Apparently, former President Gerald Ford's opinion about the Iraq war matters more now that he's dead. Somehow, it amuses me that we suddenly value the relevance of those who've gracefully exited the stage more than when we could more easily refer to them and ask their opinion. No one was exactly beating down Ford's door December 28th. Dying is a great way to give yourself some cred, goose up your career and even impart a gentle sheen of respectability.
I am somewhat loathe to comment on political matters on this blog, but if I'm posting every day, I need more fodder. I'll see what I can do.
