Where Can I Find The Text of 43's Eulogy He Delivered Yesterday For Ford?....
I heard just the first part of it and found it kind of interesting in that * cited Ford's military service - * cited Ford's fighting for his country, etc.

I was laughing to myself that if someone had to deliver a eulogy for * that they would have to say something like:

"When the country needed him during our challenge in Viet Nam, George W. Bush's father got him out of having to serve in Viet Nam and got him into the Texas Air National Guard - where while his fellow peers were dying in the jungles of Viet Nam - George was living it up - drinking and carrousing. He ultimately went AWOL from the guard."

I didn't hear the rest of *'s eulogy - but thought that it might be funny to take the text of *'s eulogy for Ford and create a fictious eulogy for * using somewhat the same tone - but with the truth about *'s life, service and record as pResident.

Ford was a football player in college. * was a cheerleader.

Ford pardoned a criminal when he took office. * needed a pardon.

etc, etc, etc.

I did read somewhere that * might have a problem finding a journalist like Brokaw to say a few nice words about him. Then I got to thinking that they would have to find a 'faux journalist' - like a Rush, Hannity or even a Snow to speak for *. Certainly 'Stretch' would be called.

2. All the more reason to impeach that piece of shit
to make sure he doesn't get a state funeral with eulogies full of lies and unearned adorations.

3. It's a riot to read that because Ford is Bush's opposite.
He was born into a family of privilege with an uncaring mother and father. He faced the civil rights movement drunk under a table and fought against all forms of affirmative action rights as President. When his nation needed him in a time of war he went AWOL. Just what will the eulogy of Bush look like? And who will give it with a straight face?
