Interesting Ford funeral note. After the state funeral, Ford's body was flown to Grand Rapids for a private burial ceremony. On board the plan accomanying the president's casket was his family.... and President Jimmy Carter.
Carter, it seems, had become a true and genuine friend of President Ford, dispite their "battle" in the 1976 presidential race. Interestingly, President Carter didn't speak at the state funeral. I wonder why. I wonder if he wasn't asked, or if he chose to pay his respects privately... with the family.

"You know what to do at a funeral, right?" - or -
"This surge thing is a really bad idea."
EPM, No, I wasn't aware of a Carter Ford relationship, but it doesn't really surprise me too much.
Look at the Bush Sr./Clinton friendship. I think the bottom line is that all of these guys shared a broad realist understanding even if they somewhat disagreed on policy..
That's why the two idealists Reagan and Bush Jr. are out of the friendship group.

Mike,
What I found interesting was the humility of Carter regarding his friendship. He did not grandstand and make speeches; he quietly mourned with the family.
(you can tell I'm a Carter fan, right :) )

Nothing wrong with being a Carter fan.
And, I think that's more his nature.
