Gerald Ford looks pretty good for 91 years old

[LTR]

Currenty on Larry lizard King.

I certainly hope I age that well.

1. kick

:kick:

I hate threads that go nowhere.

2. His secret--he looked so old and tired at 50 that

when he's 90+ not much difference. Go get 'em Ford. I actually feel sorry for him. He's most known for pardoning Nixon, never being elected, and his WIFE's detox centers.

3. I kinda like the guy

Honest, straight-forward. Not sleazy.

Formally ended the Vietnam War.
ERA
pro-choice
Fairly moderate/progressive agenda

I'm surprised the GOP still talks to him.

4. A true political fossil.

There are no more GOPers left like him.

Goes to show you total the right wing takeover of the GOP has been.

6. I liked Betty way better n/t

5. funny thing -- * seems to fall down a lot more than Gerald Ford ever did

Yet Bush manages to avoid getting tagged as a bumbler!

7. He was an athlete

football player. Pretty good shape.

Coordination another matter entirely...

8. probably one of the few Pugs I respect

Pres. Ford was an "old time Republican" and a different breed than Raygun or the Bushinistas. I long since forgave him for pardoning Nixon, but overall he did a good job trying to patch up affairs before leaving office.

9. Imagine telling a 91 year old

that they look bad for their age?

PS -- what would have happened if Reagan beat Ford in 76, and then lost to Carter? Would that have been the last heard of Ronnie?
