It's funny how the guys who played ball on the Warren Commission had long and powerful political careers, isn't it?

In my opinion, Ford was a first class dolt. He was in Washington too long, became quite complacent with being in the permanent congressional minority, and seemed to be quite pleased being invited to be part of a golf foursome with Tip O’Neill and that’s about all he got. There is a reason why Nixon picked him to replace Agnew - Ford was “acceptable” to the Democratic majority.
