The really bad part is that the American people just go with it. Its times like these that I really dig the French. As weird and snooty as they are, if the government does something they don't want they riot til they get what they want.

Ford said he had to think a lot about it and what he did, he did for the country not for Nixon. Ford cut his own throat and he knew he did but he did what he thought was right. The country had been through enough. Got to respect that. There isn't a politician alive today with that kind of courage.
