to the vice president and Doug Emhoff.
While the cathedral is largely full, the congressional section has a lot of empty seats.
ADDED: There are 5 living Presidents and the oldest is the current President!
AND: We've all been trying to frame this joke:
PLUS: There is nothing to be sad about here and there is no need to forbid humor.Former President Barack Obama casually and amiably chats with Adolf Hitler as the latter is set to assume power in 11 days, end American democracy, and impose a white nationalist dictatorship. https://t.co/4tbj46yVk8

ALSO: The only missing spouse of a President is Michelle Obama. Fortunately, Town & Country has the explanation:
According to journalist Jeff Zeleny, speaking on CNN, she had scheduling conflicts. "I'm told by her advisors that she has scheduling conflicts," Zeleney said on the network's broadcast of the funeral. "She's still in Hawaii," he added.
She was scheduled to be in Hawaii! The last time I saw "scheduling conflicts" used as an excuse, it was Kamala Harris explaining why she wasn't going to do the Joe Rogan podcast.

Trump seems to be cracking Obama up.
Why is everyone else so solemn? The guy lived to 100.
I have an even-numbered license plate.
Am I mourning Jimmy today or was that yesterday?
Wife and I will not mourn him. In 1976 - 1980 we were a young couple fresh out of grad school and starting out in life with a fixed-upper of a house and two good jobs but two beater cars to replace. It was no fun thanks to him and his policies.
Is "live blogging" a funeral or memorial service proper and respectful?
Are journalists out front shouting at Jill, Melania, Kamala, and Hillary, "Who are you wearing?"
remember! he was a "Nuclear Engineer" !!
"In March 1953, Carter began a six-month nuclear power plant operation course at Union College in Schenectady. His plans changed when his father died of pancreatic cancer in July.. Carter obtained a release from active duty "
Every Thing you've Ever heard (at least, every Positive thing) about Jimmy Carter was Bullsh*t
Where is Michelle Obama?
So long Jimmy, there sure are lots of humans in this country that could use new habitats right now, but you never really built all that many anyway.
Oh ugh. Isn't this over yet?
I refuse to respect this creep.
Ronald Reagan was loved! Still is.
Did Trump bring a hammer?
Props to whoever seated the Bidens next to the Harrises. Comedy gold.
Since the pulpit is not letting his funeral go to waste, it's always been equality of opportunity, not of outcome...
Looking at President arriving and sitting, I thought, who is that big, ugly old guy shaking everyone's hand, and then realized its Al Gore. LOL. Laura Bush has aged well. I wondered why the Presidents sat where they did, and then realized it was by years in office, Clinton at one end, and Trump at the other.
Melania probably demanded to sit at the end, so she doesn't have to pretend to like Obama. Pence shook Trump's hand and made small talk. I don't Trump, like all the Presidents, doesn't take any of this personally. The First Ladies, including Hillary, probably do.
No need. Trump is certainly spewing his patented and incessant self-serving and self-aggrandizing bullshit and ignorance, peppered with insults and name-calling toward any and everyone else currently irritating him. Obama, on his part, is just making non-committal phatic responses, hoping Trump will shut up sooner than later.
O to DJT: "Can you imagine having to sit through this when Joe goes?"
DJT to O: "How about we have a nice dinner at my place instead?"
Michelle was scheduled to spend the day at the beach. Sorry.
"Melania probably demanded to sit at the end, so she doesn't have to pretend to like Obama."
If she can prevent herself from shivering and retching when in the presence of her husband, Melania certainly would have no difficulty maintaining her perpetual icy impassivity if near or in conversation with Obama.
Listening to these eulogies is impossible. Drone, drone, drone. I'd rather be the corpse than sit there and listen to them.
Jimmy Carter was a great american who pushed for peace in the middle east. So, I'm glad everyone (except Mrs. Obama) showed up.
Truly enjoying the slow burn Kamala is doing while her former buddy Obama yucks it up with Trump. Pretty sure they were joking about how shitty a candidate Kammy was.
Ah our resident spewer...
Gone the way of Big Mike, ha ha ha.
Sounds like Cook needs to renew his stays at Holiday Inn Express so he play at being a cool and reasonable voice of opposition.

If you’re angling for a job with the YouTube channel badlipreading.com, don’t quit your day job.
Based on his early choices to head up various departments and agencies, I believe he is.
I agree with everything you say.
Angry with Barack for personal reasons?
Angry with Joe for screwing up Obama's legacy?
Angry with Kamala for screwing up Biden's legacy?
Angry with Donald for popping her fantasy bubble?
All of the above?
I considered going to the funeral to do as Eleanor Clift, long-time lefty who is still on the planet, did when Nixon died: To make sure he was dead. But there were others going with the same intent. So my work was done.
Maybe they are discussing the absolute weirdness that each of them will one day be lying exactly where Carter now is - a bit like Tom Sawyer attending his own funeral.
There are more than 5 living presidents if you count all the co-presidents under Biden.
Too soon?
You stay classy, Moochelle!
Trump is inviting Obama to Mar-a-Lago. Michelle’s in Hawaii, perfect opportunity for a visit.
phatic = denoting or relating to language used for general purposes of social interaction, rather than to convey information or ask questions. Utterances such as hello, how are you? and nice morning, isn't it? are phatic.
=================
thanks ; learned new word.
you mean >> Obama keep saying nonsense ?
No one is canceling or cutting short a trip to Hawaii in January for Jimmy Carter. The guy lived to 100. I understand the JFK funeral ceremony stuff because he was assisted while in office. But the spectacle of these other funerals for nonagenarian ex presidents and Jimmy the Centarian are absurd.
Mike Obama is visiting an old friend. He's in a different church today.
The Obama's own many expensive mansions at very exclusive locations. Nice governmetn work, if you can get it.
Cook - seems as far fetched as the rest of the hate-filled hacktastic leftist hot garbage that persists as know-it-all-ism on team Soviet.
Melania is free to divorce Don. She hasn't. But holy and precious leftists think they know it all about their marriage.
Where's the current Shiitte-in-Chief? Still finishing up his morning porridge with accompanying drool?
Michelle had to get her nails done.
A return to normalcy
For those not keeping track, Glennwald is pointing out the hypocrisy of the Democrats dangerously calling Trump “Hitler” and now treating him as if he was never the threat to Democracy they claimed.
Michelle not being there - I understand. She probably doesn't want to be near Trump... er Literally Hitler! Seeing as how she refuses to run for president - knowing she would more than likely win - it's a signal to everyone that she is over it.
I could be wrong.
Jesus, Cook. Your life is big progressive black and white cartoon.
Robert cook said "No need. Trump is certainly spewing his patented and incessant ... " blah blah blah some more.
I seriously doubt it. Trump in private mode is pretty effective it appears.
I am struck by how old George W. Bush looks. Also, it looks to me like Obama is doing most of the talking there. I could be wrong as Trump's head is obscured a bit. Everyone looks very tired, though. Did it all start very early in the morning, or was there travel difficulties due to the weather?
Gonna be a long four years for Cookie.
Or less than 5 if you consider Biden not to be fully "living."
This might be unduly snarky, but that does not appear to be a traditional Baptist funeral.
Still, better Trump burning his ear than the bat.
“And then I said, ‘Hey, I’m gonna make Joe my VP.’
Don, You wouldn’t believe the gasps in that room!”
“Good one, Burr Head Boy.”
If Trump talks, he talks nonstop. If he doesn’t talk, it’s probably worse.
Negotiations with the Carter people broke down over Michelle’s appearance fee. The Carter people drove a hard bargain.
Erick Erickson says that off camera and microphones people said Carter was disliked in Washington.
A sentimental photo on my desktop is Michelle screaming at Barack.
@Cookie sez: "Trump is certainly spewing his patented and incessant self-serving and self-aggrandizing....".
Or maybe Trump is just pointing out that instead of the problem of Conservatives being 'so Far Right', maybe it's more a case of Conservatives being 'Right So Far'.
I had the same reaction, Sydney. W looks so old I thought Bush Sr was attending from the grave. Also, counter to the NYT headline, Obama is talking to Trump. Trump appears to be responding, not initiating.
Melania's thinking, "I wish I'd come up with the Hawaii excuse."
" ... There is nothing to be sad about here ...".
Oh, I'm not so sure about that. I've been thinking about Carter's Playboy interview, and that famous remark that looking lustfully at a woman other than his wife was "adultery in my heart". I am wondering if he maybe meant that, having sworn an oath to "forsake all others", he felt obliged to try to do exactly that. And that failing in that obligation, while quite possibly humanly unavoidable, was nonetheless a regrettable failure.
By all the evidence, theirs was a happy marriage. His concern for the terms of their agreement may have been an important reason. Who knows, what a woman feels, when her husband takes a long look at another woman's cleavage? I'm sure I don't. But Jimmy Carter was sure as hell no Bill Clinton.
I heard that she needed to wash her wig.
Did they have to surgically separate Musk from Trump for the Carter funeral? Probably have to find a proctologist willing to talk off the record….
What goes unsaid is how obvious they are about the pecking order in Washington. It’s like an award show.
Hollywood for ugly people.
Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America is also pretty funny.
Insty pointed out that not only is Obama talking to the current Hitler the previous Hitler and Eva Braun are sitting on the other side of him.
All the former POTUS' have their hair. No bald genes, I guess. Biden, IRC, had plugs. Wait, I just remembered Obama is sorta bald.
GWB and Bill Clinton are both 78 years old. Time flies.
Erick Erickson called Michelle Obama a "marxist harpy". So, I'm not really interested in his opinion. He also wrote on J6 "Shoot the protestors."
"Waive the rules, impeach. Waive the rules, convict," Erickson wrote at the time, adding, "Waive the rules, deny the ability to run for election again".
He's a fake and embarrassment.
Bush has half a pate
is National Cathedral denominator fluid?
I understand the JFK funeral ceremony stuff because he was assisted while in office.
=================
nice one there >>> he was show you to the box!
The real funeral will be a private one at a Baptist church in Plains, GA later this afternoon. The event at the National Cathedral was a just a DC media formality.
@Narayanan - The National Cathedral is nominally Episcopalian but frequently hosts ecumenical events.
Singing Imagine in a Christian Cathedral is a perfect metaphor for Jimmy Carter's life: Looks devout on the outside, pure Leftist bile within.
"Former President Barack Obama casually and amiably chats with Adolf Hitler"
True. Check out the Nazi symbols on the floor under the casket!
Seig Heil.
I was thinking she skipped because Jimmy Carter was President at a time when Michelle wasn’t proud of her country.
Any eulogy for Carter should start, "I come here to bury Carter....".
LOL that's so good. Comedy gold.
Haha, probably the best atheist commie song ever.
What were you expecting, snake-handling?
Obsessing over Musk like a good and loyal democratic frat boi.
I remember as a youngster in 1974 realizing that the only living President at that time was the current President. This was during the term of Richard Nixon.
9 days? That's almost as long as Queen Elizabeth's proceedings, and she was the existing queen, not from 40 years ago.
I read somewhere he planned it all himself--what an ego.
LLR-democratical Rich remains very very very bitter that his years long non-stop predictions of gloom and doom and failure for ALL (yes, ALL) of Musk's business ventures have fallen by the way side over and over and over again.
This is even more problematic for our Harry-Sisson-like-Abacus-Boy because he attempted to position himself as the business wunderkind of Althouse blog with lots and lots of cut and pastes from equally failed commenters regarding how Elon's businesses could not hope to survive.
And here we are.
So Li'l Rich lashes out daily against Musk using (what else?) tired lefty narratives and tropes that are already so stale in the marketplace of ideas that you have to wonder what's really going on here.
Its going to be an extremely difficult 4 years for LLR-democratical Rich and not even LLR-democratical lonejustice's sad musings will be enough to cheer him up!
I don’t think Bush would look so bad if he had a better hair stylist. His hair is just plastered to his head. He probably woke up with bed head and used too much hair gel. On that note, does Trump do his own hair every morning? Cause it always looks so perfect. I’m not too fond of Melania’s outfit but it does stand out. That may have been the point. Fashion models do know how to make themselves noticed. Clinton looks better than he’s looked in a long time. I bet he wishes he was sitting with Obama and Trump.They’re the cool kids. Everyone wants to know: What are they saying?
I wasn't expecting snake-handling, but I wasn't expecting robed and collared clergy with bishop staffs and processing crucifixes.
I don't know if its ego, but we are talking about a guy who, as President, couldn't stop himself from being the personal scheduler for the White House tennis courts.
Nine days of ceremony seems excessive to me.
Carter was an HR staffer on Navy sub; gross exaggeration to call that job position "nuclear scientist". Oh truth, ever fleeting, largely unimportant when building-up a politician.
In Hawaii, per Town & Country magazine, schedule conflict with her weekly mani-pedi.
I heard from an insider that when he went into hospice they started reviewing the funeral plans and realized with some alarm that most of the people selected to make remarks were already dead.
Sad truth is that nobody liked Carter, not even his kids. He was what is called a "difficult personality". Rosalind's on-camera lovey-dovey demeanor may have just been show.
"I'm told by her advisors that she has scheduling conflicts ,,, " Yes. Barack was scheduled to be there too.
Hillary has lost weight. Ozempic or something similar.
Half a pate for half a brain.
Michelle is done honoring old white guys.
Kamala, the ugly bridesmaid, gets snubbed again.
Pence sitting prominently just behind the celebrity-star aisle. Surprised he was even invited. Where's Gore? Where's Dr Jill?
Trump beat Hillary, Biden (forced his exit), Kamala, and Obama (as Biden puppet master and Kamala top campaigner). He also beat Jeb! in 2016 primary. Lots of notches on his belt among that crowd.
Eva Marie wrote;
"I don’t think Bush would look so bad if he had a better hair stylist."
I got a good look at the top of Biden's head for the first time. It's fugly with liver spots. Yet his face is that of a much younger man.
I again applaud the cosmetic and medical teams that have made him look 20 years younger than he is.
SNUBBED! Pence's Wife Gives Trump the Cold Shoulder! Obama Gets Chummy?! Bulwark Channel
"Non-committal, phatic responses" are Obama's specialty.
And no, the private Trump doesn't put on shows like the public Trump. That he's talking to Obama at all is an indication that past grievances aren't the biggest thing on his mind.
Bush is balding, so that gives him an old man look. To me, it looks like he's contented and at peace since he doesn't have to think about anything anymore.
Big Meech plain didn't want to go but she can't just say so? I heard she's a judge at the Young Democrats girls & trannies hula contest, so she could not attend. Bigger fish to fry and all that. Aloha.
Much controversy online about "Imagine" by John Lennon being the song Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood sang at the ceremony. I haven't seen the ceremony, so I don't know if they changed the lyrics. I doubt it.
It's been said that she despises politics and the associated limelight, so it seems to reinforce that position that she would say 'no'. I can't say I blame her.
Doug Emhoff looks out of place. Maybe he's glad that Kamala lost and things are going back to normal. Nobody's heard any nanny jokes about him this year.
Justin Castreau is sitting next to Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, in the front row of the transept. Joint Chiefs across the aisle.
Drago: Does the double standard of billionaire Soros (and really all of Hollywierd) being surgically inserted into each Democrat rectum while complaining about Musk's involvement with PDJT even occur to dimwit LLR Rich? lol
Yep, he hammers in the mourning.
"Gonna be a long four years for Cookie"
Don't forget how long it will be for the rest of the nation. Trump's idiocies re: The Gulf of Mexico/America, US statehood for Canada, and taking ownerhood of Greenland--coming before he's even become the new Presiden--is a screaming alarm that Trump is becoming, if possible, even more childish and stupid than has shown himself to be previously.
Obama is certainly spewing his patented and incessant self-serving and self-aggrandizing bullshit and ignorance, peppered with insults and name-calling toward any and everyone else currently irritating him.
A more accurate description of Obama could not be better written.
Nothing but sour Michelle Obama needed to stay in Hawaii and catch up on her shopping at Target, where racists mistake her for an employee.
And btw, Cook? If not for Obama peppering him with insults and name-calling at the WHCD, Trump would've never entered the political arena.
That's gotta sting.
It's been said that she despises politics and the associated limelight, so it seems to reinforce that position that she would say 'no'.
It's also been said she's a self-centered bitch who cares about nobody but herself.
a screaming alarm that Trump is becoming, if possible, even more childish and stupid than has shown himself to be previously.
But you're knocking down that bar with flying colors. You go. Show everybody here what most of us already knew.
"Melania probably demanded to sit at the end"? No, they're in order by time in office from Clinton on the right to Trump on the left, and all the wives are to the left of their husbands, except that Michelle isn't there, so Obama and Trump are adjacent. Tipper Gore isn't there either, so Al Gore and Mike Pence are adjacent in the row behind the presidents. There were two vice presidents between Gore and Pence, but neither of the Cheneys showed up, and Biden is of course sitting two rows forward. Is Dan Quayle on the other side of Gore? If so, the photographers cut him out of the pictures I saw.
"Remember that time you said I'd never be president? Good times. Good times."
Ref the “lust in my heart” gaffe: he also had one in 1980 when he said about his primary opponent Ted Kennedy, “I’ll kick his ass.” This was the first on-camera vulgarity by a POTUS.
SNL hilariously paid tribute to both in their 70s superhero cartoon spoof, “The Ex-Presidents,” when, just before super-Carter punched out a villain, he said, “I have lust in my heart….to kick your ass!”
Wish Biden had mentioned that in his eulogy.
JSM
Melania hates all of those people with a blazing passion. You could see it in her facial expression. Kamala didn't acknowledge any of them. She kind of shoved Doug into his seat.
marquemywords
@MARQUEMYWORD
Melania's Pilgrim dress screams "witchhunt". That's what the odious group of people have been engaged in for years against the Trump family. Melania's look conjures up visions of an innocent woman about to be burned at the stake and highlights the hypocrisy and harshness of that evil society. She behaved as stoically as any unhappy heroine ever has. I just love Melania.
2:36 PM · Jan 9, 2025
Wow! Sick burn Pence's wife!
By the way, before you snark about Melania's expression, you should know that her mother died one year ago today, so she has a perfect right to look glum.
Remember that this hysterical whining is coming from the commenter who believed that it was desperately important to vote in the President who has taken us to the brink of WW3, because the man who is currently working to defuse the crisis, even before taking office, was so "dangerous."
She should have worn a T-Shirt that said "Stay out of my fucking underwear drawer, scumbags."
Not that a funeral is cause for any mirth, but did you see the dude-bro way the George W. Bush greeted Obama?
https://x.com/reesejgorman/status/1877386631482671579
RH sneers that its "soap opera". Of course its soap opera. its just a funeral for an ex-POTUS. The funeral just shows that Kipling was right:
"When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
'Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Trump/Clinton/Obama/Bush will chat away. Nothing personal, old man. But Hillary, Michelle, Laura, and Melania ? No way.
As for Mrs. Pence, she was always known to be the Trump hating spouse. She's also the one who dragged Pence to "Hamilton" and forced him to smile and blather when the cast insulted him.
We become almost blase about these famous people living to 100 or so. Imagine if that'd happened in the past. IKe would've died in 1990. FDR in 1982. LBJ would've lived till 2007 and JFK till 2017. And Teddy Roosevelt would've congratulated Ike on his victory in 1952 and lived to see Sputknik.
That image of Teddy Roosevelt congratulating Ike is a keeper.
It's probably nothing at all like Michael Corleone at his father's burial.
Nothing ever "occurs" to Rich. He is simply moving along the rhetorical path his party "betters" have directed him. Rich could no more deviate from his directives than he could chew off his own arm. He is a complete NPC commenter.
Jimmy Carter's grandstanding got Sadat assassinated, and accomplished nothing but advancing the PLO agenda.
And got the nice peaceful ayatollahs installed as leaders of Iran to replace that awful terrible autocratic Shah. Shah being a corruption (successor?) word to Caesar. This is a list of islamic religious leaders from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_religious_leaders Note- there is not formal training required for any of them. Many government institutions in the USA have imams to swerve the islamics in the system. And they're all self proclaimed since there is no training. If enough people (define enough...) consider him (there are no female leaders) an imam, lo and behold, he's an imam. On government salary.
100, or even late 90s, is still unusual, but a surprising number make it to at least 90: Ford (93), Reagan (93), GHW Bush (94). I read somewhere that only 10% of men from that era make it to 93, so that's a pretty good run. Clinton, Trump, and W are all 78, hard to know if they'll join that group. I wouldn't bet on Biden even making it to 85.
Even better if it were like Michael Corleone at his son's baptism.
Trump sitting there smiling with Barack while Don Jr., Navarro, Rudi and Bannon were "taking care" of his enemies in Congress, the DOJ and MSM.
Carter was in training to be the engineering officer onboard USS Seawolf SSN-575, the second nuclear submarine, when his father died. And as a Naval Academy graduate class of 1946 he had fulfilled his six-year commitment before he resigned.
I'm not a fan of Jimmy Carter, but I'm not going to knock him over this.
Consequences play out over decades. Carter left many positive legacies and few negative ones. Like Truman, he will be reassessed -- favorably. In contrast, the Reagan and Bush presidencies for all their triumphalism left trains of major negative consequences that continue to unfold to the present day through tax and regulatory encouragement of income inequality and wealth concentration and a unilateralism in foreign and military affairs that led to the disastrous policies of President George W. Bush, Reagan's political inheritor.
The Reagan-inspired idea that "government is the problem" is one of the most toxic legacies ever and exists on a different planet from "government of the people, for the people." Unfortunately we still are too often in the grip of "government is the problem" thinking when for example health care can only be straightened out by government; the "private sector" profiteering has turned it into the biggest cesspool in the nation's history. Plutocratic greed got its talons into the Washington policymaking apparatus during the Reagan era. When the well-connected can deregulate their way to billions, don't be surprised that Washington becomes the "free market" for this type of rent purchasing.
Carter's biggest shortcoming may have been his energy policies, based on incorrect assessments of domestic scarcity, particularly natural gas. His Synfuels project was a poster child for bad industrial policy. Energy markets are awesomely powerful. Reagan's deregulatory efforts in energy created lasting goodwill with average Americans for whom home heating and vehicle fuel purchases are their largest variable living expenses.
One enduring lesson is that high inflation and gas lines at the pump will unhorse a president, particularly a Democratic one, at the next general election. One should not let both phenomena into the same election cycle. Better to let inflation run than have voters stewing in gas lines.
Carter's observation of Ted Kennedy is astute. He embodied enough of what Americans don't like about the sense of entitlement prevalent in Washington D.C. to have been the Alf Landon of modern Democratic presidential candidates if he had ever got the nomination. The "dream shall never die" was a delusion of the Kennedy myth making establishment -- but hey, on a good day with a following breeze ... But probably never against Reagan. The Democratic establishment in Washington to this day has a Kennedy-esque aura to it that is mistrusted by many average people across the country. As Hillary Clinton has shown, political legatees lack the fundamental personal accomplishment to close the deal, at least in the Democratic party. There has to be an echo of authenticity in the campaign hoopla. And Ted Kenney had some pretty dark sides, too.
One should remember that Jimmy Carter got the job in 1976 because he was from far outside Washington D.C. That was a strength that also turned out to be a weakness when it came to successfully playing the Washington game, the ultimate test to win reelection.
Jesus, Cook. Get a helmet.
She was scheduled to be in Hawaii!
"Why should I go to this white man's funeral? He was B.O. (Before Obama). I was never proud of my country, B.O."
I skipped it, too, so I guess I ought to cut her some slack.
Barry: "Come on Michelle, you know you are First Lady."
Michelle: "First Lady is not a job and I'm retired if it is one!"
Barry: "We have a duty to the country."
Michelle: "Duty can suck it! I'm a free woman!"
Well, Jimmy's days in the sun were well before Michelle became proud of her country. Wonder how she's feeling about it now?
Michelle probably just didn't want to sit next to Trump. Vance was born after Carter's presidency. I assume the stiffs behind Trump are SS.
One of the basic tenets of Christianity is that we are all sinners, of varying degrees. One of the startling things that Jesus does in Bible study is remind you of your sins. While simultaneously, reminding you of grace and how you are redeemed. So it's a process of "boy, I really messed up" and "it's all good now."
"No one is canceling or cutting short a trip to Hawaii in January for Jimmy Carter."
Doesn't she have a house in Hawaii? How special could her trip be?
It was Michelle's "Leg Day."
Notice that they put the coffin on the Maltese cross that Senator Fauxahotas was so upset about. It was even on the funeral program!
