Jerry Ford's last laugh

January 6, 2007 Posted by Scott at 1:41 PM

Chevy Chase deserves some kind of award for self-deprecating humor. In his New York Times op-ed column today he writes:

Luckily for me, Mr. Ford had a sense of humor.

I’ve often thought how odd it was that we became linked together. It’s not like we had a lot in common. After all, Mr. Ford had never been helped for any problems with “self-medication” in a facility that has helped so many throughout these past decades. And he had never been castigated by the press for such atrocities as “Oh! Heavenly Dog” or “Cops and Robbersons,” among other slightly awful films I had made in Hollywood.

It's a funny and moving column. (Courtesy of K-Lo's hot picks at NRO's Corner.)
