War Criminals A Plenty At Ford Funeral

by Alex on January 2nd, 2007

Today the nation honored the life and presidency of Gerald Ford. People ranging from Tom Brokaw to both Bush’s eulogized the life of Ford with nothing but praise. While not as lavish and monarchy like proceedings as that of Ronald Reagan, it has still been a remembrance comparable to royalty. His body laid in the capital rotunda for days and all US flags will fly half staff for 30 days. This is the tradition for all ex- presidents who pass away, regardless of time served or whether they were ever elected in the first place.

Ford’s funeral was certainly not lacking in the attendance of war criminals. Attendees included George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, among others. Ford set a precedent in his administration by pardoning Richard Nixon from criminal charges. God forbid an American President be subjected to the same laws as other Americans. This precedent will almost certainly continue and rescue George Bush from possible criminal proceedings in the future. Besides, Bush has already proven he is above the law.
