Nope, the networks are showing local news and such. Local Fox did a long piece on Saddam with a special report from David Lee Miller, which was excellent. Then they showed the nut jobs protesting in Times Square, and then the James Brown funeral, but nothing on Ford yet. So will they squeeze it in between the weather and sports? This is just scandalous!

OK, now they are showing some footage with very respectful remarks. They are promising more coverage later tonight.

As a Michigan grad, I'm getting a kick out of Wallace talking about Michigan football and fight song :)

Promise me one thing. If I am ever elected President and die, make sure Chris Wallace will be nowhere near a TV Camera for any network coverage of my funeral!

I remember when I was little and my parents both voted for JFK. The rest of the family practically disowned them, there were loud arguments (over "cocktails")...and several of them didn't speak for a lllong time. Before she died my mom said JFK would be disowned by the current Democratic party!

The other thing she said OFTEN was.."well..he's the only dem I ever voted for"....LOL.

Kristinn is live at 17th Street at the WWII Memorial.

Reporting there is a pretty good crowd, 2-4 deep in places.

It's cold and the TV lights are blinding.

"It's fitting to pay tribute to President Ford at the WWII Memorial," Kristinn says.

He will try to get pics and post them later, but doesn't feel they will come out due to the flood lights.

Howlin, thanks for the ping - I was proud to have voted for President Ford in 1976. I was devastated when he lost to the peanut farmer, but perhaps if he HAD won, there might not have been a President Reagan.

Oh, dear...what is Greenfield saying??

I bet, since he is their politics guy, he is stressing the dislike the Pres. Ford had for this war, right?? ugh

The media have once again managed to take interviews with a person, and spun them to mean exactly different than they were intended.

I think, if I heard right, they'll be playing the Michigan fight song tonight as he enters the Capitol.
