ok, that's what msnbc just reported on tv. who knows if it's true. i can't find any corroboration on it yet.
i just wanted to be the one to get a 'breaking' diary on kos.
upon edit: cbs corroborates, text after the jump:
stay tuned to see ford lionized into a great republican statesman by the mighty wurlitzer.
i will keep checking google & etc. to find out more. check back intermittantly, if i can misspell a word and still use it correctly.
addendum: cbs/asspress:
gerald r. ford, who picked up the pieces of richard nixon's scandal-shattered white house as the 38th and only unelected president in america's history, has died, his wife said. he was 93.
details on his death tuesday were not immediately available.
ford had been fitted in august at the mayo clinic with an implantable cardiac pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat after he had been admitted to a colorado clini days earlier for tests.
