Kissinger was the most emotional I've ever seen him. This is memorable recounting of a most decent and even bold President. We were blessed to have him when he was needed the most. RIP, Mr. President.

Kissinger eulogy .. MUST READ

[avital2]

the first time i have heard someone in my lifetime called a "lamed-vavnik" - one of the ten righteous people on earth at one time put here by God. quite something for Kissinger to say this.

[Don Corleone]

Ford did for the country what a doctor must do for his patient..."First do no harm".

Sustained by his beloved wife, Betty, and with the children to whom he was devoted, Gerald Ford left the presidency with no regrets, no second-guessing, no obsessive pursuit of his place in history.

A not-so-subtle cut at the impeached one.

Didn't Ford remark that Henry had thin skin?

Thank you for your post and the explanation of Kissinger's comment. It was a wonderful eulogy as were the others. I couldn't stop crying listening to Cheney the other evening. I do have a question - Did Clinton and/or Carter ever speak? I wondered if they had been specifically excluded which I hope is the case.

BTW I was driving the other evening and heard Michael Savage making the most vile remarks about President Ford, i.e. Ford was a totally imcompetent stupid idiot. That man is absolutely revolting; he is the idiot. I would never listen to him intentionally but it would be wonderful if he could be taken off the air.

Thanks for your post; I've been away but will definitely make my contribution ASAP. Happy New Year, Nancy S

It was wonderful and Mr Kissenger was exactly right.
