"...when the presidents were announced, Bush tried to push his way past Clinton at the library door to be first in line, against the already accepted protocol for the event, as though the walk to the platform was a contest for alpha male."

And he'll be the first prez to not have a secret service detail assigned after 10 years.
From Snopes:
Secret Service staffing levels vary as the situation requires, and lifetime protection for former Presidents and their spouses was eliminated by Congressional legislation in 1997. President Clinton and his wife, Hillary, are the last First Couple who will receive such a benefit; President George W. Bush and all who succeed him in the White House will be limited to receiving Secret Service protection for a period of not more than 10 years from the time they leave office.

24. That's the first thing that I thought of in Gordon Liddy style...
something about headshots 'cause you know they're wearing bulletproof vests. No, I won't post the exact quote 'cause I don't want either DU or me to become 'anyplace or someone of interest'.

20. "you want Cheney to finish the term?"
We already have Cheney running the country. Bush isn't smart enough to do it himself. He's evil & stupid.

17. I also noticed they don't put up his itinerary on the WH
website anymore. I was just curious where he was going to be until the November election and it looks like it's a big secret.

I remember reading stories about Stalin and other dictators having to sleep in a different place every night. Are they doing the same with Bush? What about all these trips outside of the US that he's been taking lately? Is AF1 the only place he's safe anymore?
