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.

"LOL! So is Bela Pelosi. Now that Pelosi will be the "new' House Speaker, I predict "Pop beads" will be all the rage in "lib" circles!"
Funny you should mention that...
On Friday, Leon Rebibo's Pearl Source in Los Angeles unveiled "The Nancy Pelosi" — a replica of her Tahitian pearls. They will sell for $5,999 — a bargain compared with what Rebibo figures the real thing is worth.

Brokaw has no class. To take a cheap shot at President Nixon was an insult to the memory of President Ford. These people have no shame and do not have the decency to keep their meaness and hatred to themselves even during a funeral. How sad for the family.
Oh Miss Marple. I have NEVER voted for a democrat in my life!
And none of those were my remarks. I assume he/she is not feeling well.
Carter should have never been elected. National disgrace.
....and continues to be!
Thanks for sharing your hymnal with me.
Well, I have no idea where you live, but not around here. NOPE!
I grew up in a democrat family. It is a mark of Carter's abysmal performance that I became a Republican. I voted for reagan and never for a democrat since Carter.
Methinks you are in some places using "f" where an "s" should be! ;-)
The pseudo-f being a substitute for a hard s.
Saw a recent interview with Ford and he stated quite strongly that it was unseemly for former president's to be commenting on the present President in office.
"God blesses those people who are humble before him."
Thank you, GoldwaterChick. Maybe you will fare better than I did when speaking your mind against one of our enemies.
Feathered is better than the dull and depressing plain flat hair of the '60s/early '70s that the girls have been rehashing for the last 15 years.
I knew those suckers were real
Then it was a good learning lesson. We can't change the past.
You're right- W always gives comfort- tenderhearted fellow.
This is a lovely service..
I was so mad on the next morning when I heard Carter was elected and shocked at the same time. I used to work with an AF officer from Georgia and knew about Carter and how bad he would be. Robby was right! He never let some people in our office forget and they became one-issue voters again as well.
Words to live by.
