        Please. Just sloppy staff work. Don't look too much into that. I was just pointing it out.

        It set a standard for future gov officials to break the law with little or no repercussions. Bad move.

        He did the right thing, and paid the price for it. I respect him for that.

        Ford didn't really "decide" to pardon Nixon; it was a condition he agreed to when offered VP. You should know this........

        He doomed his reelection chances to do what he thought was right for America. Good man. I think he made the right call.

        What is stunning to me is that the picture of a president who resigned in disgrace is still up a month later.

        Interestingly I heard that one of the Post's journos who broke the story was livid at the time, but now thinks pardon was right move.

        Ford fell on his sword for that crook. I doubt Pence will ever make it to the Oval to issue a pardon. Who will resign 1st? DT or VP?
