If Helen Thomas thinks this administration is too 'conservative' and 'neocon', one more to my taste wold send her screaming round the bend!

Don't often agree with Helen but I see nothing in this article I disagree with.

In terms of friendly relations with the media, Ford ranked high............


Who cares?

As for politics, Republicans seeking the presidency in 2008 would do well to tear a page out of Ford's playbook: Move to the middle and stay away from the far right.

Think this toad-like wart bomb would EVER say something like this to Pelosi, or Reid, or any Dumbocrat presidential candidate?

I wonder what she thought and wrote about Ford at the time he was in office...

More praise from the leftwing for the Rockefeller Republican, Gerald Ford. Why am I not surprised. Ford was nothing more then a caretaker President at best. He should have stepped aside and allowed Reagan to take on the peanut farmer. America would have been spared four years of the incompetent Jimmah Cahter.

The only Republicans the leftist media like are the ineffective ones, doomed to fail in their election bids.

I guess the conclusion from this article, and from the leftist adoption of Ronald Reagan after his death, is that the only good Republican is a dead Republican.

Sorry, Helen. I remember how the media viewed and treated Ford while in office. All of you pilloried him and wrote about this bumbling second-rate halfwit football player as though he'd sprouted from a cornfield just that day in 1972.

~And the Ford kids came in for a drubbing, too, especially Susan if I remember the name correctly.

This article isn't nearly as nice as her recollection of Lincoln.

Thanks for telling us how to lose an election Helen.

Humor and moderation.

Two things Helen Thomas does not have.

...in other words, "The only good Republican, is a dead Republican (be they liberal, moderate, conservative or any-shade-in-between)."
