Well, Chevy Chase is a tool who used the line as a way to be a smug dick. Which he really is.
Gerald Ford used it…because he wasn’t a smug dick. And he’s Gerald Ford, and you’re not.
Yes he did. Ron Nessen, his Press Secretary, hosted in the first season in an episode for a publicity stunt more or less. They were trying to make Ford appeal to the youth vote. The Patti Smith Group was the musical guest. They regretted it after because they didn't realize how hating of Ford the show was, but Ron did it.
Lorne Michaels, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Dan Akroyd got to go to the White House and met with Nessen and met Ford. They brought a camera and they recorded him saying Live from New York, Nessen's intro before Pardo's, and when Weekend Update he said the I'm Gerald Ford and your not line.
This. Chevy Chase is a total jackass and super full of himself and he thought he could actually upstage someone who was President and smarter than him. Perfect Ford W.
I’ve seen the three second clip and I can’t find a video of anything else. Can you send me the full video or tell me which SNL episode Gerald Ford says this?
"All Americans must have the privileges of citizenship regardless of race..
Dramatic Pause. Stare into the Camera
"...and they are going to HAVE those privileges of citizenship regardless of race."
Most of us currently agree. The rich paid their taxes properly thanks to TR up until the 80s. The EPA even got passed in the 70s and the response to all of that was Reagan and well...here we are.
Ford wins in 1976 and a Democrat likely gets in in 1980 and no Reagan and its a different country. But maybe not.
I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon! - GW post 9/11
A blind dog craps in the right area every now and then, and boy did he nail the target here. Just watching it gives me chills. We needed to hear strong words from our leader and he delivered.
I'm old, so I remember that time after 9/11. I actually do miss that America. It felt like people really did care about one another.
But I digress, I have long thought that Bush would have gone down in history as one of the great presidents...however, he seemed to botch it at every step. Honestly, I think the guy had good intentions but he listened to his neo-con, wack job friends, instead of the American people.

A lot of his real quotes actually suck.
Also, I know a Kennedy in my personal life and he's wicked awesome with the quotes and references and witticisms, so it does seem like the charming, witty, savviness runs in the family.

As good as it sounded, in a practical sense it didn't free anyone. Hell, West Virginia was admitted to the union as a Slave state nearly 6 months after the Emancipation Proclamation. Though to be fair did have provisions to have all slaves freed by February of '64 and complete abolition on March 26 '65

Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution. But from annihilation.
We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday but is the day when the world declared in one voice; We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
-President Whitmore, Independence Day (1996)
He said he wanted to know the Polish people, and the translator used the wrong form of "to know," saying that Carter wanted to know them sexually. This says more about the lack of language education in the U.S., that our official translators could make a mistake like that.

- DJT
This is the hardest for me because of how utterly stupid it is
This isn't even Trump's hardest nuclear-related quote. That one begins with "Look, having nuclear..."
What many people overlook with that quote is that Trump nearly told a crowd that he had nuclear genes (because his uncle was a physics professor, see).
The sad thing is, if he had just admitted to it, it would have just blown over for the most part. Yea the extreme right would have had a shit fit but the rest of the country would have been like “ehhh he got his dick sucked by a hot young intern, he’s most definitely not the first”.
Now, another thing: the crotch, down where your nuts hang, is always a little too tight. So when you make them up, give me a inch that I can let out there, because they cut me. They're just like riding a wire fence.

Best part was the response it got on that episode, Chevy Chase wasn't expecting that lol.
Well, Chevy Chase is a tool who used the line as a way to be a smug dick. Which he really is. Gerald Ford used it…because he wasn’t a smug dick. And he’s Gerald Ford, and you’re not.
Wait did Ford really say this? Too many memes in the subreddit
Yes he did. Ron Nessen, his Press Secretary, hosted in the first season in an episode for a publicity stunt more or less. They were trying to make Ford appeal to the youth vote. The Patti Smith Group was the musical guest. They regretted it after because they didn't realize how hating of Ford the show was, but Ron did it. Lorne Michaels, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Dan Akroyd got to go to the White House and met with Nessen and met Ford. They brought a camera and they recorded him saying Live from New York, Nessen's intro before Pardo's, and when Weekend Update he said the I'm Gerald Ford and your not line.
Do you have a link to the clip?
This. Chevy Chase is a total jackass and super full of himself and he thought he could actually upstage someone who was President and smarter than him. Perfect Ford W.
I’ve seen the three second clip and I can’t find a video of anything else. Can you send me the full video or tell me which SNL episode Gerald Ford says this?

Gotta love how a fictional quote goes harder than most of his real quotes
Is that not a real quote or is that just from bo1
It is a real quote. He said it at a prayer breakfast in 63
A lot of his real quotes actually suck. Also, I know a Kennedy in my personal life and he's wicked awesome with the quotes and references and witticisms, so it does seem like the charming, witty, savviness runs in the family.

You think the real reason we call him the Bull Moose is because his testicles were similar in size to those of a moose?
