Pardon Me, Mr. President

 

      President Ford passed away.  He was an appointed Vice-president and became President when Nixon resigned.  I was there watching.  I don't remember one important thing he did, except that he pardoned Nixon.

 

      I don't have much to say about Ford.  He probably did the right thing by pardoning Nixon.  I'll bet it saved us all a lot of tax dollars.  I'll also bet that Nixon would have gone to prison for obstruction of justice.  That may have been a good thing.  Maybe all presidents need the fact that they could go to prison hanging over their heads to keep them honest.
