73. Ford was the last moderate Rethug president, that's for sure.
I have mixed feelings on Jerry Ford. If you ever have a chance, listen to his 1976 Rethug convention speech. I did during a replay of it on C-SPAN in 2004. It will absolutely show that today's Democratic party is the Rethug party of 1976. That's how much things have shifted to the right. Jerry Ford was just about the best that the Rethug party could offer up, especially compared to Raygun and Raisinbrain.
My heart goes out to Betty Ford. A great first lady.
