Bush Giving First Confirmed Speech In Canada

Former President George W. Bush's first confirmed speaking engagement since leaving office will take him from Crawford to Canada.

Invitations to the event, billed as "a conversation with George W. Bush," say that the former president will "share his thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office" during a March 17 speech in Calgary, Alberta.

If there were anywhere in Canada where he might get a receptive audience, it is Calgary. Calgary is the Canadian version of Dallas. Lots of oil money, cowboy boots, and that type of thing.

Canada has a Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act with universal jurisdiction. It's too bad that we don't have the co jones to arrest him, because he's certainly indictable:

Now if the ICC decides to seek him out before then, that's another story. We'd be obliged to extradite him then.

He's probably worried if his words will be understsood by people who speak Canadian.

MAYBE, HEDID THEM A FAVOR, THEY'RE PAYING HIM BACK, MAYBE IT WAS A LUMBER DEAL

This is great. If you want to find a bunch of idiots, just go to any place
where Bush is giving a speech. Who but the ethically challenged and
anti-Constitution would even attend such an event. Of course it might
be worth it to hear all the misuses and malapropisms.Nah, it still would
be a pathetic affair: a loser reconstructing the truth for an audience that
doesn't care what's true.

I think Bush got confused. When Bush heard that the President (Obama) was heading to give his first out of the USA speech in Canada he thought it was supposed to be him going ;)

[candlepower]

Are we sure he's not paying the company and the attendees to look like he matters

[SeriousBlack]

Oh, he's actually going to land and talk? Not just fly over and look down through the windows?

[candlepower]

Mission accomplished!

[candlepower]

come to think of it does he know how to get to Canada?

[MargaretO]

Well, the Canadians can take a nice nap through it if the laughter over his bumbling doesn't keep them awake.

[StillAmused]

Doesn't he know there's a mutual extradition treaty?

[totaldisbelief]

Canadian Fascists all turn out to hear Bush stammer through some BS speechifying.

[PepperzMom]

Can we close the Canadian/US borders now?
