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.

Brokaw was a friend, going back to his correspondent day.

Speaking of louts (brokaw)Brokaw is speaking because the Ford family wanted him to. Browkaw and Ford worked on bringing the WWII memorial to fruition.

My heart is with his widow and his children, that most obviously loved him very much and that tells me more then any reporter ever could.

Oh, so President Bush should not have made any humorous comments during his remarks, either?
