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 fought cancer a third of his life. That’s pretty tough.
“who helped propel Jimmy Carter to the White House “
First Teddy and now this guy. Who will be the third? Osama?
May he rest in peace! He earned it. Amen.
I remember those days well. How are the mighty fallen.
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...
...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.

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.
“Helped elect Jimmy Carter” has got to be among the worst eulogies a soul could get.
May he RIP.
He seemed like a decent guy, but then, politics seemed much less vicious back then. I wish comfort for his family.

RIP. Long time to be fighting cancer.
Never have so many Freepers been forced to bite their tongues so much in a single day.
That Rafshoon. Always with the ha ha.
We will long remember this as The Day of Bleeding Tongues.
Never have so many Freepers been forced to bite their tongues so much in a single day, to keep from saying the first thing that comes to mind.
