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.

It would be better if he was just snoring like last time.

Sigh. Please don't look for insults where none were given.

Brokaw is doing OK..
I'm more focused on Lynn Cheney, who seems very restrained and keeping her emotions in check.
I'd love to know what she is really thinking. God help certain people when she is free to speak her mind again..

Brokaw prominently attended the premiere of Michael Moore's Fahrenhate 911, and praised it.
I don't cut him ANY slack.
To: SandyInSeattle
Brokaw is doing well, but imagine what the drive-byers remarks would be had it been Brit Hume up there giving a eulogy.
To: SandyInSeattle
Yes, he's doing a great job. He's made Betty smile twice that I've seen which is a good thing.

Brokaw doesn't belong on the stage, IMHO. President Ford requested it .. they were his wishes

The 70's were really, really, really bad! It really is a miracle we survived them.
