Gerald Ford’s passing leads us, of course, to remember Richard Nixon as well. Which gives us an opportunity — a flimsy opporutnity, to be sure — to remember one of the greatest lines ever in a Presidential Inaugural address. Here’s what Nixon said on Jan. 20, 1969:
“I ask you to join in a high adventure.”
By the way, my New Media Strategies colleague Bill Beutler of Blog P.I. suggests this headline: “Ford To Self: Drop Dead.”
And a footnote: How smart is Bill Beutler? You won’t want to miss the Buffalo News’ coverage of his brilliance.
