I remember how, during Ford's presidency in the 70's, the late-night comedians ripped Ford apart in their obnoxious routines, I'll never forgive them for that. The country needed healing after Nixon, and the entertainment establishment responded with sarcasm and back-stabbing.
i know a guy who used to work for Ford on the NSC staff. he said that Ford was a terrific athlete, and that he would ski down slopes for hours and the media would watch from afar. The one or two spills he would take on the way down would be the only picture to see the light of day. I hate the media. They're all socialist cowards.
Well it does sort of go with the territory. If I am not mistaken, Ford loved the Chevy Chase "stumblebum" routine on SNL and had the clips played for him at the White House. Best thing a president can do is laugh that kind of stuff off.
