What will Bush do when the election is called for Kerry?

[Downtown Hound]

Bush will of course go on TV and try and appear gracious, congratulating Kerry. But what will he do behind closed doors? We'll never know for sure, but what do you think? I think he'll be hit with such a blow that he'll never fully recover from it. For the first time, it'll hit him that his presidency was a failure. He failed to stop 9-11. He never caught bin Laden. He never stabilized Iraq. He never created a successful economy. A failure.

I don't think Bush really likes being president. I think he does care a lot abut his image though. He wants to be seen as a tough guy. He wants to succeed where daddy failed. His chances to do those things will be gone forever. So what will he do?

I think he'll flip out. I really do. He'll drink heavily. He'll go into a fit of rage and depression. He may need to be medicated. Possibly even restrained. What do you think?

1. Sputter like Donald Duck

and then go off in a corner to drink.

[arwalden]

2. Booze It Up Baby... Booze It Up!

[TexasSissy]

3. He'll do what he did last time. He got mad and spoke harshly to

Gore on the phone, when Gore told him he wasn't calling to cede, he was calling to personally tell him he's going to ask for a recount. Bush got red in the face and mad as hell!

[Richardo]

10. Bush: "You do what you have to do." Gore: "You don't have to get snippy.."

Real quotes from election night 2000. Such a man. :eyes:

[GingerSnaps]

4. Change his diaper?

:shrug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

5. dunno, but I hope there are TV cameras there to catch it

live!

[FunBobbyMucha]

6. I actually question the gracious concession thing.

I could see this fucker giving the bitterest concession speech ever. Or I could see him revealing his absolute, heretofore silent relief that he won't have to do this job anymore.

[Chimpanzee]

32. You won't have George Bush to kick around anymore? n/t

[nickgutierrez]

7. Bomb Iran. n/t

[Libby2]

8. It would be nice if he would clutch his chest

and fall to the floor and die.

Sorry...it wouldn't bother me one little bit.

15. He is incapable of being gracious.

[LibLover]

17. Well, no tantrum anyhow.

He'll look directly into the camera and grit his teeth.

Is that more like it?

[ladjf]

25. Seriously, I'm a bit concerned that he might go on TV

after Kerry is declared the winner and announce to the American people that the election was fraudulent and that until that could be rectified he would have to continue to serve as President. (Not too likely)

[Misunderestimator]

16. Disgusting.... you should be ashamed of yourself for posting that

no matter who you're talking about.

[LibLover]

18. It's not like we're talking about a PERSON or anything.....

[Misunderestimator]

22. It's EXTREMELY offensive what you posted, no matter whether you think

of Bush or his daughter as PERSONS. Sickening, frankly.

[Tims]

11. How much damage can you do

between now and inauguration day? The preemptive pardons for all members of his cabinet and staff will of course be high on the list. Leaving Iraq in even worse condition than it currently is with what would amount to Bush throwing a tantrum and taking it out on the Iraqi citizens (scorched earth in Fallujah?). If it is a clear win for Kerry, I don't see any real challenges, but that doesn't mean they would go into spin overdrive, implicating 'voting irregularities" in order to keep the faithful foaming at the mouth.

If the senate doesn't swing back to the Democratic side, look for major efforts to be put in place to thwart any Kerry initiatives.

They may concede the election, but they don't plan on giving up an inch of what they have gained the last four years.

[ladjf]

12. File law suits and wait for the Supremes to re-annoint him.

[Polly Glot]

21. Exactly what I expect as well. n/t

[Maiden England]

13. note the state of his gin blossoms when he comes out to speak

eom

[skypilot]

14. The very first thing he will do...

...is kick all the photographers out of the room. We all remember the nasty, petulant expressions on his face at the first debate. Imagine the expressions on his face after a Kerry win. He wouldn't want that preserved for posterity.

[WilliamPitt]

19. Make a phone call

to the President-elect.

[redqueen]

20. He thinks he's on a mission from God.

He'll probably flip out and become a preacher. :crazy:

[Squeech]

24. He'd be great

in Chuck Colson's prison ministry.

[GingerSnaps]

23. He won't be using his ear piece when he takes his fit

I think that he will tell the "50%" of us to go to hell. We all know that there are more than 50% and Dumb W is about to find that out.

[Champion Jack]

26. "What will Bush do when the election is called for Kerry?"

I don't know, but if I was that little dog of his I'd stay out of his way.

[pdx_prog]

27. What's even worse (and sad) is that

Most of the people that are voting for Kerry are actually voting against Bush!

[bif]

28. I'll bet he's a no-show at the Inauguration

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. He'll push the little red button and end the world...

and I'm sure all the republicans will be so happy he did it.

30. Maybe he'll challenge Kerry to a duel?

With Zell as the officiator?

[Downtown Hound]

35. A decorated Vietnam Vet and lifelong hunter

against a draft dodging make believe Texan. My money's on Kerry in that matchup.

[auburngrad82]

31. He'll sit for 7 minutes with a far away look in his eyes.

Then he'll go get drunk.

[pagerbear]

33. The question might be, what will Karl Rove do?

[Rebel_with_a_cause]

34. Take the rest of the week off and write his memoirs.

Last night I had a dream that Bush had achieved an OJ Simpson-like celebrity status after losing the election. That dream probably isn't too far off the mark.

[ThePittsburghKid]

36. He'll do a mountain of cocaine like Pacino at the end of "Scarface"

eom
