What will a Lame Duck Bush do?
Just had a scary thought.

When Bush is defeated in November, he'll be a lame duck for 3 months.

What kind of damage will he do during that time?

This man believes that he is entitled by God to clean up the world.

Do you its possible he could "go nuclear" and then "delay" the inauguration because of the "world emergency"?

2. My mother and I
have been fearing that to. Maybe after this time around we should write to congress to see about lowering lame duck laws to 60 days past the last administrations exit. Thats my idea anyways

3. Georgie will cry, then tip over his high chair.
Dick will pick him up, wipe off his face, and say, "Eat your fucking peas."

4. I think he could do a ton of damage between now and January.
Sign a presidential directive starting the draft.

Attack another country.

Pardon all his criminal buddies, including Lay.

Appoint judges during the Summer recess.

7. My guess is a blanket pardon for his whole crime gang
using Ford's pardon of Nixon as a precedent.

We'll have to ship them to the Hague to see any justice.

15. he may not care. People like him tend to be extremely self-destructive
he might be willing to go down in flames himself just out of spite.

This is a concern I've had for months now. I posted on it a while back, something like "what would a mortally wounded Bush be capable of?"

14. Lame Duck
I agree with you,said the same thing to my husband he will go nuclear. I don't think it will because of the election. He can't loose this war.

For some reason, I'd check the silverware and the liquor cabinet.

17. The same thing he's done up until now
screw up the country, anger the Arab world, piss off the leaders of every nation.

LOL, I think he will go "nu-cu-ler" as the Loser.

19. Be afraid, be very afraid
I think Bush and Cheney will be very dangerous men during that time. Cheney because he has so much to lose in terms of power and money; Bush because his twisted psyche will suffer a meltdown at the enormity of the rejection.

20. Expect a load of pardons
He will preemptively pardon every neo-con in his administration, and he will pardon whomever the Plame leaker was - including Cheney.

The problem is that he can't pardon himself. Of course, our silly congress would never go after Bush for his crimes.
