A bit late, but I found this quote in relation to the topic quite 
interesting and perhaps fitting a not all too uncommon sentiment:

"Mayor Washington's words (..):

    When he says that he would hope that I would have all the good 
qualities of past mayors, there are no good qualities of past mayors to 
be had. None. None. None. None.

    I did not mourn at the bier of the late mayor. I regret anyone 
dying. I have no regrets about him leaving."
