(I love the way they didn't capitalize "presidency" in the headline! You need to read the stupid stuff he quoted as saying!)

Bush mulls life after presidency :spray:

George W Bush has considered life after the White House and is very interested in his legacy, reports of interviews with the author of a new book suggest.

"I'll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol' coffers," Mr Bush told Robert Draper, author of Dead Certain: The Presidency of George Bush. Mr Bush says he "can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch" in Texas.

The book is informed by six intimate conversations with the president. It is due to be published on Tuesday....

(edit)

In response to Mr Draper's suggestion that Mr Bush has nobody's "shoulder to cry on", the president says: "Of course, I do, I've got God's shoulder to cry on, and I cry a lot"....

1. George's legacy is mass graves. Just like Saddam.

They have them all over Iraq. Afghanistan. And I'm pretty sure we haven't found all the bodies here at home.

[cui bono]

2. "I'll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol' coffers,"

Not because he has anything worthwhile to say.

[cui bono]

3. "But the fundamental question is, is the world better off as a result of your leadership?"

And the definitive answer is NO!

4. Who is going to PAY him to speak?

I mean, really. He can't speechify.

5. What a fucking idiot. He really thinks that he can make money from

speeches? The fool can't even talk.:eyes:

6. staggering..

"Replenish the coffers", indeed!

Let's hope he does that sewing mailbags or breaking rocks.

7. I know. I think I'm going to BARF!

Where is that smiley guy who barfs?

Let's see now.......:puke:

8. I have a few more, sometimes they barf in a sequence ...

12. That's my hope too...

...give him a few years of solitary confinement....

9. If There's a God, Bush Won't Have a Life; Just a Life Sentence! n/t

10. I can also envision Bu$h getting bored

While he serves out his life sentence at Camp Gitmo ...

11. Who's going to replenish *our* coffers, George?

:shrug:

13. Whose coffers, Mr. Bush?

You've drained the country's...

If there were any justice, Bush's life after presidency will end with him in jail - then he'll have plenty of time to cry on God's shoulder!
