You Tell Us: What's Next for President Bush?

Who cares? I hope he drops dead for all I care!

He'd make a great shoe salesman.

Or he could lead the US Dodgeball Team to a World Championship!

He could Co-Star with Dick Cheney in a another "Gilligan's Island" movie. He'd be Gilligan, Vice as the Skipper. Mary Ann Akers as Mary Ann.

Let me know your suggestions for the rest of the castaways.

In the bubble till the end! There just aren't enough shoes in the world...

what's next for chimpy?

he'll be found drunk, stumbling around his new gated dallas community some early morning..

so much for that beloved redecorated pig farm .... er, rootin' tootin' texas ranch all you white house political reporters used for your bush propagandizing.

What is he on as if he was the Greatest Presidnet. Katrina victoms were helped? WTF!

When will Bush and Chaney end up in jail?

2011

Bush thinks he's a type A personality? The rest of the world thinks he's a type A idiot.

The man believes he has worked hard and has earned our respect. Let us hope we can avoid ever having again to look upon his face or to hear him speak.

W. often let it be known that Gitmo was such a Caribbian Paradise with all the Amenities known to Man, so He should check in down there. He would fit right in since it was built to imprison World Terrorists and George, being the Worlds largest Terrorist, it would be Ideal. Make sure They take off His clothes and Bag His head between Waterboards.

It will be revealed that GWB is the incarnation of the Messiah. And we rejected God's Son because of our wicked natures. Right-wing Christians everywhere will prove his actions to the text of the Old Testament.
Actually Bush will resume his fight with a bag of pretzels after knocking off a case of beer.

lets just pray he rides off into the sunset like the cowboy that rescued the barroom dancer. only for him to live with her forever, both inside their own cage.

An idiot to the last. What an uncomprehending clown as to the damage he and this band of incompetents has wrought. The man should be commit suicide along with the rest of them. I don't think republicans have any shame. Not one of them.

"I'm a Type A personality" says Bush.

Yeah, only if you add SSHOLE ater the A...

What's next? He should be arrested and tried for war crimes.

Geowge W. Bush will be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for (inadvertently?) exposing at his farewell press conference a possible covert plot that otherwise would have plunged the nation into tumult, riot and constitutional crisis.

By this neurolinguistic accident, he will have redeemed himself in the eyes of his Lord.

President Bush 43 should take over as Commissioner of MLB after he completes his library at SMU.

BTW: thanks washpost for screening these posts for "good taste". Jeez.

A nice long photo op trip to the Haugue would be really welcome. I'd watch that process even if it was on Fox.

A trial at the World Court in The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity would be nice. He can take Cheney along.

Who cares? He can work in his Presidential Library and learn to stack his kindergarten books.

I'll tell you what should happen next for the "worst president" this country has ever had! HE SHOULD BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES, ALONG WITH HIS BUDDY CHENEY, AND SIT TO ROTE IN A CELL FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS DAYS!

HE HAS BEEN A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY AND TO THE WORLD! GOOD RIDDANCE!

What's next for Bush?

In a perfect world, jail time in a cell shared with Cheney and Rumsfeld, under precisely the same conditions they signed off on for all those held at Gitmo.

In the real world, seats on corporate boards, big paydays on the right-wing rubber chicken circuit congratulating himself in front of the True Believers, lucrative book deals for self-serving hagiographies, and a life of wealth and leisure as undeserved as his Presidency.

Who says crime doesn't pay?

Personally, I think George W. Bush should join Dick Cheney in Federal Prison for; War Crimes, tossing the Constitution in the toilet, and LYING to the American People.

I think he's going to grow up to be a televangelist.

He will go into hiding in Paraguay where he purchased land about 5 years ago. There he cannot be arrested for war crimes.

I am thinking reality show: Dancing with the Stars, American idol or maybe Big Brother....

Maybe a spread in GQ or some other magazine..

i hope this guy reads these and other postings(oh, i forgot reading is a learned feat)sorry, someone will make him aware of these and other posting(oh, forgot again that would take the ability to "think and reason") well i have no avenues this guy can take except OUT OF TOWN ON THE FIRST THING SMOKING, WITHOUT A PARACHUTE.

GOOD LICK, GOOD BYE AND PLEASE DON'T BOTHER TO WAVE, THERE MIGHT BE A MORE ACCURATE SHOE COMING.

I live in the suburb that's just between Dallas and Fort Worth. I would like there to be a huge wall built between my community and Dallas. I didn't feel safe with Bush as the governor and I feel the entire state will now have a huge target on it after Bush returns.

He is a rich man; he is going to buy an island, with a big castle and many guards.
He is going to try to write a book, but he will never end this book.
He is going to be prepared to give a speech, but nobody is going to invite him.
He is going to prepare a drink for a friend, but nobody wants to be his friend.
And then, he is going to pass away alone, with no friends, but nobody will want to bury him.
We are going to remember him as a poor man, with no gifts, only desperate needs, but so much power.

I think George W. Bush will suffer from a postpartum depression upon leaving the office. It's true.

Not only that, but I also think he will be be happy to move into his house, compared to that little 2x2 they refer to as the White House. I'm visiting from out of the country, and I was surprised at how unlarge the White House is. Bush must have been REALLY conceding the past 8 years to live in a cottage like that.

President Bush should volunteer to go to Iraq and "win" the war he started.

Bush, Cheney, et al, are criminals. I think Bush and many members of his administration should be brought to book for violations of international law, including war crimes; violations of U.S. law; and violations of the Bill of Rights.
I think that whoever does not support this is to some degree complicit in these crimes.

I think the next thing for Bush should be a trial, followed by a long jail sentence.

LOL Type A. Too bad he didn't act on the memo of Aug '01. Yeah, the one entitled "Al Qaeda Determined to Attack America." And Type A was missing after Katrina, too.

He will suffer post-administration toxic propaganda syndrome when and he realizes that eighty percent of the people in the country are absolutely finished listening to his bull****.

I don't see how I can get back home in Texas and look in the mirror and be proud of what I see, if I allowed the loud voices, the loud critics to prevent me from doing what I thought was necessary to protect this country."
- PRESIDENT BUSH in his final news conference as president.
With any luck the mirror will break and he will lose his homes and all other assets.

What's Next for President Bush?

Hopefully, prosecution & hard time.

Of course Bush will go back to gracing the cover of Mad Magazine and continue to retort, "What? Me worry?"

Hopefully both Bush and Cheney will rot in prison for their war crimes and failure to uphold the Constitution while President Obama and our elected Representatives try to restore this country to its pre-Bush/ Cheney condition. What a God-awful mess they have left for us and our children and grandchildren.

well ! well !
several suggestions :
1- Bush could join Cheney in Federal Prison for War Crimes and lying to everybody, american people and foreigners as well
2-Bush and Cheney could go to suffering gaza, india ou black africa and help poor people with their own money and their own time and work !
3-Bush and Cheney could disappear : a suicide could be very welcomed !
4-Bush and Cheney could only retire and disappear somewhere between the first and the last of their own petrol fields !
5-Bush and Cheney could together become alcool-addicts and be forgotten by everybody and their own families and friends !

as for a book ... no thanks !

Extraordinary rendition.

Bush and Cheney should be connected by leg-irons and frog-marched off to the Hague to face charges for waging an illegal war of aggression, for torture, for extraordinary rendition, and for countless other violations of the Geneva Conventions carried out under the Bush-Cheney Regime.

There will be quibblers and apologists who will say the Iraq war was approved by Congress and the UN, but they are wrong.
The apparent sanctions of Congress and the UN were obtained by fraud, and were therefore void ab initio... the war was fought to change the government of Iraq, a purpose expressly forbidden by treaties to which the United States is signatory, and defined therein as an act of aggression.

How about an INDICTMENT of both Bush and Cheney so we can gain at least SOME respect with the world and with ourselves for allowing this criminal to exist in the highest office of our nation for one hour after they ignored the warnings of a pending attack by Bin Laden.

This assministration ALLOWED and provided the opportunity, one might even assume CAUSED the worst attack on American soil in the history of our nation. These two incompetents should not be allowed to say they prevented attacks since 9/11 because all they did was intentionally destroy the infrastructure with incompetent appointees and reduced budgets for agencies they did not like or want; spy illegally on Americans by having their lawyers say it was okay; issue over 1000 "signing statements" to CHANGE LAWS which Bush actually signed into law and then removed parts or reversed their meanings IN SECRET so no one would know until it was too late to do anything; denigrate our National Guard by sending them to war and removing them from the homeland where they were trained to serve and should have been to help with the Katrina aftermath; pulverizing our economy with unprecedented military expenditures; creating an entirely unnecessary war based on "mistruths" or LIES; instituting TORTURE as a standard for our military, putting them in more danger of the same on top of breaking international law with complete and utter disregard for this standard long ago agreed upon by our nation and ultimately reducing world confidence and trust in the U.S to near zero in the remaining seven years in office.

PROSECUTION for these crimes and who knows what else should be the FIRST ITEM ON ANY AGENDA for this Reflublican and any others who assisted him.

He should be tried, executed and sent straight to Hell with Cheney and the rest of them.

I've read some of the above comments and hope that Mr. Obama continues to insist upon some form of communications that link him to the American people, he needs to hear our comments. Unfortunately, the Bush administration, like others was simply out of touch and reach with everyday people. I don't blame Bush entirely, responsibility rests within the people who voted him in office. "Some of whom are standing in unemployment lines and currently homeless" as we blog. The Florida voters stood up this time and said no more. The best thing for Bush to do during his retirement is to create some type of support group, e.g., foundation for the veterans and their survivors along with the parentless children in the U.S. and Iraq. Despite the horrific practices of Sadam and his administration, of which I by no means support, his actions never led to the hanging of our leader. All we had to do was simply support an overthrow of Saddam since wmd were not discovered. Bush needs to ask God for forgiveness and one day walk the streets and backroads of this country and see how real people truly live and measures they have undergone to survive during his administration. When you find yourself angry with Bush, glance through some of the publications, e.g., Time Magazine and Internet, take a hard look at the faces of the children of our veterans and parentless iraqi children aimlessly wandering the streets of Bagdad. I wish all of you peace, serenity and tranquility. In order for us to move forward, we must forgive the man. To not forgive consumes us only. May the God you worship bless you.

If he stopped drinking now - does this mean he as drunk through most of his presidency?
We're involved in two wars - both not going well. Not only he destroyed the economy of this country but the entire world in these global economic times. No wonder ...

I voted for Barack based on what I thought he said.
The idea of going further in debt - another trillion of unsound dollars, to encourage people to continue to buy what they cannot afford will supply the final nail in the ruin of our dollar. To continue unnecessary wars we cannot afford is unsound. To lower taxes (our only source of income)makes no sense. Cut Gov't spending. The only sound economic solution is so simple it's breathtaking. For my credentials link to my Web www.southwickhouse.com Henry Southwick Maxfield

What Should Happen: Bush is convicted of breaking US laws in a federal court, then put on trial in The Hague for war crimes.

What Will Happen: He'll continue to live in his bubble dreamworld, and make millions speaking at invitation-only events.

Prison is where he belongs!!! He would also make an impressive poster child for the illiterate! He destroying our economy, Constitution and devistated the English language with his incompetent, nonsensical, disjointed and meaningless statements. He will be missed most by the comedians to whom he gave a daily dose of material. He will be remembered for many things, none of which his father or country will ever take pride in!

In order to do memoires he will have to learn polysylabic english - some grammar and syntax - and then hire some hack tomake sense of his ramblings -
Confuscious said ; " every country gets the leader it deserves "

What we think he WILL do: 1. Continue his "legacy tour," appearing at every podium wearing that belligerent smirk that always has seemed to us like a mix of school-yard bully and embarrassed teenager. 2. Attempt to get money for the Bush Library (although we haven't a clue what he'll put in it, since most of his documents will probably have to be shredded to avoid trial on war crimes or violation of our Constitution: think torture, renditions, warrantless wiretapping). 3. Go out to Crawford to "cut brush" when Laura gets tired of having him around. 4. Drive around Texas in his pickup with his white cowboy hat on, pretending to be one of us.

What we think he SHOULD do: 1. Work to improve the lives of all the veterans who have been so mistreated (particularly the ones with traumatic brain injuries, the "signature" injury of the Bush/Cheney war in Iraq, or the ones with PTSD; veterans with one or the other of these injuries have been encouraged to sign Section 513 discharges which later serve to deny them ANY medical help, and which indicate that their problems were "pre-existing" and not the result of war injuries. At last reckoning, over 22,000 veterans from all branches of the service had been treated in this vile, disgusting manner. Confirm at The Nation magazine). 2. Volunteer to help in Katrina rebuilding in New Orleans (the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon has a crew going over spring break -- pappy Bush is an Episcopalian so maybe junior could go in his stead).

What we think the WORLD should do: Bring charges against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice for war crimes.

Thank GOD this nightmare is drawing to a close! Now we Americans have to face the wreckage these either incompetent and/or evil people have left for us, and hope that somehow America can repair her standing in the world - along with the economy!

G.W. Bush should be tried for the crimes he's commited while in office. He swore to protect and defend the constitution, not shred it! As any other criminal, if found guilty he must face his punishment. Even Daddy won't be able to help him on this one.

This man was our president. The office demands respect. We elected him twice, we share in his guilt. We must examine how we went so wrong and figure out how not to do this again.
George Bush had a miserable childhood. I want mercy for him.
I don't want him to be humiliated any further. He had to duck two shoes, that is humiliation enough. I don't want any cruel and inhuman things done to him. Just kept out of sight, house arrest at Crawford, till he repents and does community service. He looks fit enough, he could come here to Louisiana and help build houses.
At least if he goes to the Hague, he won't be waterboarded, he won't be stripped nude or be attacked with dogs. He won't get capital punishment, something he gleefully imposed on fellow Texans when he was governor.
I can't wish for those things without becoming as bad as he was. An ideal sentence for our home-grown terrorist: house arrest at the ranch, with constant psychiatric and religious counselors. He can get rid of the ankle bracelet when he confesses to his war crimes and promises to not do it again.
As for Cheney and Rumsfeld, I'd like to see them dodge a few shoes too.
I'd like to see the Hague try Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld in absentia, to be jailed if they show up in countries with respect for humanity and the law.

Hopefully, prison!

Does anyone really believe that he will be able to raise the $300 Million. I predict this will be the first time a Presidential Library does not get built in a reasonable period of time, if at all. And why even bother...Cheney has seen to it that all sensitive historical media has been destroyed.
