Mike53 speak with forked tongue. It was you neocon fascists that started the "hate" beginning with the dolt Reagan right thru to Bush. Any vitriol aimed at Bush is just sheer retribution for years of republican caustic diatribes aimed at any one in disagreement with their failed policies, programs and voodoo economics. This country is sorely divided because of Bush/Cheney arrogance and ignorance. The majority of American people now know they have been duped and deceived by these two and want drastic change. The hate is spreading. Enjoy it.

I want to see what happens when this idiot is finally out of office. Hecklers of America! This is your chance to shine! Show up at this moron's speechifyin' and let him have it.

My predictions: Laura will finally have a bellyfull and divorce this loser, and he'll start boozing again, if he hasn't already.

He'll end up like Gerald Ford. Ford disappeared to play golf and live the good life in Palm Springs and never used the power of his former presidency to do any good, unlike Carter and Clinton. Even Bush I has done more than the wayward son will likely do.

What an arrogant ahole. Guess he and Tony Snow are having a hard time getting by financially.

The Mafia would be better off by using the model of the republican party and their cronies by installing an administration to rob the US treasury of billions. The Bush/Cheney crime syndicate puts all others to shame and will get off free from indictment and and prison. Sopranos take notice.

No doubt, as a member of Skull and Bones, Bush has access to ridiculous wealth thanks to the little game Stimson played with the plundered Golden Lily and Black Eagle Trust riches at the end of WWII.

But saying Bush will be "making" money, as in "earning" it through gainful employ, I have to ask ... after 6 plus decades on the planet, why would he change his established parasitical game plan now?

The cash registers at McDonalds have pictures on them, so maybe W can get a job there,if he needs extra money. Do you think he can say "do you want fries with that".

We've had other presidents who earlier failed in business: Truman, Grant, Lincoln.

And presidents who articulated poorly: Taylor, Andrew Johnson, Harding, Eisenhower, Ford.

And lazy presidents: Coolidge, Arthur.

And presidents who benefited from a familiar surname in getting elected: John Quincy Adams, Benjamin Harrison, F.D. Roosevelt.

And presidents who started (or accelerated) foreign wars on false pretenses: Polk, McKinley, Lyndon Johnson.

And presidents who hired inept cronies to fill important government jobs: Jackson, Nixon, Carter.

We've just never had all of them in one guy before. As the Bard might have said, "The fault, dear Americans, lies not in our stars, but in our crooked electoral system."

Troops are dying each day because of this
war criminal, and this moron is talking about
the "ridiculous amount of money" he wants to
make. This SOB really is without a gram of
conscience or decency. He forgot to mention
all the money he will make for "writing" his
book after he leaves office. This moron could
not write a declarative sentence nor can he
actually speak in lucid rational sentences.
And once again there is no outrage at what
this SOB says, or does. Keith Olbermann gave
one of his brilliant and scathing "special
comments" on BUSH (last night after Bush's
comments were aired) every Democrat needs to
read it, and do what Keith is suggesting
Remove Bush From Office Now - this country
can't afford or take another 500 days of this
war criminal.

He might get booked at the "Just for Laughs" comedy festival in Montreal but even THAT's a stretch i think.

Nearly the entire estate of GW Bush has been hand outs, or bail outs, or out right theft. Is GW planning another Bush crime wave?

Bush has NEVER been successful at business. Unlike the rest of us though George and brother Neil's failures in business cost the American taxpayer close to a billion dollars.
When George was made part of the Texas rangers the other owners were adamant that he was to be a PR figurehead and could not have anything to do with money.
These facts about his failures and how he was bailed out by the US taxpayers and some shady Saudi oil barons were not even mentioned when bush was running for office.
He couldn't make money on oil with his connections as a Texan and a Bush so how the hell could he competently run the USA.
This is why Hillary MUST not be elected...she also has some stupendous failures of management in her past .
