Gerald Ford poised to be the oldest former president ever at the senseless age of 93 (And 121 days)

Hope he doesn't die before Sunday... otherwise this thread will be an even bigger waste of time. But yeah, on Sunday, if he doesn't die at the senseless age of 93 before then, he will pass Ronald Reagan as the oldest living former president in the US.

I laughed at the pic in the link. You'd think they could have found a better pic than that...

These threads are absolutely nothing but neffing. Hopefully the OP will expire before Former President Ford.

I think a little leniency is lent for a long-standing tradition.

'Senseless' 93? I'm lost on that one.

Note: Ford (original birth name: Leslie Lynch King, Jr.) was never elected to be President. He was appointed by Nixon as a replacement for Spiro Agnew as Vice-President,
then transitioned to President when Nixon resigned. Ford later chose Nelson Rockefeller as his own replacement for Vice-President.
Nelson Rockefeller served without significant power (1974-77), until he was dropped from the 1976 GOP national ticket by President
Gerald Ford and retired. He died on January 26, 1979 from a fatal heart attack and was cremated.

And Jack Palance died yesterday at the senseless age of 87.
