WASHINGTON Gerald R. Ford leaves his beloved U.S. Capitol for the last time Tuesday as the period set aside for ordinary Americans to say goodbye gives way to an elaborate invitation-only funeral at the awe-inspiring Washington National Cathedral.
As the first order of business Tuesday, Ford's remains were being removed from the Rotunda to lie in repose briefly outside the Senate before leaving the Capitol where Ford served as a congressman for 25 years. As vice president, Ford also had the constitutional title of president of the Senate.

Ironic that he would be sleeping at the funeral for a man whom the MSM would call out for ever closing his eyes in public....

I'd agree, no way, even if I knew what a "fighe" was.
To: JFC
I will comment on that only after the funeral.
To: La Enchiladita
He looks very familiar and I am embarrassed that I don't recognize him.

Betty Ford is shaking her head yes in assent to Kissinger's eulogy.
Believe it or not, people, this service is very good for her and the family. It is the comfort they need.

I didn't know that story about the Russian seaman.

Me too, flaglady47.
I was surprised to hear that this week - Hah! I guess I really was young and dumb during the Ford years - totally missed that they were part of the Ford Admin at the time.
