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's trapped. He can't say anything too good about Ford's presidency..so he's reduced to talking about fashion.

Music is magnificent. God bless Betty Ford, she is so frail. I don't think it will be much longer before she and her Jerry are together once again. May their dance in heaven be eternally joyous. I found these photos so incredibly touching. Tears.I think you are so right. She has that look.
She wants to go and be with her husband. Sorry to say, I hope she goes (when she wishes).

Oh gee, now he's pontificating just to hear his own "resonant tones."
These people have no gravitas.
How nice of Brokaw to slip in a political shot at both Nixon and Bush 43...

Brokaw admits that one of the things the press liked was Vail at Christmas and Palm Springs at Easter. At last, some honesty.
To: James Ewell Brown Stuart
I think he is doing well, too. Some people can't get past their personal feelings.

I may be in the minority. I think Brokaw is doing a fine job. I agree. He's doing well.

They are not going to speak here. Carter is supposed to speak in Michigan, or so I hear. President Bush should be next.

OR did he lick his fingers to apply FAKE tears to his eyes?
Yes!!! That is just what he did. Apply fake tears to both eyes from spit from his mouth!
