Yah know, I may come off as being very unpatriotic and that is not the case but when I woke up thus morning and heard that President Gerald Ford had died, other than feeling for his family, I was like "so what".

For those flag wavers who are not up on their history. Gerald Ford was the first president never to be elected to the office. Each other President who had gained the office by death of a president had been been later elected at least once.

Now, check this out. Gerald Ford was not even the Vice-President by selection. He gained the office following the resignation of Spiro Agew, the Vice President under Nixon. So, Agnew resigns, Ford moves up, Nixon is forced to step down under the Watergate scandal and Ford moves up again. Kinda like a lucky pawn in a chess game. Ford spent 1973-74 as vice president and 74-77 as president (the books stretch is since inaguration of the 1976 President Elect is sworn in during the month of January).

Ford did not figure out on his own that Nixon was at the helm of the Watergate scandal as had been reported. Post investigation, Chief of Staff Alexander Haig tells Ford that they have a "smoking gun" that Nixon was directly involved in Watergate. The President resigns and what does Ford do when Nixon resigns? He gives him a FULL UNCONDITIONAL Presidential pardon!

Many speculate that the pardon was a part of an undercover deal that stated if Nixon resigned that he would not be charged nor impeached. That would save tax payer money, court time and Nixon's embarassment. Hmm wonder if we should have applied those principles when Clinton was getting head in the oval office. I think that I'd rather spend MY tax dollars prosecuting a president that has breached the electoral process or lied about weapons of mass destruction that resulted in thousands of dead American's versus one who got his dick sucked...but that's just me.

Ford was so popular during his presidency that he was the target of not one but two assassination attempts. One by a member of the Charles Manson family and then seventeen days later, another woman, Sarah Jane Moore, also tried to kill Ford while he was visiting San Francisco, but her attempt was thwarted when bystander Oliver Sipple deflected her shot. One person was injured when Moore fired, and both women were later sentenced to life in prison.

Ford ran for president in the 1976 election against Jimmy Carter. He ran during a climate that the Republicans were being held responsible as a party for the events of the prior couple of years. The Republican's had lost most of their seats during the congressional mid-term elections and it was anticipated that a republican presidential candidate would probably NOT win the presidential seat. Well they were right. Ford was defeated by Carter in the 1976 presidential election. Sorry Gerald.

Now, with all that said. I do not take away from him any of his military or congressional accomplishments. It does appear to me though that the same people who are boo hooing and flag waving about his death are the same people who DIDN'T elect him into office. They are the same people who shook their heads and fingers at him for pardoning Nixon and scrutinized everything he did in his short tenure as president. Now that he's dead, it's all hail the cheif.

If that's not hypocracy......what is?

Oh sure, I think it should be noted, he was a public figure, no matter how he got his job, what he did with it or even if the people wanted him. He still held the title and that in and of itself is worthy of a certain amount of respect.

I admit to this. That said...

I think some people, Presidents included but certainly not limited to them as a group... are lionized enough after their passing that I wonder about "not speaking ill of them" then, but if I couldn't find that much good to say about Ford I did think that I should anyway note his passing.
