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.

I remember bell bottoms and stretch knit tops. SHUUDER!Photographs of people in 70s fashions keep about 97% of us from running for political office lest those photos are leaked to the public.

I was speaking against a third party, yet you come back with a personal low blow to me.
I did not insult you, did I? Is Brokaw a personal friend of yours?

POTUS always says comforting words to the family --- all the Ford family are shaking their heads in agreement.
More proud of his titles, father, grandfather and great grand father.

Bill Clinton licked his fingers........ then wiped both eyes with the spit from his fingers. Talk about a moment caught on tape! Those Clintoons, they are fakers delux!In a few minutes when they start playing and singing the Navy Hymn, Ole Bubba will really have to lick them fingers so as to keep up with the rest of the crowd.

I've never met the man. Is there a reason you're so incensed today? Should the former president have cleared his own choice for a eulogist with you?

"decision to pardon Nixon probably cost him the election" which I have always thought. Hope the President looked direct at Carter when he said it!
