On DU they said Steve Ford pushed Cheney out of the way to escort Mrs Ford to the casket ...anyone see anything like that?

Well....I bet Larry King has heard from someone about that by now...

I am shocked that he said that about Cheney and Rummy. I am not shocked that he had nice things to say about Pres. Ford...

The left has decided that HE is okay, NOW.

I am sure they didn't feel that way when he was POTUS though.

He was snowed in out in New Mexico. Hope he's back soon. I am still secretly praying that Dick Cheney will run for president. He rocks my world.

The media's motto:

"The only good Republican is a dead Republican."

Hard to believe! He praises Ford and has to praise his administration but sees that these same people are now in President Bush's administration and trashes them.

I just don't get it! I give up!

Nothing that was said about President Ford cannot be said in spades about our beloved President Bush.

Further, the first President Bush was a gentleman through and through. He never insulted, attacked or denigrated his adversaries.

The rotten apple in D.C. was slick willie yet he's revered.

The media wanted to destroy Ford for giving Nixon a pardon.

To this day they hate that he didn't allow them to string Nixon up on the gallows.

I watched the ceremony in the Rotunda on FNC and my eyes watered. It was one of the moments of national dignity.

Now for a couple of my personal Ford memories. I was 12 years old when he was tapped by Nixon and I'd never heard of him, perhaps because I have neither lived or set foot in Michigan. (blush). The day he took office, I was with my father, and he was playing tennis (I was just hanging out at the court) and at 12 noon we paused and listened to the inaugural on his transistor radio. Then, a month later, my dad and I were driving around Chadds Ford, PA when we heard Ford pardon Nixon on the radio. My mother, with whom I lived (my folks were several years divorced by 1974) voted for Ford in 1976, the last presidential election where I was too young to vote.

Jerry, you're in a better place now. I look forward to seeing you. Thank you for healing the nation.
