Gerald Ford dead at 93.

[evkl]

He died earlier today, according to AP. Discuss.

Predictable. Now, who will be the next president to drop? Bush Sr. and Carter are the same age (82).

There isn't really much to say about Ford during his short time in office except that he survived being shot at (I believe it was) twice. Well 93 is a hell of an age to make to it to, though he did have some ailments for years.

To Argy's point: It's tough to say really, since both continue to stay in the spotlight with appearances to some degree. I'd say both of them have a quite a few more years to go.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who can't stop thinking about Dana Carvey as Tom Brokaw on SNL, recording video in case Gerald Ford died while he was on vacation.

No you are not, that was a classic sketch.

I was hoping he'd make it to 100 ;[
