President Ford.

Nothing better illustrates the theme of my December 30th posting, (see below) than the weeklong funeral extravaganza honouring Gerald Ford. To believe the eulogies, he was a giant among men, not the every day polititian that he really was. To be sure, he, along with Jimmy Carter, was perhaps the only decent president in living memory. If he stands as a momument to decency, then it's to the eternal shame of the incumbent.
Jay Leno joked that Ford was the only unelected president, other than Bush.
