Several news agencies this evening are reporting that former President Gerald Ford died this evening.

I remember him as a calm and honest presence in a time of chaos. He served as Vice President and President without being elected to either position.

And a klutz. :-)

But he did help get the country through a miserable time.

Rest in peace.

Gerald Ford was a moderate Republican who eased tensions and guided the nation through tough times. R.I.P.

President Ford pardoned Nixon, and gave Cheney and Rumsfield their first big opportunities at 1600 Penn. Ave.

I guess I never thought of him as a good president, but that information surely changes that.

To be a good president to a liberal democrat, you have to do the following,
Be politically correct at all times.
Let every third world country on the planet ***** all over you.
Have Lefty Movie Stars visit the White House every week end.
Have sex with them every weekend.
Give The Panama Canal Away
See a flying saucer
Hold Up A Beagle By His Ears
Make believe you love Minority's, gush and fawn when you see one.
Always have minority's standing around you when giving a speech.
Try to look like a cute little boy, (bite your lip)
Bomb a Chinese Embassy
Lie to a grand jury
Steal spoons and dishes when you leave the White House
Kill A Cat
Rape somebody
Pardon all your wifes criminal friends
Masturbate under your desk while you have phone sex.

PRESIDENT FORD WAS ONE OF THE MOST DECENT MEN IN POLITICS.
RIP

Ford was weak and innocuous, but maybe that's what the country needed after Watergate.

I hope President Fords passing doesn't screw up Auntie Pelosi's 3 day Coronation Party.

Democrat Far Lefties will have to lay low for a few days while all these "nice things" are being said about Ford.

In reading his reasoning behind that decision, it was pretty logical. Basically, paying for their mistake gives them no responsibility and they end up repeating their mistake.

Real World

Scout, what was that headline from?

He was on the Warren Commission IIRC. If anything ever got short-shrift(thanks Ollie Stone) it was the Warren Commission.
