Bush Will Be Hated in His Old Age

[SoDesuKa]

Bush won't get to retire like normal folks. He'll be so hated he'll be unable to travel, and he'll have to watch the door even when he stays home. He'll be as despised as Augusto Pinochet.

He's really not going to get away with the massive fraud that the war is. The problem he now faces is that he can't win the war; he can only hope that it drags out long enough that a Democrat will take the blame for losing it. Even that won't save him. He's going to catch hell from right, left and center.

Hoover was hated. Nixon was hated. Both of them knew they were hated. The press pitied Nixon and played up the "rehabilitation" aspect of his story. But Johnson didn't live long enough to face the hatred he had coming to him because of the Vietnam War.

It says in the Beatitudes that the righteous will have the last laugh. Bush won't get away with his bullshit. When he's old, he won't have anybody jollying him along. He will be universally scorned.

1. I don't think he'll be seeing an "old age."

Puppets are too dangerous when released from their strings and handlers.

[Stirk]

2. Ha. No, I think he'll be just fine.

He'll plant himself in some very posh community full of people who adore him. Lots of people like Tom Delay. They'll golf alot, and do alot of fishing from boats they bought with their stolen money. They'll make jokes about sweat shops, if the subject ever comes up. But it won't.

He won't be able to travel to foreign contries, of course- but why should he care? The idiot never had a desire to do that anyway.

He'll be hated by the general public- that's true enough. But he won't be mixing with the general public. Strictly "have's and have-more's" for Georgie.

3. He is hated now... you know, evil murderous thief, et al....

I have posted more than once that he will immediately leave my country and relocate to his country of Saudi Aribia...

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. They will probably lay a serious fatwa on his and his families ass

He will live out the rest of his miserable life in the constant fear of being snuffed.

5. If I had my way, he'd be in prison some years from now

for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

[cry baby]

6. Condi will still love him...

:loveya:

:puke:

7. He's already got that planned out...

Fort Hood is just a stone's throw away from Crawford, Texas. I guess they'll protect him.

edit: spelling

11. I'll go alittle black helicopter...

and suggest that the brass at Ft. Hood have contigency plans to circle the ranch with an heavy armour if needed.

8. Hoover was hated as an ex-president?

Hoover and Nixon both survived long enough to become "elder statesmen", divorced from the follies of their presidencies. While I think Bush won't manage this becuase of his overall sloth, especially intellectual sloth, as well as his extremist goals, I think he'll still have plenty of friends in Texas and throughtout the "g-d and Mammon" crowd. He's hosted the biggest pig-trough feeding frenzy of their lives, they love the guy.

Unlike his victims, he'll never have want of sustinence or even riches, and he'll always have an army of Fristians stroking his g-d-like ego (although I'm open to any comments regarding the humility of God with or without use of the Incarnation as example).

9. Gore Vidal said something

similar on Politically Incorrect or one of those shows. But Hoover was hated too, and he lived into his 90's in comfort.

[mirandapriestly]

10. Or,like Reagan

he will start to "lose it" not long after his pResidency ends. I know Reagan was older, but I always thought his forgetfulness was awfully convenient.

12. History will not be kind to the entire Bush family.

That is if we survive the BFEE.

13. He's ALREADY Hated In Middle Age...

Last I checked a good half of america, and most of the world...ALREADY hates him....

[shraby]

14. He'll probably become the butt of jokes to

his dying day...Nixon was.

[mermaid]

16. He Already Is

and will continue so.

Reminds me of an old George Carlin bit where he said something to the effect of: "gotta keep it inside, can't let it out, gotta hold it all in..." And followed it up with: "Nixon is a perfect symbol for this country, the guy looks like he hasn't taken a shit in a month!"

Or the other famous Carlin bit: "there was a guy once, in Washington, knew that his phone was tapped, so he used to answer it 'Fuck Hoover...yes, hello, go ahead...'"

Nixon and Hoover both were hated and ridiculed...and Bush will be, too.

I know, I have been a stand-up comic for ten years...strictly as an avocation, of course...never considered myself funny enough, or well-connected enough to even try making a career of it. OTOH, much as I loved Bill Clinton, politically...as a comic...I worshipped the quicksand the man walked on!

Must admit that Clinton, too, will be the butt of jokes for a long time to come, maybe even to his dying day. And not entirely undeservingly so, if you really think about it...of course, divorcing yourself, for just a moment, from your love of Clinton politics...and just focus in on Clinton himself.

Hell, I have always been able to take a joke as well as I could dish it out, and so, I am able to laugh at Clinton jokes, too.

Then again, I am also quite capable of making myself the butt of my own joke, and have done it plenty of times in my stand-up routine. If that is what it takes to get a laugh, I'm happy to oblige...don't bug me one bit.

15. *

Hoover was somewhat able to rehabilitate himself by (albeit somewhat late) instituting public works, and Nixon is seen by some as an erstwhile intelligent and able politician who tragically suffered from mental illness at the height of his power. I don't think we'll be able to be so kind to *. His policies are so deliberate, so ill-conceived and so poorly executed that we won't be able to distance ourselves from them (especially Iraq) unless we thoroughly denounce their author.

17. That's definitley a nice thought

for all he's done to this country.
