What do you think bush will do when he leaves office...

[butterfly77]

I have heard that he bought some property in Paraguay. If he doesn't leave what will he do public speaking? Will the pundits run to him for advice...

[jaxx]

1. Who would pay to listen to him?

I think your idea of his hightailing it off to Paraguay makes more sense. run dubya run

[butterfly77]

3. Fringe groups...

and his base that have money...

[jmowreader]

2. What will Bush do? Five to ten with time off for good behavior

[rhiannon55]

7. Five to ten is WAY too light a sentence

for a mass murderer. Life, and nothing less.

[butterfly77]

9. I am hoping ....

but I think that they have been planning and will be planning over the holidays...They are shredding materials and planning their escape in case things don't work out as they planned...Are we sure that they don't have a tunnel built for escape, I believe that they have plans like that for escape in case of a terrorist attack but they probably have one set up if they think that they will be impeached or some other circumstance...

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Drink himself to death when he finds that no corporation

has invited him to be on their Board of Directors, nobody returns his phonecalls, he's not invited to fundraisers, etc.

[wakeme2008]

5. IMHO he will not make the $$$ Clinton or Bush SR made on the Talk

Circuit...

[butterfly77]

13. He doesn't need it anyhow ...

because he and his crew have stolen anything they can get their hands on...

[WI_DEM]

6. chop wood on his pig farm and receive huge corporate fees for doin' nothin'

[MurrayDelph]

8. Hopefully:

Life without parole.

[filer]

10. He can swat the flies landing on his legacy.

But he's probably not much good at that either.

[many a good man]

11. Plan more conquests

First the world. Then the galaxies!

[Sara Bradi]

12. chopping wood in crawford TX

[butterfly77]

18. Probably will try to write a book...

and rewrite history...

[Sara Bradi]

28. "Why I invaded Iraq" - its already been written for him

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. He'll have to hire a ton of security. A lot of people across the world hate him.

The amount of secret service that all of the other former Presidents have will be nowhere near enough for him.

I don't think he'll dare go out in public.

[butterfly77]

20. I've always wondered what type of life...

he will have for just those reasons. He is the most hated man in the world...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. Compare him with Truman

Truman took a public train (to save money) back to Misery. no guard, no hoopla, no security.

Even Reagan and Nixon were fairly accessible, as Clinton apparently is even today.

Of course, HWBush is so connected with nasty business dealings that he absolutely needs all the US funded security he can get.

[Duer 157099]

15. Lecture on college campuses as a guest professor

hahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhah!!

as if

[novalib]

16. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!!!

As long as he is OUT-- I do not give a FUCK what he does!!!!

I do think, though, that he should be IGNORED!!!!

Total and completely IGNORED!!

(It would be so SWEET if he were arrested, indicted, convicted, and THROWN IN JAIL -- preferably solitary confinement!!!!)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. I had a good sense of what GHWBush would do - and he did.

same with Reagan, Carter, Clinton.

With a complete and total walking disaster area like George Jr, I have not not even a shadow of an idea possibly crossing my mind about his future.

If we were unlucky, he'll be assassinated, leaving Cheney in charge. If we are REALLY REALLY unlucky, he will serve out his term, then run and hide, far from the public eye, a disgraced figure, not tragic, like a lear, but utterly reviled. Paraguay? not unlikely. Talk about cutting and running. If we are lucky, Cheney resigns, and the Congress finds the ways and means to impeach the chimp.

I once thought that "Speaker Pelosi" sounds so fine. "President" Pelosi would be music to my ears.

[Lurking Dem]

19. Become Baseball Commissioner

which was the job he always wanted in the first place.

[jmowreader]

40. Except that he knows dick about baseball

Remember, this is the man who traded Sammy Sosa.

Here's what I WANT to happen: I want him to move to the great city of Fayettenam, North Carolina, one of the few places in America where he's not reviled by the majority of the population. Then I want him to apply to The Home Depot and to be hired. And then I want him to be assigned to my lumber department.

I believe the first paragraph of my first semiannual performance review with Mr. Bush will go down in the annals of history as possibly the most vicious evaluation ever presented in the 27-year history of my corporation. "George, you don't suck nearly as bad as you did in your last job. Then again, because in your last job you attempted to bankrupt the United States, sell America to the Communist Chinese, and destroy the Middle East, and you succeeded on all counts, if you sucked that bad here this evaluation wouldn't be in writing. You are aware, mainly because I showed you where all the stuff is on your first day in the department, that this store sells everything you'd need to conduct a Japanese-style ritual suicide. Oh, and I'm the one responsible for putting all those evaluations of your presidency, Operation Iraqi Liberation casualty lists, and 'how to commit seppuku' printouts in your locker."

[Lurking Dem]

44. That's never stopped him before.

[Lisa]

54. don't forget to remind him to stop by the Paint section ...

... and buy a Model V912 Thermwell 9 Ft. x 12 Ft. Blue Vinyl Heavy Gauge Tarp -- to spread on the floor BEFORE he does his thing, because none of his co-workers will want to clean up after him.

On second thought, make it a 16 Ft. x 20 Ft. Model V1620, because if he messed up his presidency, he's going to botch seppuku as well.

[jmowreader]

59. Buy, HELL!

Lisa, for such a good cause as Bush committing seppuku, we'd mark down a tarp for him.

In fact, I'm SUCH a generous guy, I'll mark down all of the following for him:

a 9x12 tarp--it's big enough
a sheet of plywood
a machete
a Stanley SportUtility Knife, the first utility knife with a folding lockback hunting knife blade built into it.
a box of nails
two empty pallets
and a Resin Storage Shelf.

Bush CAN'T commit seppuku on Home Depot property because there is drinking during the ceremony and we're not allowed to bring alcoholic beverages onto the property at any time. It is so severe that if I'm on my day off and I need something from Home Depot and something from the liquor store, I've got to go to the Home Depot first because I could get fired for having a bottle of liquor in my trunk in the parking lot on my day off. (Besides, I'm certain there's SOMETHING in the Code of Conduct that says we can't behead an associate on the property, and that's part of the ceremony too.) However, there is a piece of land right next to the store that has a forklift-navigable road. We could use that.

Oh...I checked the Associate Guide. Beheading is between Back End Automation Restructuring Initiative (BEAR) and Bereavement Guidelines. It says you have to conduct at least three written disciplinary sessions first, and recommends termination as a "more suitable" method of ridding yourself of problem children.

[Journeyman]

49. That's what I've always imagined he'll do . . .

He knows just enough about baseball ("the owners are always right!") to be acceptable to the Clubs, and he has enough visibility and "gravitas" that the players would find it hard (if not impossible) to mount an argument against him. The perfect candidate for Corporate Sports.

[PoiBoy]

21. Leave the country...

Mike Malloy was saying the other day that perhaps the Dems will not bring up impeachment knowing that once Boosh leaves office, he can be arrested and charged with criminal proceedings.. and the list of crimes this guy will be charged with is very, very long....

[Nimrod2005]

22. Open a bar.....

[stellanoir]

23. Escape to Paraguay

where they've according to some, already deployed some troops, avoid extradition, and drink Pina Coladas with the still not dead Ken Lay.

Who knows and who cares. I'll just be greatly relieved to not have to listen to him any more.

[butterfly77]

38. You will hear from him...

through his base. They will try to portray him as some great and mighty leader as they try to portray Reagan...

[stellanoir]

42. e-gads !!!

Please let agent Mike know that I was just screwing around and it was only a joke.

Sheesh.

[RobofSWVA]

24. move to Iraq

I hear it's a great place to live!

[Sara Bradi]

31. someone should ask him about that

[ThomWV]

25. Become more invisible than Gerald Ford

Remember him?

[Sara Bradi]

29. i sure dont

[madokie]

26. If he makes it to Paraguay he won't be seen or heard from again

my bet is on the Internation Criminal Court as his first stop, from there all other bets are off.

[Sara Bradi]

30. he has immunity

[leveymg]

34. Tell that to President Augusto Pinochet

He also thought he could legalize torture. See, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2241888&mesg_id=2241888

[FiveGoodMen]

32. Clang his tin cup against the bars, day and night, till he's dead...

...if there were any justice.

[Jose Diablo]

33. Sell insurance or maybe cemetary plots

door to door. Being in Texas, he'll probably take-up selling lightning rods and posting handbills for revival meetings. He could get as much as 1 cent per handout. Make say $10 a day and if he is into dumpster diving, he'll get by.

[MadHound]

35. Quietly retired to some out of the way place,

Where he is left to drink himself to death. He will only be trundled out for the absolutely most necessary occasions, and that only after he has gone through a month of detox.

Then he will be trundled off, back to his out of the way corner, and again left to drink himself to death.

[Lisa]

55. eventually they will just borrow the Disney animatronic version of him

It speaks more clearly and is better-behaved (doesn't get violently abusive and then fall over).

[applegrove]

36. Well Cheney and Rummy have bought homes a thousand miles away

from Bush's "ranch". So whatever he does he will be doing it alone. Perhaps Condi will be nearby.

[Hubert Flottz]

37. Hard Time...

I hope.

[leftofthedial]

39. Go To Jail

Go directly to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.



if there were one ounce of justice in the entire universe.

[CanonRay]

41. Remember all that land in Paraguay, and no extradition treaty!

[KansDem]

43. He and his staff will remove all the "Ds" from the White House computers. (eom)

[valerief]

45. He's off to Cocaine Heaven. nt

[butterfly77]

46. I can agree with that....

and a booze binge...

[onecent]

47. Read books to children. n/t

[hexola]

48. He sure as hell isn't going to be paid zillions of dollars as a speaker

like other former presidents. Or teach at a prestigious university. He's essentially a useless human being, and I am generous when I say "human". Paraguay, and drunk is as good as it gets for him.

[Vadem]

50. I predict Pickles will divorce him the minute they are out of WH...

and she will get the pig farm in Crawford and he will be in Paraguay with the Rev. Moon and all his lovely ladies (and gentlemen) to fawn over Bush and all his billions and do his bidding!

:evilgrin:

[kskiska]

51. AMWAY

[WinkyDink]

52. Cry because, for the first time in about a dozen years, he'll have nobody

to send to their deaths.

[BlueIris]

53. Let me just say that I don't think he'll go to Paraguay, ICC, the Hague,

Riyad, or France. Nope. Not gonna be an issue.

[Toucano]

56. Shiver in a cold, damp, dark prison cell in the Hague. n/t

[Imagevision]

57. I think we'll be seeing Bush to appear drunk giving speeches, while Rice explains it away as

"the president was medicated for flu-like conditions. Bush will definitly be hitting the bottle big time when he discovers there is nothing more for him to be part of. Who the hell would want Bush on their payroll when he can't personaly bring anything to the table!

[BreweryYardRat]

58. Ideally?

Hang himself.

[Solly Mack]

60. he'll take a "much needed" rest...at least that'll be the spin

If his Crawford ranch isn't sold prior to his leaving office, he'll go there and "clear brush", do some "biking", and spend "time with his family"
