Tough Question: What could * do to redeem himself?

[LostInAnomie]

And you can't say "Nothing".

[CanuckAmok]

1. resign? I'd accept that....for starters

[zann725]

25. My response too!

Kick!

[progmom]

2. throw the crooks in jail

and i am not talking about martha stewart.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Resign immediately, apologize publicly to the families of the soldiers

who were killed or injured in Iraq, apologize publicly to the people of Iraq, donate all his money to veterans' organizations, and turn himself over to the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague for trial.

[Left Is Write]

45. That works for me.

[Droopy]

4. Become an anti-war liberal

[Sannum]

5. Take an extended trip to the Netherlands

In other words...Turn himself in. Admit his crimes, both foreign and domestic and take whatever punishment like a man.

[Seabiscuit]

6. Splatter the tapiocha between his ears all over a wall.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. This is my thought exactly! What a good word tapioca is, also...

It'll NEVER happen, though...

[Seabiscuit]

44. But it is so much fun to picture it in one's mind, eh?

I mean, not real brains splattering, but real tapioca!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Oh, I agree! A lot of fun picturing this! But what a waste of good

tapioca, lol! And maybe, just maybe, that's what he has in there...

[Seabiscuit]

48. And what a waste of a good, clean wall!

Tapioca for brains, green pus for blood. It's beginning to add up.

And if his brains really are tapioca, then it wouldn't be a waste - there'd obviously be a surplus of tapioca, at least until he splattered his on a wall.

[enlightenment]

7. First response -- resign.

Problem is, it's doubtful he's seeking redemption. He doesn't seem to feel he's doing anything wrong; redemption requires (imo) at least some degree of self-inspection.

9. Ensure that no one in his current family, or any of their descendants ever

attempted to attain an office higher than city councilman.

[Seabiscuit]

13. Please - make that dog catcher.

[qnr]

14. My original thought, but wasn't sure they were all elected :) -- wait..

"not being elected" shouldn't be an obstacle to the Bush family.

[expatriot]

10. well here are a few just off the cuff....

1. At some press conferencer or major speech, he starts to cry out crazily, "they put a chip in my brain, people! I am a fucking puppet! Oh god help me!"

2. Be picked up by DC Metro wandering the streets of DC butt naked with blood coming out of his nose and completely drugged up. The cops, being good Democrats... call the media before the Secret Service.

3. Announce a major primetime speech and bill it as the "most urgent and important message the President has ever made to the American people" so EVERY network and cable news is on his face no holds barred.. the nation is on the edge of its seat..... and on air he renounces all faith in the Christian religion, admits to engaging in several acts of sodomy with various members of the Saudi royal family.... admits to having returned to regular cocaine and heroin and said that he worked with the Saudi royal family to coordinate the 911 attacks with bin Laden.

[DebJ]

11. Shave his head, become a monk, and spend the rest of his

life begging God for the forgiveness and mercy that Bush never showed to all those Texas convicts on death row. And pray that God does consider all the evidence, unlike Bush's refusal to consider DNA evidence. On second thought, maybe pray God is willing to overlook some things....

[napi21]

12. Quit like he did every other job he's had!

He's never succeeded at anything he's ever tried. He wither quit, or sold his interest. I wonder if he's ever told Laura,that he really hate this job, and just wants to go home?

[saltpoint]

15. He could offer to eviscerate himself on GOOD MORNING AMERICA. n/t

[Wapsie B]

16. Turn himself, along with Cheney and his entire administration

into the Hague to stand trial before the World Court.

[Fleshdancer]

17. Here's what he can do:

1. build a working time machine

2. go back in working time machine and actually serve in Vietnam

3. go back in working time machine and turn a profit while drilling for oil in Texas

4. go back in working time machine and not be a part of insider trading

5. go back in working time machine and if he STILL was a part of insider trading, tell the truth, go to jail.

6. go back in working time machine and don't run for state Governor

The moral of this story: We need a fucking time machine.

[AntiCoup2K4]

20. Nope. The first use of the time machine would be back to the 1920's

To stop Grandpa Bush from ever financing Hitler. Once that was done, Junior (and even his dad) if they existed at all, would be irrelevant.

[Fleshdancer]

21. well if we're picking ANY time period...

Then certainly I would make sure that Prescott Bush didn't survive. However, we must insure that Barbara Bush had no offspring...unless, of course, you can provide me proof of a positive offspring. (hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[qnr]

22. Um, I don't know if I'd go back that far or do something that drastic.

If we kill Babs, there would be no * to motivate us into building/using a time machine to kill babs, which means we wouldn't kill her, and * would be back.

Or something like that, I'm tired.

[Historic NY]

18. seppuku.....comes to mind.

[Elidor]

30. A second vote for seppuku

[RPM]

50. with a frisbee

[Zuni]

23. Declare how much he loves Tom cruise on Oprah

[yewberry]

24. C'mon. Answer the question. Really.

For me:

Admit that his ideologue puppet masters were wrong re:


--UN Population fund...Um, sorry, they never had anything to do with China's "one-child" policy. So sorry, our $34 mil de-funding really DID cause 2 million unwanted pregnancies, 800,000 induced abortions, 4,700 maternal deaths, and 77,000 infant and child deaths in developing countries.

--"Abstinence-only" programs. They have led to higher STD rates, higher teen pregnancies, and increased divorce rates in "young-marrieds."


--"Clean Water Act/ Clean Air Act." We liked that, dumbasses.

--PATRIOT ACT--Passed in a moment of fear. No, sir, you shouldn't have access to my library, book-buying, and ISP records without notification or a warrant. No indeed.

There is more.

Jeepers, I have more to say, but I'm too pooped. I really have to get to bed.

[ObaMania]

26. Turn himself in to the authorities. n/t

28. quit and retire.

and never talk to anyone ever again
and never donate any money to anyone
and never work
and keep his nose out of everyone's business

and he'd have to say he was sorry for it all...ALL THE BULLSHIT.

[ET Awful]

31. Resign and apologize personally to the families of each and every person

whose death was caused (directly or indirectly) by his lies and deceit. He should also be required to donate all of his personal wealth (whether it consists of corporate holdings, cash accounts, personal property, etc.) in an amount which leaves him living at the same level as those millions who are forced to live without health insurance because they can not afford it or it is not provided by their employers.

The apologies alone should keep him busy and out of trouble for several years.

[arwalden]

33. Seppuku!!

[BlueIris]

34. Why can't I post "nothing"?

There's nothing he can do to redeem what was lost when Al Gore was denied the presidency. That was the most painful revelation I had during the campaign days--just, after I got home at the end of the last phone call I could make before the polls closed, it hit me: It can never be redeemed. The environmental destruction can't be undone; the dead don't come back to life. We can spend the rest of our lives (which may not be all that long a stretch of time) trying to fix this mess, and if the planet holds out, perhaps some day, life will be good for all.

Here's what he could do for starters--he wants to be a real Christian, a real man, a real leader, a real President? He could ADMIT WHAT HE'S DONE, NAME THE NAMES OF HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS, ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, OFFER AN APOLOGY AND ALLOW THE PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY WILL WITH THEM ALL. Yeah, I know what that could lead to, especially if we can't decide, Liberals and Republicans, what should be done. But at least it would be out in the open and be sort of fair...that's all I got.

[all.of.me]

36. i don't think he can ever redeem himself, BUT!

he could be a decent human being and resign.

then again, i read a post yesterday about what a sociopath he is, because he does not recognize the difference between right and wrong, nor can he admit to mistakes, so for him to resign would be an admission of something being terribly wrong, which he does not believe. so i don't think a voluntary resignation is possible. it's just what i would like to see.

[AlienGirl]

37. Admit he's in over his head, resign,

and throw himself on the mercy of the court in the Hague.

Of course, it's not *me* he will have to redeem himself to. It's some kid from Fallujah. Someday, in the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, they are going to have one hell of a talk.

Tucker

[iconoclastic cat]

38. Publicly confess.

[MrScorpio]

39. Resign and take cheney with him

Let Hastert fall flat on his face.

We need a few laughs

[Hugin]

40. Work for true Election Reform...

I do mean the whole gambut... Paper ballots, verified, counted...

No vote suppression. Anyone who messes with elections sent to
prison for treason, similar to a counterfeiter.

and, oh yeah, turn over Karl.

[Orsino]

41. Resign, show honest remorse for his crimes...

...and devote his life and fortune to trying to undo a hundredth of the damage done in his name. This would include opposing the evil agenda of his former evil viceroy, who would be President Evil Cheney. It would include apologies and reparations made to the families of veterans, to women, to gays and ethnic minorities. It would include efforts to undo his environmental policies.

It would sorta snowball. He'd have to have a staff to catalogue all the evil--good thing he married a librarian.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

42. Go to Iraq as a Marine Infantry officer... no guards

no press, no fanfare

Just a week.

[Zorro]

43. Eat a pretzel

[Lars39]

46. Allow himself to be sentenced at The Hague.

[RPM]

49. FOAD

that would be enough - just to have it all over would be soooooo wonderful.

[Sanity Claws]

51. Admit he's a puppet,

start naming the puppetmasters, and list all the illegal, undemocratic things that he knows the puppetmasters have done.
