Can you imagine W's life after his presidency?

[Erika]

After he has ship-wrecked this country? He'll hide in his bunker and with the protection of SS agents.

That will be his legacy along with the bushbots who supported him.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

1. At least he'll be in Paraguay, and out of our lives.

Let him rot in his neo-nazi compound with all the other castoffs. Fuck 'em all.

[AshevilleGuy]

5. I wonder if the Secret Service would be obligated to protect him in Paraguay?

Perhaps he can hire the sons of ex-nazis there for that purpose.

But he should remember that Adolf Eichman was captured in Argentina and delivered to justice!!

[Raksha]

19. If the Secret Service won't protect him, there's always Blackwater. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

29. Blackwater will probably BE the secret service before too long..n/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

49. To think our taxes will pay for his protection for the rest of his life...grr. ..n/t

[liberal renegade]

63. And his big fat government pension

he so richly deserves......:sarcasm:

[Cobalt-60]

6. Perhaps some tribesmen will pay them a visit

Then we can keep their shrunken heads on the receptionist's desk at the Dubya library.
(regrettably unlikely in Paraguay, I'm afraid.)

[Supersedeas]

33. a taxshelter in Paraguay, sipping wine coolies, and not a care in the world

then the occasion award to be receive from some Rightwing group as the Greatest Leader in Human History (so long as the Right Wing revisionists tell it)

[Pastiche423]

76. Josef Mengele lived in Paraguay

W/such karmic vibes, El Mono should live there as well, never allowed to step foot on American soil again.

Personally, I believe he should live in a 9' x 6' cell 23 hours/day. The other hour he should be forced to watch tee vee while people from around the world talk of his failure, sadism, stupidity and warmongering.

[grasswire]

2. people are already taking numbers to pee on his grave

....however, he will have to be buried in an unmarked grave somewhere. Ignominy will follow him and his name will be famous in the way that Hitler's is.

[Hardrada]

7. That is most certainly true!

[Bozita]

10. A urinal will be placed above his grave ... for sanitary purposes

[Olney Blue]

71. Donations are being taken for buying the appropriate urinals....

for this great man of faith.

[mountainvue]

82. I'd actually donate money to that cause. n/t

[devilgrrl]

3. His legacy will be abyssmal...

as for him? He won't care, he'll just go play golf for the rest of time.

[Erika]

4. He'll play golf in private clubs with SS men.

He'll know infamy.

[opihimoimoi]

12. When he finally finds out what most Americans REALLY think of him....he will go bonkers

Bullies cannot handle TRUTH and REALITY.....Bullies live in a Fantasy World...W has been isolated/protected/sheilded too long...this man hates anything critical of him...No one wants to bring BAD NEWS to a TYRANT...they tend to blame the Messenger and you know what that means...Death of a Career.....

Someday...the man will discover what we all know...he ain't shit.....

[Swamp Rat]

17. Yes, he will become 'bouncing off the rubber walls' insane

[opihimoimoi]

24. BUSH THE NOSE MINER....lol....I couldn't help meselph

That ole picture of him at a baseball game nose mining had me in stitches....I wonder if he smells them goobers./....or eats them even??? Bwagagahahahahaha

[LongTomH]

38. "Become" bouncing off the rubber walls insane?

Excuse me, he'll become "bouncing off the rubber walls" insane? What do you call what he is now, pray tell?:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

52. mildly psycho

:D

[opihimoimoi]

84. Love that STIHL....18inch blade and 3.3 HP// able to cut trees and human limbs

Bushies saw is in storage...the SS took it away from him...he is too dangerous running the damn thing...too dangerous to the SS who help him in the Photo Ops..they even took away his machette....he is reduced to carrying away the tiny branches in those Photo op thingys when he rests at the pig farm....

[Virginia Dare]

30. True, he can't even show his face at a fucking baseball game..

it will be a sad and pathetic existence, much like Nixon's was.

[opihimoimoi]

39. They will BOO him everywhere...even at the Flea Market....

[Cabcere]

40. Exactly.

I remember hearing about how his aides were terrified of interrupting Little Lord Pissypants' vacation to tell him about Hurricane Katrina, because they knew he'd throw a temper tantrum and take it out on whoever brought the news. :puke: He's a childish bully.

[Virginia Dare]

50. Ironically that ended up being the true downfall of his Presidency..

the emporer truly had no clothes after that. The 20% or so of the people who had voted for him, however weren't frothing at the mouth Repiggy's, but still stood by him because of 9/11, washed their hands of him at that point.

[dysfunctional press]

36. he and oj can spend lots of time on the links.

nt

[liberal renegade]

64. he can double up with O.J Simpson

seeing how they have both gotten away with murder...........

[namvet73]

8. If not the most dangerous, certainly the silliest pres.

Bush Refuses To Set Timetable For Withdrawal Of Head From White House Banister
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/bush_refuses_to_set_timetable_for

He needs time for development of his frontal lobe, which usually happens in the teens.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe

[jobycom]

9. I'm hoping it is similar to Hussein's after his, thought without the death penalty

And that's only because I'm morally opposed. I'd like to see him brought straight from his hidey-hole in the White House to a small prison cell, and spend the rest of his failed existence in a small cell on trial for his life. Sentence him to die, then commute the sentence to life. Then I hope he lives to 128.

I'll find amusement in hearing how the twins never come to see him, just as he abandoned them when they most needed him as a father.

[Lisa]

75. I could also do without seeing pics of him in his underwear

I'm with you, jobycom -- I don't support the death penalty. And besides, for someone with Bush's ego, it would almost be worse punishment to see people (especially former supporters and even associates) mocking his "legacy" and pushing him into the memory hole of history -- with his only claim to fame being the "worst president ever". He has always been convinced that people have "misunderestimated" him -- and it would be a sore blow for him to finally realize that those "underestimates" were, in the end, rather generous. That's why I too am hoping that he breaks the human longevity record, and retains all his marbles, so he can fully understand what he has done. (Well, what marbles he has to his name, anyway.)

[LiberalHeart]

11. He'll be lonely when Laura and the dogs leave him.

Can SS agents turn down an assignment without resigning?

[Prophet 451]

13. Hopefully

With any luck, Bush's life after the presidency will be mostly spent in various prisons on charges ranging from war crimes to corruption.

[SusanaMontana41]

31. We have the same wish

I want Bush to live a long life and die in prison. Right next to Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, Gonzo, Rove and all the other traitors in this maladministration.

[mwb970]

85. I am amazed at what a terrible group of people this administration contains.

The ones you named, plus Miers, Hughes, Libby, Feith, Goodling - the list of crooks, liars, and just plain bad actors just goes on and on and on. What a sad crew of losers. I can hardly believe this tragedy has happened to America.

As an aside, why are so many of these awful people from Texas?

[SusanaMontana41]

88. I have no idea

My best friend lives just outside of Houston, so it's not Texans, per se. Maybe wherever Bush goes, he attracts the worst and the dimmest?

[Neoma]

14. Are you that sure he would have a life outside his presidency?

[Old and In the Way]

15. History won't be kind to him.

No way he can expunge his pResidency like his AWOL record or DWI convictions. No one to grab all of the videotapes and documentation that will be digitally available to everyone for the generations to come. He will be ridiculed for his inability to string 3 words together and marveled for his complete incompetence. His Pet Goat moment will be the defining Apex of his sorry selected pResidency.

[calimary]

16. He'll be forced to remain pretty much under house arrest as he is now.

Nixon couldn't venture out anywhere except the sanitized, ultra-protected, closed locales like military bases and airport tarmacs - where the public couldn't reach him. He'll be a bird in a golden cage down in Paraguay, unable to travel because few other countries will welcome him, and very likely, he'll risk arrest if he sets foot in some of them because he'll be wanted for war crimes. However, I'm sure the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institute and the Heritage Foundation and Focus on the Pharisees will keep him in speaker fees forever.

I hope he lives long enough to see what historians will make of his "legacy." I hope he lives long enough to see everything he "stood for" and believed in and pushed on the rest of America overturned, undone, dismantled, and deep-sixed. I hope he lives long enough to see the reagan, bush 41 AND his own presidential papers released to the public - with all the vile shit they contain - no longer hidden and subject to prosecution. I hope he lives long enough to see his brother jebbie and every other potential bush political jobseeker turned into the pariahs they deserve to be. I hope he lives long enough to see the "good name" of the family bush trashed FOREVER, as though it were its own Mark of Cain.

[Hekate]

23. Couldn't have said it better myself, Calimary. Except the speeches.Not sure anyone will ever...

...want to hear what he has to say again, considering that without his cloak of office he just sounds like a stumblebum.

Future historians will wonder what on earth the American people could have been thinking. I hope they record that an awful lot of us were trying to stop him and his cronies, trying as though the planet, our nation, and our lives depended on it.

Hekate

[calimary]

48. Thanks - but there are sufficient numbers of neoCON patsies and

others still in DEEP denial who would willingly break their piggy banks open to see their precious latter-day messiah speak, get their picture taken with him, and MAYBE, if they're very lucky, receive one of those adorable little down-home-Texas cutie-pie personally-designated nicknames from him. Then I'm sure these deluded faithful will feel truly blessed. :eyes:

Yes, they still exist. As astounding and nonsensical as it seems. I don't know how the hell anybody could be "enamored" of him at this late date. I find him utterly revolting, myself. But there still are those who cling to their belief that he's been somehow anointed by God to carry out the crusade of the Lord against the heathens in the Middle East.

I'm also certain that there are those who cling to that belief because they simply must save face at all costs at this point. To change their minds, to come in out of the cold and the rain, would be admitting they were wrong, that they were fooled, conned, snookered, played for chumps, and sold the biggest lemon on the used car lot. A lemon which they eagerly bought without looking under the hood or reading the fine print in the contract. NOBODY wants to admit they've been played for fools like that. NOBODY wants to admit they've been had. NOBODY wants to admit they were wrong. Pride, you know. They'll stand by their delusions (against their own better judgment and uncomfortably nagging consciences, and probably also - the shaking heads of some of their friends who have begun to question their sanity and good judgment) the entire time the ship is sinking, insisting they weren't waltzed down the garden path by bush and all his nice little friends.

If you can just remain resolute, somehow it'll all turn out alright, yanno? Somehow things will just magically turn around and suddenly fortune and good poll numbers will come back. Besides, they can't possibly fail OR be wrong, because GAWD is on their side, see?

I will NEVER forget, as long as I live, the story a former AP brother told me about a vacation he and his wife took back to the Bible Belt where he grew up, to see old friends and family. My pal was, and is, thoroughly enlightened, mind you. And he stood there shaking his head in disbelief as he related this to me. He ran into an old buddy in, I think, Texas, and inevitably, the talk turned to politics. When my friend started bemoaning how horrible bush has been for the country, this other fellow reacted with the most eyepopping shock and revulsion! "You CAN'T criticize bush!!! You just CAN'T!!! Don't you know???? He's JESUS!!!! You CAN'T talk about him like that!!!" My friend said this guy was absolutely stone-cold serious, too. REALLY, ARDENTLY, down to his bone marrow, believed this shit.

Unbelievable. UNBELIEVABLE. But my friend wouldn't make this shit up. And I'd believe it, anyway, because there ARE deeply-afflicted mindsets out there that just absolutely REFUSE to listen to reason, much less to permit themselves to be dispossessed of their delusions. Pride, yanno. They know what they know, and that's simply IT. They don't want to hear anything different that might shake 'em outta their trees...

Sad, isn't it? THAT is what we have to deal with. People like that, and their crazy-ass attitudes and belief systems, will STILL be around long after bush is no longer darkening America's door. They'll just be looking for another messiah who - maybe - will get it right all the way next time. (Shudder...)

[Lisa]

77. total repudiation!

Well-said, calimary. I keep fantasizing that one day, on a rare walk outside of his "bubble", he overhears the casual conversation of ordinary Americans -- good ol' boy "red-staters" bashing their thumbs with hammers and yelling "son of a Bush!", and drunken frat guys trying on Halloween masks of "Idiot George" just as he did for "Tricky Dick" when he was one of them. Shamefaced drivers at the scenes of accidents apologizing to people they've collided with: "My bad, I just did a Dubya!". His darling daughters becoming fervent Democrats (well, it happened with a couple of Reagan's kids!). His entire country merrily going off on a happier, saner, safer path, arm-in-arm with the rest of the world, leaving his cherished "ideals" in the ditch!

[Raksha]

18. I can't really imagine it...I don't know a lot about Paraguay! n/t

[AshevilleGuy]

21. A landlocked grassland. For years after WWII, their

president was an Alfredo Stroessner, who was I think an ex-nazi and a good friend of the Perons. His is not exactly a Spanish name. I'm sure Junior will be happy there - at first.

[Bridget Burke]

37. No, Stroessner was born in Paraguay, to a German father.

But he became one of our typical neo-Fascist South American allies. As long as the people who "disappeared" were Communists, the USA didn't care.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Stroessner

Peron was an interesting case. Yes, Stroessner sheltered him during one of his exiles. And Peron allowed old Nazis to "retire" in Argentina. But Peron wasn't a full-blown fascist--many of his followers were workers & tended to the left. The "Generals" who disappeared so many in Argentina were anti-Peronists.

[AshevilleGuy]

70. What amazes me the most about 'people' like that is

that they apparently couldn't have cared less about the Holocaust. Maybe this is supreme naivete on my part, but I can't fathom it.

[Bridget Burke]

86. Well, his father left Germany long before Hitler....

Any normal person should "care" about the Holocaust--but his family had nothing to do with it.

[jmowreader]

20. There are two "lives" Shrub could lead

There's the life he probably will lead--sequestered on his private compound, unloved, unwanted. The huge speaker's fees prominent Repukes usually command won't come his way for three reasons--no one will pay to attend one of his speeches, he actually has no ideas of his own and he's very difficult to listen to.

And there's the life we WANT Shrub to lead, which involves banging his tin cup against the bars of his cell.

[sam sarrha]

22. maybe he can get an Executioner's job in Paraguay to maintain his killing habit..152 in TX, 650,000

in Iraq..

[liberal renegade]

65. and I bet he'd to it for free.....

[catmandu57]

25. I haven't really thought that much about this, other than the desire

to have him gone and in the world court for war crimes. When we are finally rid of this stain I'm hoping that he doesn't just go away somewhere and live a quiet life, I want repayment for the sewage he's drug us through.
History, I know will not be kind, to him or us, future historians are going to look at us like wtf were these people thinking.
I'm so fucking weary of this, I hope it ends soon, one way or another. Hopefully with him in prison.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

26. He'll still have his main job as junior capo of a major white collar crime ring.

People will still be trading favors with him and lining each others' pockets. W will hardly notice the change of venue.

[Virginia Dare]

32. Nah, I think Jeb has that job covered...

I'm not sure Poppy will ever trust him with anything again.

[Kali]

34. Much as I wish differently, I am afraid you are correct.

[spanone]

27. he'll be lauded with billions of dollars and book deals out the wazoo from his prison cell.

[JHB]

28. Imagine iron bars...

n/t

[shimmergal]

35. Imagine him falling into

and drowning in a pool of thick oil.

Going glug, glug, glug . . .

[whosinpower]

41. My own wish

Is that the rest of his miserable life, is spent behind bars. He is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He is a war mongerer, liar and war criminal. I have nothing but contempt for the man, and the thought that he would be able to live his life albeit in a golden cage sickens me to the core.

In fact, try him for war crimes, high treason and hang him. That is what he deserves. That standard by which Saddam Hussien was tried, convicted and hung should be the exact same standard that is used against Bush. Karma comes full circle.

Never forget - Bush started this Iraq war under false pretenses. And no amount of sugar coating it, or saying that Iraq is the central front on the war on terror, or that Al quaida made it so--is the full truth. Once again Bush blames others for HIS DECISIONS. Bush made Iraq what it is today. His policies, his smiling cohorts, and his money loving oilmen.

None of it was necessary. None of it was vital to the national security of the United States. He chose. Nobody held a gun to his head and forced him. He chose. And now, arrogently and bullheadedly, he ignores the mistakes HE MADE....blames others, shifts responsibilities in an ever swinging door as people come and go.

Oops....rant off now.

[mentalsolstice]

42. SS will only protect him for 10 years

Clinton is the last president to have lifetime SS protection. So for the 10 years the * has it, he'd better use it to find one helluva place to hide once his protection ends...just sayin', life will get interesting for him after that!

[Virginia Dare]

51. He'll likely drink himself to death before then..

I think his family will probably let him too, cold hearted bastards that they are.

[mentalsolstice]

81. Or he'll just have to hang out with Poppy

...and hope that Poppy lives 'til he's 130 y.o.

[Vinca]

43. Has anyone accepted his miserable library (for the Little Golden Books)? nt

[Ganja Ninja]

44. He'll become a tabloid star.

I can hardly wait to see his life implode.

[Jack Rabbit]

45. We're putting him in for membership in the Home for Retired Neoconservatives

United Nations Prison, The Hague

[cascadiance]

62. That scene was my first thought too!

[bdamomma]

46. he won't be around here, unless he gets committed to prison

where he belongs.

[jazzjunkysue]

47. Only the slimiest of businessmen and GOP hopefulls will have him around.

He'll be the leper of the GOP.

And there are more and more accounts of Laura's divorce in the grocery store tabloids these days. WOn't be much fun to hang around when they're hiding in crawford.

and she thought he was boring IN the white house!

[MiniMe]

53. Solitary Confinement?

[ComerPerro]

54. like most greedy, rich assholes, he will retire to private life

with his billions of dollars, still worshipped by BushBots until everything in the country has been named after him or Reagan.

As for Bush himself? Probably be kept by his handlers out of the public eye so he can hide on his ranch and do all the cociane and drinking he cares to.

[SoCalDem]

55. He'll lead a "normal" post-presidency life

He will have SS protection for life, will receive daily briefings like his daddy did, so he'll be free to meddle for the rest of his days.

He'll putter around in his library...maybe he'll spend his time dusting off the book :)

Our press loves to "repair" reputations after time..Look at Reagan.. Nixon..Ford..Carter

The press was much nicer to them after they left office ..

Barring a freaky fish-hook accident, *² will be in our faces for many years to come

[Lisa]

79. don't rule out the freaky fish-hook thing ...

We're talking about a guy who's crazy enough to stand up in a small boat, on a windy day, with a running chainsaw.


"A 10-acre man-made pond built and stocked with 5,000 bass has also been designed around the oak trees, and one oak sits at the tip of a little peninsula. The view looks like a national park, and Bush, the grounds keeper in chief, leaves no detail unsmoothed. He tells of how irked he was by a dead tree's breaking the water's surface, how he took off in his bass-fishing boat, a gift from his uncle William T. Bush, wielding a chainsaw. "I was out there in Uncle Buck's bass-fishing buggy, and the wind was blowing from the north, and I was standing there, nearly got blown over," he remembers. The mission was unsuccessful."
http://www.time.com/time/poy2000/mag/ranch.html

Given that men stay in the reproductive age bracket a lot longer than women do, Dubya has plenty of time to qualify for an honorary "Darwin Award".


p.s. love the "book" comment -- though correct me if I'm wrong, but don't comics come with those protective plastic sleeves anyway?

[ronnykmarshall]

56. Not much for him to do.

Laura will divorce his ass after getting a big hunk o' money to shut up.

Unlike other ex-presidents, no one (other than Freepers) will pay him one cent to speak.

He'll sell the 'ranch' and move to Houston or Dallas or Kennebunkport and won't have to play cowboy anymore.

President (insert democrats name here) will be "too busy" to attend the opening of the GW Bush presidential library.

No artist will agree to paint his official portrait for the White House.

Jenna and Barbara join a punk band and write songs about what an asshole their father is. Laura helps them produce their first CD with her divorce settlement.

Poopy and Bar throw him out of the house for pissing in the kitchen sink.

[DefenseLawyer]

57. I think he will be really happy actually

He is a vapid moron. He won't give a second thought to his "legacy". He'll just go back to being a stupid rich guy, playing golf, getting liquored up and making bad jokes for his equally vapid suck-up rich guy buddies to laugh at.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

58. Yeah.

He'll never have to be sober again. And he won't be.

"Now watch this drive!"

Funniest guy in the world . . .

[philosophie_en_rose]

67. I agree. He won't give a shit about a legacy.

In his mind, he'll have a wonderful legacy fighting terrah. :eyes:

He takes after his mother and won't waste his beautiful "mind" on reality or suffering.

[CANDO]

59. He'll be a hot ticket on the speaking circuit-----------NOT!

Who the hell in their right mind would fork over a couple mil for this idiot to mangle the english language?

[and-justice-for-all]

60. Yeah..its called PRISON.

[Solly Mack]

61. He'll be just as unbothered by it all as he is now

The man doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks of him and he'll live the rest of his privileged life not worrying a bit what anyone in America (or anywhere else) thinks of him.

Unless he is held accountable...but since that won't happen, Bush will be just as he is now. Not the least bit bothered by the death and destruction he has caused.

Don't anyone kid themselves. We ain't even on his radar of concerns.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

66. Reading Highlights for Children?

[Vidar]

68. Perhaps it's not to late to revive the Odessa organization.

[dave123williams]

69. Hopefully he'll be spending a lot of time in the Hague.

[Retrograde]

72. It won't be in Texas, that's for sure

I predict he'll quietly sell the "ranch" about 6 months after leaving office and go home to Kennebunkport to hide.

Maine, a grateful nation thanks you for your sacrifice, and feels your pain.

[npincus]

73. he will be shunned.

[KG]

he'll go back to being a drunken lout.

[KG]

74. he'll go back to being a drunken lout.

[JerseygirlCT]

78. I was just thinking, all joking aside, I hope he ends this

presidency a much-chastened man. Deeply aware of his faults, and ready to work toward restitution.




Yeah, ok, ain't going to happen.

He'll happily retire, and won't pay a second's more attention to any of the mess he's made, other than to make lots of speeches, and rack up the big bucks to bolster his presidential library and attempt to whitewash the horrendous historical record that will be his presidency.

[SJames]

80. Looks like it might be fun !!!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

83. Pickles will file divorce papers one minute after the next pres. takes office

* will be trotted around from fund raiser to fund raiser until he stops producing income for the RNC. Then he'll be faced with the brutal fact that, unlike Presidents Clinton and Carter, no one will give a shit about what he has to say.

Revision of history will begin immediately to turn * into the greatest president of all time.

Without a purpose or his handlers to watch over him, * will revert to form and become a drunken loser.

[cassiepriam]

87. He will have a great life. Vastly wealthy, adored by the wingnuts.

And still surrounded by a protective bubble.
And drinking and doing drugs to deal with anything
that might trouble him.
