First, Mr. Bush said, “I’ll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol’ coffers.” With assets that have been estimated as high as nearly $21 million, Mr. Bush added, “I don’t know what my dad gets — it’s more than 50-75” thousand dollars a speech, and “Clinton’s making a lot of money.”

Then he said, “We’ll have a nice place in Dallas,” where he will be running what he called “a fantastic Freedom Institute” promoting democracy around the world. But he added, “I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch.”

1. Impeach! He is totally insane nt

[SalmonChantedEvening]

2. A greedy spoiled sociopath. Just an awful human being.

:grr:

[burythehatchet]

3. it has become quite a challenge for me personally to reconcile

my views of a shared humanity amongst all, and Him being part of that humanity. It shakes my faith.

[YDogg]

4. at least you still have faith

[SalmonChantedEvening]

6. Then I remember Gandhi, Dr. King, Al Gore, Dennis Kuchinich

Paul Wellstone, Andy Stephenson, Russ Feingold, and hundreds upon thousands of names of other wonderful, loving human beings, and I hang on for dear life and sanity.

Hang with me anytime :)

:hug: :loveya:

7. there are far, far more well intentioned people than there are the other kind.

29. I believe him to be a sociopath, so he really doesn't belong to the family

Shared humanity doesn't interest him, he doesn't get it at all. He never will. He enjoys killing - remember him jeering at the Texas prisoner before he executed her. This is a boy who exploded living frogs for fun, and he never grew up. Sociopaths are fundamentally different.

30. I feel what you feel but neither you nor I decide that. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

36. That's true. I'm no psychoanalyst, let alone a judge and jury

but during anyone's life, one has to develop a sense of who cannot be reasoned with, who is dangerous, an enemy that requires constant vigilance and defense and can NEVER be trusted. There is no shortage of clear indications that Bush and many of his enablers are such renegades. I believe him to be both insane and deliberately malicious, but whatever his inner motives, his actions have consistently had the pattern of of insanity and malice. He is responsible for the death or terrible harm of hundreds of thousands of people and will continue to harm and kil, probably in escalating fashion, until he is stopped. He shows no remorse, and if anything, seems to be hardening and intensifying his views. I don't want to hate him, because that gives ME pain, and I would wish that he could be impeached, tried, and removed from office and placed where he can not harm anyone else ever again. Not killed, not tortured, but confined to a life where he can no longer cause harm. Is he "evil" or "sick"? I can't and don't need to make moral or medical judgements like that. But I am very certain that he must be removed from power over others. He has taken himself out of the human family on a fundamental level. I would find it easier to pity him - for he is truly a pathetic being - if he were not actively destroying so much and fomenting a world war.

5. Once again:

[Coexist]

8. thank you.

[jackstraw45]

9. In 10-15 years, I'm guessing, only a handful of those 59 million will admit to voting for Dumbya...

Just as today it's so hard to find Nixon voters from his '72 landslide.

[JDPriestly]

23. Some of them didn't vote for him.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

26. And the ones who said Nixon was "framed" in Watergate.

[smoogatz]

10. He's not just a moron. He's delusional.

Whi in the fuck does he think is going to pay him $50k to give a fucking speech? He's the second most unpopular guy in the country, and he can't utter a coherent sentence. Jeebus.

[jackstraw45]

12. Who? People like this will pay:

Like it or not, thanks to our Dems in Congress being afraid to take on this maniac, he's going to be livin' large on OUR dollar for the rest of his life.

[smoogatz]

15. People like her don't have that kind of cash.

The big-money speaking gigs are all corporate/university/think-tank. The wealthy, fascist whacko outfits are all going to prefer to be growled at by Cheney, I'm guessing. Honestly, I can't think of anyone who'd hire Bush.

Also, worth noting that he doesn't say he'll write a book. I guess "My Pet Goat" has already been done.

[jackstraw45]

16. I REALLY hope you're right but I suspect you're wrong....

Remember, it's not about the MAN - it's about the name and the CASH that it brings.

Conservative organizations/Saudis/big business will cough up the bucks big time.

[smoogatz]

18. Now you're onto something: he'll always be able to get a gig in Saudi Arabia

or Dubai. Or, you know, Uzbekistan.

[jackstraw45]

20. Hand in hand...

[liberalmuse]

11. Not since Hitler...

has any one "human being" (I use the term loosely) been so reviled. I can't wait until we flush this turd.

24. Please don't use language that can be so easily misunderstood.

Surely you don't mean what you said. It sounds too drastic.

[cliss]

14. God damn.

Stephanie, it was incredibly difficult to make my way down your collage. But - it's important. Everyone should see this, because they are the effects of Bush's destruction and neglect around the globe.

To me, the most damning is the photo #2. It's from the holocaust after hurricane Katrina. Just look at that photo. Doesn't it look like a 3rd world country? Like maybe Bangladesh? Or maybe Sri Lanka?

They're all terrible. But - that one is unbelievable.

[Vanje]

17. It'll be hard to give speeches from a jail cell

maybe his dad can arrange for video link ups

[unblock]

19. "fantastic" freedom institute. "fantastic", as in "fantasy"....

[Stephanie]

28. The Fantastic Freedom Institute Four!

Bringing Texas-Style Freedom to Nations with Tremendous Natural Resources EVERYWHERE!

22. Beyond disgusting. Words fail me.

25. Bushler = Worst American Ever.

32. Busholini & Cheney are horrible people.

It is a awful feeling to know that these creatures supposedly represent America.

[lonestarnot]

31. Swampy

Good! Could you do one with two brain cells (simulations of course) rubbing together acting functional? :P

[Swamp Rat]

35. Jeewiz

I doubt we'll find more than one brain cell to fulfill your request. x(



:D

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Me thinks the psycho may be regretting those words. They weren't received well by anyone but his

most ardent sheeple supporters...Ron Christie on Tweety, for example.:(

He's such an embarrassment. His words didn't surprise me in the least though. All they think about is money. Humanity is just in their way of making more of it....you know...an annoyance.

[Lucinda]

34. I dont think

they let you out of prison for personal appearances...
