Minor adjustment.
CNN killed the link...no video working...at least mine isn’t.
Gerald Ford was much older when he had a few slips. Of course we saw them on TV over and over until they were embedded in our minds. I did not even know that Ford was probably the best athlete ever to be President until his funeral. He was an All-American football player at Michigan when they won the national championship. In addition, this typical dummie (/s) Republican was a PhiBetaKappa.
The DBM had power back then with no alternative media to counteract them. At least now we have talk radio and the internet.
I’m just, well, not surprised that this isn’t the lead story today. -or for the next 6 months like it would had this been George Bush or any Republican president. Yet ANOTHER example of screaming hypocracy of the left/media.
DUFUS!
Is he airlifting a pallet of shovels out there to Elkheart Indiana so Joe the RV worker can get right to work earning a govt paycheck by digging ditches?
Got to be “shovel ready”!!!
Pilot — “Even Paris Hilton wouldn’t have done that.”
That’s true....she would have been in the “cock” pit
If THAT’s a Marine pilot (maybe Hussein doesn’t trust the Marines, actually LOATHES them like most libdems, and has replaced his Marine pilot with a loyal civilian turd), he needs a frickin’ haircut!
Slightly? Why if that boy had anything it that head of his it's scrambled now.
Here is more on Ford, the best athlete to sit in the White House.
“Some three decades earlier, he had several brushes with death while serving as a lieutenant commander on the U.S.S. Monterey, which went through most of the major battles in the Pacific and had been threatened by Japanese torpedoes, bombers, and kamikaze pilots.
Actually, it was not the Japanese but a fierce storm that brought him closest to death. During a typhoon that killed several sailors, Ford was thrown off the flight deck. Miraculously, he was saved from drowning by landing on the catwalk, the only thing between him and the dark immensity of the Pacific.[8]
3. Physical presence. Leaders can learn to use their physical presence — that combination of stature, strength, and stride — to political advantage. George Washington did, and so did Gerald Ford. As a young man, he had an opportunity to model and even made the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. Naturally endowed with a strong, well-proportioned body, he stood 6 feet tall and weighed 195 pounds when he entered the Oval Office.[9]
All along the road to the White House, it was what he did with nature’s gifts that made the difference. At the University of Michigan, he became a star football player, determined to become a skilled center on offense and an impact linebacker on defense. In the process he became a leader. The captain of his team during his senior year, Ford was named the Wolverines’ most valuable player. So impressive was his performance week-in and week-out that the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions tried to sign him on. He turned them down, went on to Yale Law School, and paid the bills by coaching football and boxing. Gerald Ford may have been the best athlete ever to reach the White House.
Even in the pressure-cooker of the presidency, he maintained his strength by dedicating a portion of each day to exercise. His daily regimen consisted of fifty pushups and twenty miles on the stationary bicycle — not bad for a man in his sixties.”
Paris: “I THOUGHT this Sun T zu thing was a picture book on new age TANNING!”
What are “henges”?
Can he name the capitals of all 57?
Gerald Ford slips ONCE--and the Press makes him out to be a bumbling bozo forever!!!
Saturday Night Live (Chevy Chase) made fun of Pres Ford daily because of that. Pres Ford was the butt of jokes by the MSM forever.
Of course, the MSM would never, ever do that to Hussein.
