Will Bush base his civilian life out of Crawford?

[Stephanie]

I can't really see it. The whole place is just a Potemkin "ranch" built as a stage set for the 2000 campaign. I can't really see him wheeling and dealing from there when he proceeds to cash in on his presidency.

Will Bush live in Crawford, or will he head someplace else?

[Wickerman]

1. It has a wet bar, doesn't it?

he'll be just fine there.

[Kierkegaard]

2. I say Elba would be a good place to live out his retirement.

[Robeson]

33. Better yet, how about St. Helena

[Gyre]

39. Hey! St. Helena, CA

is definitely NOT interested in having that trash move in!

Gyre

[Robeson]

44. Don't worry, we're shipping him to the one in the...

...middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The good thing about it, is that its a British Colony, so he and Tony Blair will have all the time in the world to chum around together! :-)

[Melodybe]

3. Maybe he'll move back to Connecticut

[crispini]

4. Ranch will be sold by March.

Can't really see him living in Podunk, TX. It was a nice prop though.

[Warpy]

21. Exactly, sold for a huge profit, preferably to the taxpayers

for his "library," housing "The Hungry Caterpillar" and all the papers his bunch generated, kept guarded and locked away from they prying eyes of future historians. They'll be kept because they'll provide grounds for blackmail should any of the inner circle grow enough of a conscience to talk.

Bush will likely inhabit the watering holes outside Dallas and Houston that kept him occupied before his daddy bought him the presidency, telling everybody else what a big shot he used to be.

[benburch]

5. Fort Levenworth

I hear they have nice weather in the winter... :)

[luaneryder]

6. Where ever he goes

he'll never be far enough away.

[Lilli]

7. No ranch....maybe the state he gets the most votes in?

;)

[elperromagico]

14. Will he move to Utah, then? n/t

[ismnotwasm]

8. A Federal prison would be appropriate

Not likely, but one can always dream

[Roland99]

9. He needs to base it in a Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison for 10-20 yrs

[bushwakker]

10. Gilley's Bar and Grill

He'll be dealing blow out of the men's room.

[The Jacobin]

11. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

:dunce:

[HawkerHurricane]

12. No

Someplace in New England, I'm betting. Around Boston, with the 'old money' elite that hates him. Then he'll move somewhere else in 5 years.

[elperromagico]

13. Nah. He bought the ranch for his Presidential run.

He'll sell it when he's out of office - probably move to Maine to be near his daddy...

[pinkpops]

15. Hopefully he'll donate his duds to a cowboy museum and

head out of Texas.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. The world should give Mr. Bush a retirement home

The Palace of Peace
The Hague
Home of the International Criminal Court

[LiberteToujours]

37. That's a ridiculously nice looking prison

I would love to live there!

[Jack Rabbit]

42. Actualy, it's the courthouse

That's where he goes to be assigned his quarters.

[maine_raptor]

17. He might, assuming they let him out of Betty Ford's Clinic

[The empressof all]

18. He'll be on the Golf Course In Palm Springs

Periodically sticking his head out of the sand to make sarcastic comments.

[jdots]

19. He may graciously step out in tears.

and live on the yaught off the 12 mile limit while the background
boys go to work.This will be different than what George 1 did,the bunker mentality will get ugly to the point that the old conservatives will maybe split off.

[H2O Man]

20. Former president Bush might likely

join the military and go fight in hand-to-hand combat in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, in part 'cause he loves freedom -- it's hard work, ya know -- and also to set an example for you left-wing hippies who have doubted the fact that he is the toughest dude in the world. After he kicks ass in the Middle East, he is quite likely to start a career as a professional heavyweight boxing champion. He will bite Mike Tyson's ears off. And to answer your question: yes, he'll do all this from the comfort of his Crawfurd ranch.

[Mikimouse]

22. I would prefer to see him operating from...

Huntsville. I understand that they know how to deal with people like him.

[PartyPooper]

23. Junior and Pickles will move in with Poppy and Babs in Kennebunkport.

Poppy and Junior will console each other over their respective 1-term presidencies.

And, they'll play golf and fish. Yawn.

:eyes:

[zbird]

24. I would say nursing home/assisted living center.

One that deals with presenile demetia patients.

[vogonity]

25. Somewhere with easy access to...

Lighters, spoons, steel wool, baking sode, razor blades, highball glasses, syringes, icecubes.

[bklyncowgirl]

26. Hell no. He'll dump the pig fram and presidential brush pile...

and by himself some nice McMansion in Dallas.

[Weembo]

27. We hope not!

We hope to get him as far away as possible.

[leftofthedial]

28. no. Gitmo.

if there is any justice

[PurityOfEssence]

29. Yep, sittin' in the corner in that Napoleon hat suckin' on a liter of Beam

stickin' pins in the crotch of his Kerry doll and waitin' for the phone to ring. It never does.

Laura breezes in periodically with fresh-baked cookies, with that Jack Nicholson/Joker smile affixed on her aggressively vapid face, but to no avail.

Mention of his name becomes tantamount to profanity among the power circles of the right, and the subject is always changed.

Where he'll have the presidential lieberry's an open question.

[Irishladdie]

30. No, he's going to IRAQ

[Bossy Monkey]

31. The Hague is very nice.

But seriously, probably a hotel room in Houston convenient to the airport, just like daddy.

[goclark]

35. I want to book my tickets to the Netherlands

as soon as the first word hits print.

[Auntie Bush]

32. He'll stay! He's cleared much to much BRUSH to leave that place.

[amandabeech]

34. He probably already has a place lined up in some country

that will not extradite to either the U.S. or the Hague.

How about Myanmar?

[BattyDem]

36. United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth

:evilgrin:

[TexasThoughtCriminal]

38. What's the straight dope on his fear of horses?

Yeah, that "ranch" is staged for sure. You never see that "cowboy" on a horse, do you? What's the story on the macho, tough-talking coward?

[MrMonk]

40. He's welcome to come to New Jersey

and live in the U-bend beneath my toilet.

[Gyre]

41. Here's some good footage of the ranch!

[hatrack]

43. No, but he may freebase his civilian life out of Crawford

Well, I can dream, now can't I?
