Bush and Ford Pardoning in California

Bush visits former President Ford in California | Reuters.com:
"RANCHO MIRAGE, California (Reuters) - President George W. Bush paid a courtesy call on former President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty at their California home on Sunday.

Bush kissed Mrs. Ford on the cheek and took the former president's arms they walked into the house
. . ."
Ain't that sweet. And that explains this. . .

"Last week, Ford came to the defense of his former Pentagon chief, who is Bush's current defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.

In a letter, Ford said he was "extremely troubled" that a handful of retired generals were demanding Rumsfeld's resignation. Bush has robustly supported Rumsfeld. . ."

Maybe Herr Chimp was looking for pardoning advice. He certainly has a long, long list to choose from.
