That was a while ago, but I had mixed reactions to it. In one

sense, he was right, in that it would have been a quagmire for

the US to go through the criminal hearings. More recently we

got a taste of that, lampooned by Schwartz's video

(the second one is 's video.)

Well back to Ford, he said that he granted the pardon for the

stated reasons, and we have no way of knowing whether that was

true. That leaves a disagreement as to whether the decision was

wrong or right. What did happen is that Nixon was out of

politics, couldn't move into NYC, and settled in Bergen County

instead. Ford didn't just lose the election, he lost to Jimmy

(who decided " WIN " wasn't stupid enough, and went on with

his " Crisis in Confidence " speech, essentially blaming the

economy on Americans who didn't pray enough.)

Yes,

one guy recently summed up Ford's life by saying his biggest downfall was

that he was such a nice guy, maybe too nice.
