That's odd, because I was watching a very important public figure on tv last night saying that he was speaking to Ford with some others about international affairs when Ford was 91 (two years ago) and this figure said that Ford was very detailed with his questions and very closely involved, cogent, and concise in the conversation.
The sick and attention driven Woodward could not wait a week, until after the funeral ceremonies to put this information out.
Woodward has been and always will be a stinking clown.
****
LOL
A lot of people voted for Jimmy Carter because, being a Southern governor, even JIMMY appeared more conservative than Gerald Ford!
The great Party of Moderates, including Nixon, G. Ford, McCain, Guilianna, GWH Bush & son have just about put on end to any pretense of a Conservative Republican Party. IMO...a spineless bunch of political losers who are little better than DemoRat-lite! Thank these posers for giving us Jimmah Carter, Bilbious Clinton and now even a HildeBeast is a possibility...jeez!
Whatever one believes about Woodward's Ford interview, it is believable that Ford would say such a thing...he is & was a squishee Moderate and failed in most areas as a Temp President a lot like GWHB.
He sounds all right on the tape; old, of course, but all right.
And just why the heck is this garbage being heralded by the media? Because it gives them more ammunition. Ford should have just kept his mouth shut. Geez, even the former GOP presidents are doing their level best to criticize the current regime. I thought former presidents were supposed to keep this mouths shut!

You KNOW, being Nixon, he was looking for something..
We NOW KNOW that the democrat party is a wholly criminal enterprise..
But THEN(Nixons time), we only suspected..
I wonder..
Check this out before you pass final judgment on Ford:

Man it appears when you die your opinions become very important. Ford is getting some positive press so the media is just jumping on the bandwagon.
If that is the case then why in the hell is the MSM against reporting a lie?
You mean "again", right?
I heard the audio tape of Ford (his own words)this mornming on MSNBC. It got my attention because yesterday it was reported that Ford had stated that the Bush Administration had done the right thing.
And this morning when I heard the audio tape I had to stop in my steps and go huh.
On July 28, 2004, former president Gerald R. Ford sat down for an interview with The Washington Post's Bob Woodward. The interview was conducted at Ford's Beaver Creek, Colo., house; the former president agreed that his comments could be published any time after his death. Below are audio excerpts from the interview:
LISTEN: Ford says he does not believe the United States should intervene militarily overseas unless it is directly in America's national interests.
LISTEN: Ford says that, based on the facts as he understands them, he does not think that he would have ordered the Iraq war if he had been president.
LISTEN: Ford says he believes that President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld erred in justifying the Iraq war as one aimed at eliminating Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
LISTEN: Ford says that while he never publicly criticized the Bush administration's war in Iraq, he does think they made a mistake in how they justified the war.
A good man on a personal level? I suppose, although it is the height of cowardice to give two such interviews to two different reporters on condition that they not be released until Ford died. In July 2004 when he gave that interview to Woodward, Ford was doing pretty good health-wise. He campaigned lightly for the Bush-Cheney ticket and appeared at the Republican National Convention later that year. In fact, it was during an appearance on Larry King live during the convention, when his speech started to slur slightly, that Ford experienced his first mild stroke. He had to leave the convention earlier than planned, and his health gradually went downhill from there.
Perhaps the strain of being so deceptive, saying one thing in public interviews and another in private ones, took its toll?
Read the article. Ford gave such interviews to two different reporters at two different times.
His body isnt even cold yet, and in true democrat fashion, they are already dancing on his grave.
