frankye,
You are trying to be logical with these yahoos. They aren't really upset by Mr. Reid's "disrespect" of Mr. Ford. The main reason they are stirring the pot of faux-outrage is to distract from the fact that Mr. Ford is now on record in grave disagreement with the current president's war. They are hoping that if they squeal and howl loud enough about a non-issue like Mr. Reid's non attendance at a state show funeral for Mr. Ford that the substantive news will be overlooked and forgotten. It is a typical neo-con ploy. Don't let it bother you.

Since when does Congress make foreign policy? Oh, since the Consititution was written. You think it is the sole duty of the President? Then why, may I ask, is it the Congress' sole duty to declare war? That's not foreign policy? Why is it Congress' sole duty to control the purse strings of all of government? That doesn't include foreign policy? Did you pay any attention at all in history class or social studies or whatever? Did they teach you anything?

Oh, and one other thing. Mr. Cheney showed up an an international gathering of heads of state honoring victims of the holocaust wearing gear typical of a snow-plow man, that is, a parka al la walmart, a stocking cap with a slogan on it and thick waffle stompers. Everyone else was in warm but somber formal attire. Mr. Cheney there set the standard for US politicians, a very low bar which Mr. Reid has yet to match.

Ah, traditions...well..you know I somehow think that Mr. Ford himself might approve of Mr. Reid eschewing attendance at a state show funeral in order to meet with Latin American leaders, especially as one of them has control of the third or is it fourth largest oil reserves in the world. Oh, but said leader is a leftist that's true. You know somehow that doesn't bother me. I not sure that would have bothered Mr. Ford either. Do you think that would have made him a "liberal?" Just asking.

All honors to which he is entitled? Excuse me, is there some Miss Manners section in the Consitituion that outlines what "honors" are due a deceased ex-president?
