#2 With as fast as Jimmuh is falling off the deep end, I would expect to hear him use the word kike any day now. Probably at the same time he blames the Joos for all the bad press he is getting.

I am now going to call him Jimmuh Goebels.(sp?)

#4 Here is a blurb from the last paragraph from VDH's most recent:
In short, his post-presidency will now be considered as failed as his notorious administration. Note the role of the Greek god Nemesis. As the retired Gerald Ford, who liberals once snickered at as a Golf Course apolitical functionary, went off into the night with grace, his own dignified emeritus career only highlighted Carters foolery.

I couldn't agree more.

#5 I've been reading that Ford was really hurt by his constant portrayal by the MSM as a clumsy oaf when in fact he knew he was the best athlete ever to be President. I'd kill to shoot 15 from my age and Ford did it several times, and golf was his 4th or 5th sport.

I always did figure that rankled.

#6 Shipman: The "clumsiness" was Ford's own fault--he had terrible vision but refused to wear glasses when he should have.

On a lighter note, I think Carter has suddenly realized that he is close to the finish line, too; and he had a "legacy panic", seeing that his legacy was for crap and failure. Unfortunately for him, his book just makes a bad situation worse. Where before many historians would have given him far too much benefit of the doubt, now they will be reminded that he was little more than a mean, cowardly, ineffectual turd, who betrayed millions of people to dictatorial tyrants in five countries.

#9 Geez, don't you remember the pictures of Ford wearing reading glasses? He had some degree of hyperopia, farsightedness, while not a great amount, made it somewhat tricky for him to see the ground at his feet without glasses. Usually people with bifocals have a similar problem. I believe I saw a picture of him wearing reading glasses once, but that would be unrelated.

Ronald Reagan had a stronger case of myopia, which was sneered at by the left, of course.

Well, Jimmuh had 'roids.
