There's more to a Ford

The media is making me want to puke with their elevating Gerald Ford to Master Statesman status -- not as bad as the big circle jerk they did with Reagan, but close. Ford did a terrible thing to the country when he pardoned Nixon. That pardon set the precedent for the President to, effectively, be above and beyond the law. That pardon made George II possible, pure and simple. And it pisses me off.

He may have been a nice guy, but the media is manufacturing this narrative about how he saved the country by pardoning Nixon. Bullshit. He saved the government -- the corrupt bunch of assholes in power. He didn't save the country.

Pisses. Me. Off.
