He served when called and he served with dignity.

Though I myself am an Ann Arbor liberal, bred and raised with the papers to prove it, and President Gerald Ford was a Grand Rapids conservative, and we are natural enemies like the cobra and the mongoose, well, he was a pretty good guy, and a not bad President. He was pro-choice, and he was pro gay rights, and he was the only President to ever say in his State of the Union that the state of the union was not strong (and by that admission, tell the truth). He was the very picture of decency. R.I.P. Gerry Ford. Go with God Mr. President.
