1. Yup.

I remember hearing it at the time. But nothing much was ever made of it. :shrug:

And Gerald Ford was not his original name. His parents divorced and his stepfather adopted him. :-)

3. Imagine if he was called "President King".

Gerald R. Ford = Leslie Lynch King, Jr.

4. I actually never thought of that... :D

I remember thinking that he wouldn't have gotten so far in politics if his name was "Leslie..." :hide:

2. Yes, and when she faced substance abuse, was lucky enough to find a Betty Ford Center.

Honestly, I always really liked her. The only GOP wife ever without that tight ass GOP look on her face.
