Not at all - Ford was a simple man, a mid-westerner in way over his head, his wife was loony tunes on drugs and alcohol, but he was fundamentally decent.
Rocky was from NY. My ex-FiL had a picture of himself shaking Rocky's hand. He was a tool of the elites in the Northeast and a bit of a snake. Or trouser trout. Whatever.
Think of it - Agnew (my former governor), resigned his gig as VP. Then Nixon resigned. Ford had been appointed by RMN, not elected by anyone outside of Michigan, and had served in the house since dinosaurs roamed the earth.
He selected Nelson as his VP - so if Rocky had become president we would have had a chief executive who had been selected by a guy who had been elected by some congressional district from up in the tundra. Talk about a non-representational government!
That's almost as bad as if we elected a Kenyan commie muslim president - I mean that would be really bad.
She makes a stabbing gesture in that video...
ReplyDeletemuscle memory?
Oh wait, her weapon of choice was a Colt.45 1911
President Rockefeller wishes she had more training on her 1911.
ReplyDeleteThey love the bad boy!
ReplyDeleteI give her credit on going old school with the 1911, but you better know what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was no big fan of Ford, but thank God she did not know what she was doing (because Rocky would have been a disaster).
I agree, Evi. I was just being snarky.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW, RIGHT?!?!
Sixty, I know you did.

I hope whoever it is that created that new persona "fionamcgee" remembers to use lots of sunscreen whenever she's gonna spend time outdoors.
ReplyDeleteThose Irish chicks seem to burn easily.
Chip S. But I hear those Irish chicks put out if you ply them with plenty of whisky. They like to be blotto because then it doesn't count as a sin.
ReplyDeleteTrue in my experience, Evi. But if Fiona's who I think she is, box wine is what it takes.
ReplyDeleteWell, box wine and two bags.
@Chip S: It's funny that "fionamcgee" appeared about 40 minutes after I dropped the song title "Death of Fiona" in that thread.
ReplyDeleteTitus used to do shit like that.
