kind of an Orwellian rewrite of history going on with his death, when I think of Ford I think of Chevy Chase's imitation of a bumbling dope...rewrite saying his pardon of Nixon was good! and his fuck you to a bankrupt NYC was good! if I'm not mistaken, he was on the Warren Commission and helped cover up JFK's assassination. Also, he had Cheney, Bush Sr. and Rummy working for him. Bush Jr was still bankrupting private companies at that time.
Such an irony to me, Ford was a football player and Bush Jr was a male cheerleader.

In addition to the "gruesome twosome" of Rumsfeld and Cheney, Ford also propelled George H. W. Bush into the world of future chicanery when he named the former Texas congressman, UN ambassador, envoy to Beijing, and Republican National Committee chair as CIA Director. Bush, who only served as director for one year managed to involve the agency in a number of terrorist attacks, a direct slap at those who were trying to curb the excesses of the CIA under the Nixon administration, including outgoing director William Colby. Bush approved CIA assistance in the illegal car bombing assassination of former Chilean Foreign Minister Orlando Letelier and his American colleague, Ronni Moffitt, on a Washington, DC street in the heart of Embassy Row. Under Ford, Bush also approved the bombing of a Cubana Airlines passenger plane off the coast of Barbados that killed over 70 men, women, and children.
