From the BBC article:

"With his quiet integrity, commonsense and kind instincts, President Ford helped heal our land and restore public confidence in the presidency," Mr Bush said.

Poetry.

Fox doesn't do breaking news well.

Somebody breaks wind and it's breaking news on Fox.

Oh, by the way, cool handle. I have fond memories of that game. I wasted a lot of time in high school playing it.

I had to change to CNN.

Did you just catch that HUGE screw-up on CNN? TWICE in one paragraph they spelled "Nancy Reagan" as "Nancy REGAN."

If he had only served two terms, then have two terms with Pres. Reagan, then I wonder how things would have been today..........just a thought.

I also heard them say on Foxnews that Dick Cheney was Ford's Chief of Staff, so I was putting 2+2 together!

he was a very good man, and honorable. i think we will not see the likes of him for a good while.
God comfort his family, and receive his soul into your rest, his works will follow him.

>For the younger freepers:<

People forget President Ford was actually Nixon's 2nd Vice President. The first was Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland:
