    I find it smarmy that Ford wouldn't say what he believed while he was alive. What a coward.

    OMG-Ford got a "Profile in Courage Award"!!!! What a slap in the face to JFK.

    Ford truly was a coward, I agree. And I reject this whole "padoning to save the country" bs that the right-wing corporate media put out when he died. It was wrong to pardon Nixon and sent the wrong message. For pardoning Nixon, Ford showed he was a moral hypocrite.
