George W. Bush is here now

[whosinpower]

In my home town of Saskatoon, Sask.
According to the media - he drew about 2000 people who bought tickets to hear him speak.
According to the media - he also drew several hundred protesters outside who marched in a peaceful manner and set up outside the venue.

By the way - 2000 is not even close to capacity where he is speaking. I think it is 2000 too many - but I am of the mind that war criminals should not be given a podium. The people who invited him, and organized this should have to pay the security. Right now, my understanding is that we, the canadian taxpayer are paying his security - and it is a very significant cost. $700 000 for Saskatoon alone.

1. Try to touch the hem of his garment!

I hear that if you do that your bank account will fill to overflowing.

[Uncle Joe]

3. I hear you get cooties and soul rot. n/t

[damntexdem]

31. Cookies and soul rot?

Oh, darn, just cooties!

[Uncle Joe]

32. And even those cooties have cooties. n/t

[whosinpower]

11. But the real question is

Your bank account will fill to overflowing with what? Illusions, delusions and vapourcoin. Nothing real. And it certainly won't be money. It will be debt. Your bank account will overflow with debt. I have proof - look to the US' bank account - it is overflowing too....with debt.

24. The garment? The robe with the ermine trim that all the Republcian tv and radio

owners, producers, and hamsters prostrate themselves for - then kiss the ermine or the shoes?

I'm still bitter about that show they put on for 10 years.

29. I think with repubs it more about the hamster's prostate. ;) n/t

27. I guess the Bush era is truly over.

You can't find that picture of him where he looks like he's in the billowy southern belle dress, anymore! :cry:

[Hubert Flottz]

2. America will be paying for his insecurity for generations...

I feel your pain!

[lpbk2713]

4. I hope the SOB pays Canadian taxes on his earnings.

I hope they don't let him get away free as a bird.

[Oregone]

10. He has no obligation to

[Botany]

5. You want to keep him? Bet you we raise millions if he stays there.

What you do w/ him is up to you.

put him on an island in some lake up north ..... :rofl:

[EFerrari]

6. Too bad some nice cop couldn't just arrest him for crimes against humanity.

[MNDemNY]

7. No Backs!!!!!!!

[Botany]

12. We keep Joni Mitchell & Alex Trebek ....

... and our great friends "up north" can have W.

[MNDemNY]

15. If it's a deal killer, they can have Alex.

[Botany]

20. Fine

:rofl:

We get Neil Young & Joni ...... Canada can get back Neil Diamond & Wayne Gretzky too.

[Lucy Goosey]

26. Wait, how did Neil Diamond get into this? He's not even Canadian.

Are you just trying to unload him in a sneaky way? :rofl:

And if we keep Bush, can we also have the Dixie Chicks? That would be a nice balance.

[Botany]

28. Well Neil Diamond "looks" Canadian.

But I loves me some Chix ...... Oh well you can have 'em.

But they have to come and sing to me when I canoe camp up around Atikokan, Ontario.
You might want to check w/ them first if it is O.K. about "the move to Moose Jaw."

[whosinpower]

18. Not good enough

You'll have to take Harper off our hands, keep Celine Dion AND pay us an annual tribute of $1 trillion dollars to keep his mug off your tv screen, and out of your lives.

[Botany]

22. Fine on Dion & Harper but we can only get about $2.5 trillion from ....

.... what Cheney and Rummy stole / made on the Iraq war. BTW you can keep the poutine.

[chelsea0011]

8. So far he is the only ex-Pres with nothing to do. Just like when he was in office.

[thunder rising]

9. Recalling "Full Metal Jacket" as condolences went around the circle the last was...

"Better you than me" :spank: (yeah, I'm bad)

Considering FLOTUS feels uncomfortable with the rogue state of SC ... GWB can't even show his face in the US at all. There is no friendly territory.

:-)

[Oregone]

13. Whats his tour schedule?

Im almost hoping to see him. :)

[zbdent]

14. and probably 1997 of the ticket-"buyers" believe that Chuck Norris' tears

can cure cancer ...

17. Tomorrow Bush is speaking at the Montreal hotel where Lennon & Ono had their bed-in.

Bush to face anti-war protest in spot where Lennon recorded 'Give Peace a Chance'

[robo50]

34. I think a few tens of thousands of American sisters and Brothers

should all drive from NY upstate, VT, NH, ME, and Mass, just to join the protest in Montreal.

That would be fun, and it's going to be a warm day!

[polly7]

19. I thought we didn't allow criminals into this country.

:wtf:

Gross ............ get out of my province and send me a check for the dollars I just paid to keep you safe, barf.

[kjackson227]

23. Feel free to keep him if you'd like :)

[existentialist]

30. Who would pay money to listen to that idiot?

Once he was an idiot in power. Now he is not even that.

[spanone]

33. it makes me ill that this criminal has not only escaped prosecution, but he's cashing in on his crim
