Yeah, it's kind of sad that coverage and tribute to his dimise were somewhat overshadowed by Saddam's execution - which was obviously considered more 'newsworthy' by the global media.
Ford was mocked for his clumsiness while in office...he was always tripping over himself or others But...he was one of the most honest and nicest Presidents ever...and like DNW said...it's too bad he was over-shadowed buy both Saddam and James Brown.
