Remember what HW Bush said at Fords Funeral

He limped up to take the mike and made a point of basically saying that all the conspiracy can be put to rest now about JFK's murder . As if he and he alone can close the book .

It was completely out of context with the entire funeral and it still sticks in my mind .

Yeah, that's the ticket Poppy :eyes:

the actual conspirators, had just died.

don't get me started.

Here's his full quote:

Long before he arrived in Washington, Gerald Ford’s word was good. During the three decades of public service that followed his arrival in our nation’s capital, time and again he would step forward and keep his promise even when the dark clouds of political crisis gathered over America.

After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Ford’s word was always good.

A decade later, when scandal forced a vice president from office, President Nixon turned to the minority leader in the House to stabilize his administration because of Jerry Ford’s sterling reputation for integrity within the Congress. To political ally and adversary alike, Jerry Ford’s word was always good.

And, of course, when the lie that was Watergate was finally laid bare, once again we entrusted our future and our hopes to this good man. The very sight of Chief Justice Berger administering the oath of office to our 38th president instantly restored the honor of the Oval Office and helped America begin to turn the page on one of our saddest chapters.

since I work with a couple of docs who were there. I work at UTSW
and used to have to go to Parkland quite a bit. Those docs weren't
convinced of a conspiracy, and I trusted them. That is, until I
heard (with my own ears) GHW Bush say that he didn't know where
he was or what he was doing on the day JFK died. He'd have to be
the only person of a certain age who can say that. Plus,
he was in Dallas that day and wasn't with his family. Now I believe
he was behind it.
