Funny as Chevy Chase was, Ford wasn't really the klutz he was made out to be. Still, he deserved being the target of SNL's sketches, mainly because it was a way to marginalize the man who pardoned Nixon. He was a good sport. I can think of a lot worse people in this world than Gerald Ford.
NPR's coverage today, both Pam Fessler's radio piece and the web article, are an execellent summary of Ford's life and times.
