1. I'd give him a Heimlich and call 911,
Just because he has no respect for human life doesn't mean that I should abandon mine.

2. What about all the lives you'd save if he were gone?

4. I don't think his death would save anybody at this point in time.
I could see letting him die if it would have prevented the mess that we're in, but the situation is going to be pretty much the same for the next president and the democrats whether Bush lives a long life on the Crawford pig farm or suddenly dies of extreme stupidity this afternoon. Watching him die out of spite would make me too much like the people in his administration.

44. No one becomes a MARTYR by choking on a pretzel...
And dragging Cheney out of the shadows and putting him
under that Oval Office public spotlight would REDUCE his power,
not increase it.

3. I'd tell him he was in the last throes of the
choking and I'd help only after all of the troops are home.

10. Tell him
I'm sort of busy trying to put this piece of toilet paper back together - You know, the Constitution.

In my opinion the guy is Hitler - I would not have rushed to save that asshole either.

12. I would explain to him that his opinion on choking was "quaint,"



...and that what he was enduring wasn't technically torture, so he really had nothing to complain about. I would ask him for a little more patience with the struggle, and assure him that good would triumph over evil in the end. I would offer him another pretzel if any of my associates had a financial interest in either the pretzel or choking industries.

Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 02:38 PM by philosophie_en_rose
No. Actually, I'd try to help. I don't like the bastard, but I couldn't watch anyone die.

16. do the Heimlich on him, with a lot of unnecessary force! And I would sell the pretzel on eBay
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 02:47 PM by Lisa
And I would make sure I got video of that, to keep as a delightful souvenir of the occasion. (Because there would be all kinds of rumours going around that "Lisa put her arms around Dubya!", and I would need to be able to explain the context.)

The money from the pretzel sale would be donated to help the families shattered by his overseas wars, and abandonment of New Orleans, and neglect of the 9/11 responders.

30. I'd do the Heimlich - no matter how much I despise someone, I'm not going
to stand by and let him die. However, if it was Ann Coulter and she needed mouth-to-mouth, I'm 95% certain that I'd unavoidably vomit on her...

31. I would perform the most cruel punishment I could think up at the time
which would probably be something along the lines of forcing him to listen to Missy Elliot or something like that.

Only if I had earplugs though, I don't think I could stand to listen to it for as long as it took him to finish choking.

35. I picked "choke to death"
I mean, let's face it. If I try to do the Heimlich maneuver on him, the Secret Service guy will poke his head in at JUST the wrong moment, think I'm trying to kill him, and shoot me dead.

In reality I'd probably be so conflicted on what to do that by the time I did anything it would be too late! :-)

Start punching and kneeing him in the solar plexus.

Or grab a toilet plunger and try to either suck the pretzel out or blast it down into this lungs/stomach.

49. They even spun that episode, do you remember?
They said the reason why he PASSED OUT WHILE CHOKING ON THE PRETZEL AND BANGED HIS HEAD ON THE TABLE is because his resting heart rate was so low due to his EXTREME FITNESS.

Doesn't it just make you wish you could have a president though who could WATCH TELEVISION and EAT PRETZELS simultaneously without CHOKING and PASSING OUT and HEADBUTTING THE TABLE ?
