(55,745 posts)48. When Poppy laughed at 'deluded gunman' in reference to JFK assassination, it became obvious.
George Herbert Walker Bush had brought up the assassination of President Kennedy while delivering a eulogy for President Ford. It was a telling moment:

Poppy smirks or laughs or grins at the moment he says "deluded gunman" near the 1:09 mark:
George H.W. Bushs Eulogy for Gerald R. Ford
The New York Times
Published: January 2, 2007
Following is the transcript of the eulogy for former President Gerald R. Ford delivered today by former President George H.W. Bush in Washington, as recorded by The New York Times.
EXCERPT
After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Fords word was always good.
A decade later, when scandal forced a vice president from office, President Nixon turned to the minority leader in the House to stabilize his administration because of Jerry Fords sterling reputation for integrity within the Congress. To political ally and adversary alike, Jerry Fords word was always good.

Also telling is when Gerald Ford said that Warren Commission skeptics presented "no problem."
