LEAVE IT TO JIMMY
He stars at the latest Ford funeral, this time in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Taking a page from the "It's All About Me" Clinton handbook, he even managed to slide in self-congratulation for his Camp David deal. Here's an excerpt:
"As president, I relished his sound advice and he often, although I must say, reluctantly, departed from the prevailing opinion of his political party to give me support on some of my most difficult challenges. For many of these, of course, he had helped to lay the foundation, including the Panama Canal treaties, nuclear armaments control with the Soviet Union, normalized diplomatic relations with China and also the Camp David Accords."
In Jimmy's view, I guess Ford was John the Baptist, leading the way for Carter/Jesus (and on the seventh day, Jimmy rested). If Carter really appreciated Gerald Ford's "sound advice", he would have avoided the kind of unbecoming comments often makes, at the expense of the current President. At least Ford had the decency to embargo his critiques until after he passed away.
I do wonder what kind of crowds will adore Jimmy when he's gone. Most likely a majority will be members of the mainstream/dinosaur media.
