too much gush

as i watch the various retrospectives about gerald ford, i keep hoping, just once, that someone will say "i didn't think he was a very good president" or "i don't think the pardon was a good idea." i'll even settle for a "president ford made a mistake with [anything he did in office]."

i realize that no one wants to speak ill of the dead, but does every presidential death have to be a canonization?
