U.S. Senator Kit Bond today issued the following statement on the passing of former President Gerald Ford:
“Gerald was a kind and decent man who led this nation in a difficult and divisive time. A respected leader in the House, he brought a conciliatory, frank, and open attitude to the White House which gave him the respect of people on both sides of the aisle. He was a wonderful person to know and will always have a warm spot in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Betty Ford and his family.”
Gov. Matt Blunt today announced that all flags at state facilities in Missouri will be flown at half-staff to honor the memory of President Ford.
“President Gerald Ford was a man of solid character,” Blunt said. “He led our country with integrity during a difficult time and for that we should all be grateful.”
The governor’s order to lower flags follows a presidential order to lower flags at all federal facilities. Flags will remain at half-staff for a period of 30 days in accordance with the presidential order.

What did Nixon say when he bumped into Gerald Ford? Pardon me!

Exactly.
If Gerald didn’t pardon Nixon then Richard could be in jail on criminal charges.

The threat of Cheney becoming the second US President never elected is scary enough to forget about impeaching Dubya.
