Gerald Ford was kind of an asshole

I know he has passed a way and shouldn't be lambasted because of respect for the dead or whatever, but seriously what a giant tool! A new book about off-the-record conversations with Gerald Ford, has come out. In it the author makes it clear that Ford had a problem with Clinton's "skirt chasing" (seriously could he sound like more of an old fuddy-duddy?), and that he viewed him as "soft" on foreign-policy issues. Of all the people to criticize Clinton, a two-term president, who did not involve us in a protracted war in either the Middle East or Southeast Asia (there were troops in Bosnia, but you can't even compare it). Let's take a look at Ford's wonderful executive legacy. He was the 2nd VP of Nixon's because Agnew resigned, for about a year, and then he was president for about 2.5 more. His entire participation in the executive branch of government was less than 1 term. He's the only president to be considered a lame-duck on inauguration day (Im making that up). He lost to a peanut farmer! (I happen to like Carter.) So what was his presidential legacy? Oh that's right.. pardoning flippin' Nixon! What a sack of crap. And the worst part of the article? The last line where he states, "America isn't ready for a Lady President." Lady President? What is this 1950? Female Candidate? That sounds better. He thought Clinton had a sex addiction? He obviously had a stupid addiction and refused to ever get treated for it.
