Okay, He Was a Nice Guy!
During the the long state-worship service we call a funeral for a dead president, endless pundits and politicians have commented on what a good guy Jerry Ford was; how he was a wonderful neighbor, and so on. Okay, I buy it. I buy it! As someone once said, it's not the man I disrespect but the office.
I totally agree! The office of the President has power, and Lord Action had a famous saying about power corrupts.
