Wow. He fought cancer a third of his life. That’s pretty tough.

Jordan's battle with cancer began 22 years ago, when he was diagnosed with lymphoma, followed by bouts with melanoma and prostate cancer. That means he was 41 when he was diagnosed with lymphoma. I don't even know what that is and I'm 40. I still feel young and healthy, but by the time you reach 40, you do start feeling the lurking presence of the Reaper.

Wow. First Uncle Teddy, now Jimmuh’s top advisor? Thus begins the parade of mysterious deaths and illnesses for all who have stabbed a Clinton in the back in the past year...

God rest Hamilton Jordon's soul.
...said Gerald Rafshoon, who was Carter's chief of communications.
"He was a great strategist. He just couldn't strategize his way out of this," Rafshoon said from his home in Washington.
And God save us from PR flacks who can't even control their silly sound-bite reflex in a time of mourning.

This is spooky - his name crossed my mind this morning for absolutely no good reason and this was well before I had read any newspapers or web sites.

One of the ugliest TIME magazine covers ever. From June of 1977...they should have sued.
To think that TIME and NEWSWEEK were my main sources of news at one time. No Internet. No talk radio. Just lame news magazines and having to wait until 6:30PM to get the news on TV. I can remember those days. Damn, I'm old.

Wow, he was much younger than I thought.
At 63 now that means he was 30 or 31 when he ran Carter’s campaign and a little older when he was a WH Aide.
He was just a kid!
Perhaps the lesson learned is that we should not allow anyone under 45 in the White House as even a staffer.

“..... who helped propel Jimmy Carter to the White House...”
Helped, maybe a little.
But it was the LeftMedia via Watergate, one of their first forays into MAKING the news as opposed to reporting it, that had the biggest impact BY FAR in securing the election for the weak loser Jimmy Carter.

Same here but just a few days ago I thought to myself “I wonder what Hamilton Jordan is doing now.”

“Helped elect Jimmy Carter” has got to be among the worst eulogies a soul could get.

Glad you posted that. I got those two mixed up and had Jody Powell pictured in my head.

Time & Newsweek have private tantrums every day I'm sure when they contemplate what they have squandered and/or what has been taken from them, i.e., the privilege of telling the unwashed masses what to think.
Just be glad we lived to see their demise.
