He was an honorable and a decent man. May he RIP.

Just watched the motorcade pause at the WWII memorial. Saw the shot of the EAGLE SCOUTS. The ACLU must be pissing their pants about now. (I love It)

I know...Larry King on Mark Simone's radio show this a.m. said they were BEST friends. I highly doubt that.

I'm watching because he was the President of the United States and we are witnessing history.

I'm sorry...I don't get all the hooplah.

Because President Gerald Ford deserves it.

He was the right man at the right time when we, as a nation, needed his leadership most.

This "hoopla" is proof that America, even if it takes 30 years, can still separate the wheat from the chaff.

He really irritated me when he referred to President Ford as Jerry Ford. I know his name is Jerry, but let's be respectful.

LOL....I was trying not to listen to Larry King. Then Simone had Rich of the NYSlimes on and I just had to clean the litter box so I couldn't hear a word!

it's simply called R-E-S-P-E-C-T, most of the people of this country never met him or any President that has died. Go take a nap or something.
