Chevy, you couldn't tie Mr. Ford's shoes, even after the excuse wore off about being "a young man and a writer and a liberal".

Wish I could say the same thing about Chevy.

Chevy also went to the Betty Ford clinic.

reinforce a popular image about Ford's clumsiness, even though the president had been a star athlete in college.

Time has a way of telling the truth...

So he's not a liberal anymore? Could have fooled me.

"Chase, 63,"

Makes me feel old.

I thought it was funny at the time, and still do. If Ford had no problem with it, I don't either, politicians have pretty thick skin.

I like Johnny Carsons assessment of Chevy Chase: "Chevy couldn't ad-lib a fart after a boston-baked bean dinner."

Yep, I'm sure Leno will find nice things to say about Pres. Bush when Bush dies, after making constant fun of how dumb the president is. Never mind that Pres. Bush has a degree from Yale and an MBA from Harvard and Leno has none. Nevermind that the most ignorant politicians in the US are Democrats.
In the eyes of the msm, the only good Republican is a dead Republican. Sickening.

"He had never been elected period, so I never felt that he deserved to be there to begin with," the actor said about Ford, who died on Tuesday at age 93. "That was just the way I felt then as a young man and as a writer and a liberal."

Stupid knee-jerk Hollywood liberal.

Who did "deserve" to be there?

As a liberal, I'm sure he was all for Spiro Agnew's resignation, and I'm sure he was all for Nixon's resignation.

So according to his liberal logic, we should have been without a president for about two years, since no one "deserved" to be there.

I just got through viewing the box set of the first season of SNL and was a little stunned how much they raked Ford over the coals on that show. It was done in every episode.

I never liked Chevy Chase. I didn't like him then, I don't like him now.

I think he's an arrogant rhymes with stick.

As a matter of fact, I despise him. I hope somebody beats the crap out of him.

Chevy Chase is a jerk. And that's putting it mildly.

30 years from now, I still won't think Chase was ever funny. Fletch and Vacation (2 movies I liked) would've been just as funny with my dog stumbling over the lines.

I'm glad to know that Chevy has suffered chronic back pain from all his pratfalls.

His karma ran over his dogma, so to speak.

I have to admit that I actually liked Chevy in a few of his movies. I hate when that happens with a lefty Liberal horses butt. As much as I detest Ed Asner, I saw him in a Christmas movie on TV the other night and thought he was wonderful. Yuk, is that me speaking? LOL

It's been awhile, wasn't there some opening to the show where Chase says something like "I'm Chevy Chase and you're not" and then it flashes to Pres. Ford saying "I'm Gerald Ford and you're not" and then goes back to Chase who's speechless?

Chase beat him up pretty badly, I think you would have had to have been asleep not to guess his politics, but at least he wasn't as vocal as that smarmy no-necked not-funny what's his name loser who's on Air-unAmerica.

Slight topic change of direction:

I received a DVD titled "The Best of John Belushi" from Saturday Night Live this Christmas.

I'm 46, so I remember the skits the first time around. In the extras section of the DVD is interviews with surviving cast members and writers. Chevy Chase was one of them. Tried as they could, the ugly truth came out - Belushi was an unstable person and used comedy and drugs to dull the pain of his existence before the drugs finished the job.

Sad to watch.

What witless reporter thought, "Gerald Ford died. I should call Chevy Chase for a quote! That would be, like, clever."

Moronic.
