What will Bush do when he's out of office
Go to Saudi Arabia! Collect all those
gifts for not prosecuting them for
funding Al Queda and 9/11.

When Selig retires. I wish he had been offered the job to begin with. Then he would have fucked up baseball instead of the country. Wait! What am I thinking!!??

21. Thanks, It's hard to see how Bunnypants
could screw things up more than Selig (though the Wild Card sure did pan out, didn't it?). I can picture Junior walking in clubhouses, feeling important, while the players snicker behind his back.

Karl wont let poor George drink more than 4 at one sitting.
Karl wont even let George have his cocaine at Camp David anymore.

Hard-work'n George W, will go to his "ranch" and snort Jim Beam and drink Xanax, and .....talk about pussy with Dad and Rush and Condeleeza.

he'll travel around the world solving intractable problems, he will be in high demand for advice on foreign policy issues, he'll give speeches, teach college, maybe write some books.

29. Well, his speaking opportunities will be limited to
partisan meetings of the brain dead GOP. Don't think he'll get the thousands and thousands of dollars for hitting the chicken dinner circuit like most past president. Who on earth would PAY to hear him speak? And since he would no longer have any viability with an "in" to the White House there won't be many family friends that will be willing to step up and buy his way out of the next mess he gets himself into.

I'm guessing at least one Bush wife might have to go to work. Understand that Laura is a chain smoker and a shopaholic, somebody is going to have to keep her and the girls in ciggies and new shoes.

25. First, he'll pout
Then he'll kick Barney.

After that, he'll "reinvent himself," put together a new business venture, buy some baseball team using someone else's money, screw taxpayers and make a huge profit.... oh wait... he already did that.

30. Bush will never leave the White House willingly.
He will need to be removed by some government sanctioned entity. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see him ever giving it up.

37. He'll be the antithesis of Jimmy Carter
He'll be as useless an ex-President as he was a President. Which will be very good for the country.

I mainly pray he loses on Nov. 2 so that he can live with that defeat the remainder of his miserable failure of a life.

45. Same thing he did while in the WH

He'll sit quietly and color in his coloring books until he's called upon to go out and say what the earpiece is telling him to say. The only difference is, he'll be on a speaking tour for big $$$$$.

49. Not much different
He doesn't do any work as it is right now; he's spent most of his time on vacation. I can't see that his routine will change that much, except he won't be doing any more outdoor work (i.e. clearing brush) to gain points with rural voters. He may take a "consulting" job and screw people out of their hard earned money-- that's the only thing he's good at.

54. Go Overseas and Collect Big Checks, Just Like Ronnie Raygun
After Reagan left office, in 1989, he travelled to Japan to get paid two million dollars for two twenty-minute speeches and a few public appearances. As noted above, George W. will do the same thing, except it will be Saudi Arabia instead of Japan providing the cash.
