Read this only if you want to have a sickening feeling.

I just realized that, no matter what happens during the next 3 years, George W. Bush will still receive a thunderous ovation when he appears at the 2008 Republican convention.

[Bluebear]

1. That's fine.

I consider the source of applause. Millionaires and morons, his only remaining base.

[cwydro]

5. yes.

[Wilms]

2. No. He'll still be in prison. n/t

[begin_within]

12. It'll be a live hookup from Camp Cupcake.

[movonne]

3. Maybe not..If they were smart they would tell him to stay away..

[expatriot]

4. only to the detriment of whoever they nominate at that convention.

Smile. I am sure Rove's successor will find it politically approppo to have Bush speak quietly at a small breakfast for Freepers very far away from the Convention Center and far away from the national cameras.

[cwydro]

9. i truly hope

they disown him...but I don't see it happening...:banghead:

[TahitiNut]

6. That might be when they decide to martyr him.

:shrug: There's no way they can afford to have him running around loose as an 'ex-President' without all the handlers and narcissist supply-sidlers.

[Metta]

7. Not if his scandal troubles increase.

My daily wish is that he and his will see the ill effects of their evil deeds, in my lifetime.

[Flying Dream Blues]

19. I really like that. I'm going to steal it. :)

I can't wish anyone harm, I just can't, as tempting as it is. But your wish I can do, Metta. I think I would also say, see AND suffer the consequences of their evil deeds in my lifetime. Thanks, Metta!!

[Metta]

26. We're all talking just that I'm the mouth.

I think Bob Dylan said that.

[FightingIrish]

8. If he's on a prison furlough will he wear civies or stripes?

[TerdlowSmedley]

10. I'd love to see him adding an orange jumpsuit to his dress-up

wardrobe. Only this would be his REAL uniform.

[Nimrod2005]

11. I will not be watching his stupid ass speech...

But again, I am an optimist - He may have been impeeched and removed by then, and or serving time at Guatnamo.

[femrap]

13. Maybe his liver will have given out by then....n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. No convention applause if * resigns in disgrace. Nixon was radioactive

Nixon was radioactive for years. He never was fully rehabilitated enough to address a convention, despite having won a real landslide for a second term and not the slim faux majority Shrub got.

[indepat]

15. The idolatrous throngs will still chant: four more years, four more years

ignoring all the disasters and wishing he could run again.

[Patsy Stone]

16. Worse. Earlier. This coming January at the SOTU. n/t

[housewolf]

17. Probably, but...

you don't have to watch.

[bluevoter]

18. Lemmings

All of them will be half in the bag

[enid602]

20. convention

Of course, the convention will be at the Motel 6 in Fresno, with Gannon, G. Gordon Liddy and 298 other loons in attencdance. The applause tracts and media coverage should be impressive, though.

[wellstone dem]

21. I thought you said "ovulation"

So now I"m trying to picture that at the convention. I might even watch.

[GalleryGod]

22. We can always call down a rogue airstrike !

:patriot: :nuke: :applause:

[cloud_chaser1]

23. Maybe the applause

will be in recognition of his departure, finally.

[mokawanis]

24. At least he'll finally be gone

Let him have the ovation. I don't care cuz he will finally be gone. And always remember, his legacy will be one of corruption and ineptitude. History will record he lied to get us into an immoral and illegal war.

[xray s]

25. I disagree

Bush will be as welcome at the '08 Republican convention as Nixon was at the '96 convention.

[begin_within]

27. Didn't Nixon die in '94?

[xray s]

29. oops! I meant '76!

duh!

[Kazak]

28. Yes!

Definitely want to tie him to whoever they decide to run!

[Catherine Vincent]

30. Of course they will.

Sheep do what they are told.
