Betty Ford said things that first ladies just don't say, even today. And 1970s America loved her for it.

According to Mrs. Ford, her young adult children probably had smoked marijuana - and if she were their age, she'd try it, too. She told "60 Minutes" she wouldn't be surprised to learn that her youngest, 18-year-old Susan, was in a sexual relationship (an embarrassed Susan issued a denial).

Well, she’s dead now. Happy?

You want classless? It’s speaking ill of the dead. Even if you hated the woman, in God’s Name, try to be decent in your comments when her family is mourning her passing.

Nobody’s perfect RIP, Betty Ford.

I always thought conservatives were the ones with manners. I guess not.

What disgusting and rude ugliness.

Shame on you both... who are you? The 2
perfect humans in the universe?

May she rest in peace in God’s loving arms.

Eighth Commandment still applies when speaking of the dead.

Now that’s funny, and pretty close to accurate. Almost fell off my chair, and hit my funny bone.
