...that President Bush's neocon apologists and spin Agents will shortly begin to tear apart/water down and distort and ignore the late President Ford's words and opinions on the subject of Bush and the Iraq war, perhaps even try to go as far as paint Ford as some kind of a Liberal pawn?
Ford's statements about Bush and the Iraq war and the Nation's direction as World leader were pretty powerful stuff, and one helluva last word.
So, do you predict distortion of Ford's words to follow shortly? Perhaps a nice George Will column to start things off?

Bravo to the usual suspects! You are proving my point nicely.

It surprised me that a staunch conservative ex Republican President came out against the Iraq War. This shows how much support is deteriorating for this war. This, too, will pass over Bush's head.

I expect nothing more than the usual leftist media spin until it wears off. Ohhhhh, Ford seemed to agree with the media-anti-war cabal...big deal. He had an opinion. Like the MSM, Ford didn't have the top secret information which the Administration and the Congress had access to, anyway. From what I remember, Gerald Ford was a "good man", although quite unaccomplished, and unmemorable as a US president.

That was President Ford's opinion, every body's got one. I notice that Bob Woodward did not wait until the body was cold to put this out. What a class guy he is!
Why are the liberals embracing President Ford now that he has passed? While he was in office and even after he left they loved to make him out to be a buffoon. Chevy Chase made his career making fun of Gerald Ford.

Yes, and the corporate media will go right along with it. The media are more concerned with increasing profits than the fact that a former president from the same party as George Bush was opposed to his disastrous preemptive war and his warrantless wiretapping.

When the agenda is OIL no sane argument will deter Bush from his holy crusade

Nothing will happen. There is nothing to distort. Ford is dead. Within a week or so he will be a mere irrelevancy.

who really cares what President Ford said, wasn't it he who pardoned President Nixon which I thought was unpardonable

I don't think we should expect anything. I don't get why people like you make such a big deal out of things like this.
