The Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, mistakenly offered his condolences to Jimmy Carter’s dead wife shortly after the Democratic former president died on Sunday.
Abbott’s statement sent “prayers and deepest condolences” to former first lady Rosalynn Carter and the rest of her family shortly after her husband’s death at the age of 100, as the Dallas news station WFAA reported. But Rosalynn Carter had died more than a year earlier – on 19 November 2023, at age 96.
Dumb, yes. worthy of ridicule, hell, yes. But it's still the kindest thing which that malignant bag of putrid pus has done in many a year.
ETA: Per Rodney Balko:
To be fair, Rosalynn Carter wasn’t a brown baby killed in a nest of barbed wire Abbott installed at the border. And she wasn’t murdered by a right-wing creep Abbott could pardon in a gross celebration of political violence. So it’s not really fair to expect him to have noticed.

No idea why that's happening, it seems OK to me.
I have watched the things that Abbot has done, and I find him wanting. That is no surprise because most of the governors that I see are far from what normal people would desire. I think of the things that my own governor, the Empress of Lansing, Gretchen Whitmer.
As far as the Carters are concerned, I admired both of them, for their dignity and their unchanging character, when confronted by the swamp.
I consider Jimmy Carter to be one of the worst presidents of the 20th century and likely the best former president of the same time period. He did more for America after he left office than nearly anyone I can think of. But we can't forget his legacy as the president.
Wishing you a great New Year, and contentment with all areas of your life.
