all respect for the dear departed

if the obits are anything to go by, pramod mahajan was a saint, no less.
future PM.
visionary leader.
mourned by the masses.

quick dispassionate Q for my journo friends:
whats wrong with you guys?
i mean, really...
angel of lucre, yes.
a goodwill groucho, yes.
but "the nation mourns a future PM"????

lets get a grip here ppl.
the tragedy is undoubtedly tragic.
but can tragedy turn an amar singh into a rahul gandhi?
