Under the bus

Former President Gerald Ford gave an interview embargoed until his death in which he opposed the War in Iraq. Ford's former press secretary, Ron Nessen, decided to be the true conservative and threw Ford under the bus by implying the president was senile. And his own mother.

"When Ford talked to Woodward, he was 91 years old, or 92 years old. My mother is 95. You know, I'm not sure I'd like to see some of her quotes published on the front page of The Post because I don't think she has the same mental acuteness she had when she was younger."
