This is an extraordinary tribute by Cheney.

The man they just showed...was that John Roberts, or John Thune? It also kinda looked like Rick Santorum. Couldn't tell.

am so thankful that this happened BEFORE "they" took over.

Too bad it'll put a damper on Pelosi's planned 4-day Love Fest.

I'm glad Cheney used the accuracy of "republic" over Steven's use of "democracy."

He's an extraordinary man, but so was Ford.

May have been mentioned, is Pelosi there?

I don't know; however, when Hastert spoke, C-SPAN listed him as "Speaker of the House".

Ok, I'm about to lose it...the Vice President is doing a masterful job. As always.

"For all the wounds that were never opened....we should be in his debt."

Reading artciles this week, I was reminded that it was the "real, true" conservatives who trashed Ford for his pardon; and turned their backs on him.

I have never heard such a fine eulogy as the one that Vice President Cheney just delivered. Never...
