Without rancor or naming names, VP Cheney lets the Demoncrats and their stooges in the media have it between the eyes.

No "I"'s in this euology. Absolutely close to one of the best pieces I have read on FR. Cheney and Ford are and were two very classy individuals.

VP Cheney is simply magnificent in the manner he paid tribute to Pres. Reagan and now Pres. Ford. His portrayal of how Pres. Ford selflessly did the right thing for the sake of the country by pardoning Nixon is so beautiful. Pointing out that he did so at the cost of losing his own chance at election shows great leadership. Ford was a moderate and not a revolutionary. But, he was a man of impeccable character and held the country together through a very rough time. Thanks Mr. Cheney for putting history in its proper perspective. I am sure some people in the Rotunda tonight were a bit uncomfortable to hear it so simply and correctly.

As I would expect, Mr. Cheney's words are incredibly eloquent and supremely uplifting. May God bless this man too as He has blessed Mr. Ford.

He was modest and manful; there was confidence and courage in his bearing. In judgment, he was sober and serious, unafraid of decisions, calm and steady by nature, always the still point in the turning wheel. He assumed power without assuming airs; he knew how to treat people. He answered courtesy with courtesy; he answered discourtesy with courtesy.What a magnificient eulogy. It describes President Ford perfectly, but the above quote could also describe President George W. Bush, who himself has had to bear the furies of those who are always working against him in this country, and around the world.

Can we all be happy that Republican funerals don't turn into political rallies like Democrat ones do?

I wasn't able to watch this live last night, but I saw it on the rerun at about 5:00 AM this morning. Thank you, Mr. Vice President for a beautiful and moving eulogy for President Ford.
In a year when most elected Congressional Republicans have been a complete disgrace, you've made me proud, once again, to be a lifelong Republican.
