Watching President Ford's state funeral on CNN right now.
My heart sank a little when they showed Mrs. Ford and his family. State funerals always give me chicken skin.Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted

Re: Former President Gerald Ford dead at 93.
Really really sad. Pres. Bush 43 was a no-show for Pres. Ford's funeral (his excuse: "he was cutting cedar and riding his mountain bike at his ranch in TX") and many Congressional leaders were no-shows. Just because he happened to be a President (and Vice President) who was never elected to his positions doesn't mean he didn't deserve to be honored for his service to his country anyway.
I wonder if the reason why Pres. Bush didn't attend the funeral was because of the postmortem disclosure by Bob Woodward that Pres. Ford didn't agree with Bush's Iraq foreign policy? If it was, it just shows the kind of vindictiveness that has plagued this White House Administration since day 1.

Re: Former President Gerald Ford dead at 93.
Son Jack and daughter Susan were both on hand to greet and thank the constant stream of mourners personally. His funeral will be carried live on KITV tomorrow.Presiding clergy will include the pastor of the former president's California church, the Rev. Robert Certain, who will deliver the homily. Eulogizing Ford will be President George W. Bush, former President Bush, Henry Kissinger and Tom Brokaw. Deniece Graves will sing the Lord's Prayer.

Originally posted by joshuatree View PostA majority of politicians flaked on the funeral too. Definitely the holiday schedule had to do with it.
Actually, Cheney sounded very sincere at the service. He worked for Ford, if I recall.

Re: Former President Gerald Ford dead at 93.
Where is President Carter, I haven't heard one soundbyte or appearence from him. I hope he shows for the actual burial Wednesday in Michigan.
Does anyone know the actual Hawaii times of the funerals in Washington and Grand Rapids as I'd like to roll tape.
I think I have every Presidential funeral from Truman to present on tape except for Hoover's.

I thought it was touching how the Michigan football team wore stickers that read 48/BO on their helmets to remember the late president/UM alum and legendary Coach Bo.Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
