Where IS Dubya, Anyway?

[msallied]

The discussion thread below about President Obama being invited by GHWB to speak Texas A&M was telling, imo, at how little in demand Dubya is these days. But does anyone know what the hell the man has been up to? Last I heard he was basically secluding himself in at his ranch, and everything else sounds more like tabloid news. Anyone in the know here?

[Occam Bandage]

1. Drunk on a couch.

[spinbaby]

4. Almost certainly

Now he gets to drink all he wants.

[Botany]

5. By the end he was drinking in public

he never really stopped

[mascarax]

33. Isn't that a weird/awkward way to hold a glass?

Really makes it look like he's guzzling.
Which he may be.
Sheesh, this is when he was in his former position too (once appointed, I refused to call him any title but "Dubya"). He just looks pathetic.

[NJCher]

46. I never once called him "The President"

Or "President Bush." Not once, not ever.

Cher

[calimary]

35. And don't forget the national embarrassment of george w. bush at last year's

Summer Olympics. Holy Mother of God... Literally falling-down drunk in the stands and making the most ridiculous faces. Just a world-class embarrassment. Wouldn't surprise me that nobody wants to be seen with him - to this day.

[tanyev]

45. "Lympicsh! Besht party ever!! USA! Woooo!"

[NJCher]

47. I cringe

What a freaking idiot.

[NNadir]

66. I wasn't aware of this one, but Jenna is starting to look like her Mom.

Polyethylene face with the Joker mask.

[MoralSyncretism]

71. What is that on his right elbow? scabs?

or brown dribble?
Odd.
Guess he fell down previous to this stumble and did himself a boo-boo. (?)

[HughBeaumont]

2. I'm pretty sure he's not coming out of hiding anytime soon.

This guy knows "mistakes were made". LOTS of them. The man's a tool, but not a lobotomy patient.

[northernlights]

49. exactly

for all his financial worth, he's made so many enemies in the world his life isn't worth a plug nickel and now that he's out of his little white house cocoon he's probably become aware of that fact. Didn't they recently extend his daughters' secret service protection?

Funny how darth cheney, on the other hand, seems to think he's safe to come out of hiding these days and grace us (not) with his wit and charm. :eyes:

[Botany]

3. He is in Crawford and she is in Dallas

[vaberella]

37. Holy Cookies?! Is this true?! Wow. n/t

[RichGirl]

57. More importantly.....

Is Goldie Hawn's face REALLY falling apart?????

[Drunken Irishman]

62. It's Death Becomes Her all over again!

[eridani]

68. It's the Enquirer with the big team of fact-checking lawyers, not the Globe

Any other sources?

[iceman66]

6. I don't think we'll be hearing much from Dubya in the years ahead.

Didn't he sell the ranch after leaving office? It was never much more than a prop.

[elocs]

7. He couldn't get out of Washington fast enough and maybe he is embarrassed by his presidency.

I realize that is not as clever an answer as other DUers will give, but then he was made into a caricature of himself and a cartoon character here and there really are not too many regular Americans who look upon a president who gets portrayed as a buffoonish chimp and a joke as being dangerous.

[Orsino]

8. His handlers have been keeping him in an induced coma since 3Q '07...

...on the theory that the less he speaks, the less corrupt and lazy he seems. Well-wishers can leave cards and small toys at the door to the mansion.

[Christa]

9. Thank the FSM

He is not in the WH anymore.

10. No Joke, Bush has a drinking problem ***PICS*** and I wouldn't doubt if he werent drunk somewhere

[vaberella]

38. Oh Christ. I did not even get to see this one. Was this covered in the media, at all? n/t

[SIMPLYB1980]

11. Fishing?

[euphoria12leo]

12. Somewhere crying in a bottle

because that "Cat" won the Nobel Peace Prize. But now that he was mentioned he'll probably turn up.


:banghead:

[global1]

13. Really - Who The Hell Cares?........nt

[abluelady]

18. Ditto. n/t

[Fire1]

29. Ditto. n/t

[SteveG]

63. Yup, who gives a Rat's nether regions? (nt)

nt

[PearliePoo2]

14. He is most likely resembling a band-aid commercial for cuts and scrapes

Riding his bike and doing face-plants while shit-faced drunk, no doubt.

[NYC Liberal]

15. He was hunting in Utah last week, I know that

Here's a pic from September ... looking as dumb and drunk as always.

[Arugula Latte]

34. Good gawd.

His soulless, lifeless eyes look even more shark-like than ever. :scared:

[thelordofhell]

16. If there was any justice in the world

He was renditioned to a foreign country that allows torture.

[RedCloud]

17. UFO Hunters reported spaceships near Crawford, Texas.

Maybe he pissed off some ultra advanced ETs and he is now in one of their zoos.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. He is writing his book entitled Cheney hit me

it wasn't the pretzel!

[obamacon]

20. Last I read

He was still amused he was President for 8 years

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/george_w_bush_chuckles_to_self

[Brother Buzz]

21. I understand he took a position as a third base Ball Dude...

for an East Texas Triple A baseball team. He is happy to work for free hot dogs and beer.

[unhappycamper]

51. Nope. I heard he took the position of 3rd base.

He's pretty much fried these days and layin down seems like a good idea.

[Brother Buzz]

53. No, they had reservations about him at first until they discovered....

that when they spike his first beer of the day with a little white lightning (Georgie says that's what light beer really is) he sobers up and becomes absolutely entertaining. His crowd-pleasing antics, taunting the umpires by calling them liberal commie Fascist Nazi tree-hugging Pinkos, brings down the house.

[Garam_Masala]

22. Have you checked Condi's apartment?

May be he is hiding there !!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. Whatever he's doing I'm sure he's doing it incompetently.... But will be rewarded anyway. nt

[Sannum]

24. They tried to make him go to rehab but he said no, no, no.

[AspenRose]

41. !

:spray:

[slackmaster]

25. Hiding in the attic, in a cardboard box

Afraid of the ass-whuppin' his dad is going to give him for messing up the country.

[SIMPLYB1980]

30. LOL!

[annabanana]

70. +1 . . . n/t

[chollybocker]

26. Next week, he'll be speechifying in Montréal

http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Exclusive+Bush+coming+Montreal/1928604/story.html

"
tinePUBLIC Inc, the Canadian firm that booked Bush for his first speaking event since leaving office last January, is the same firm that is bringing the controversial former president to Montreal.
A partnership founded by two Calgary entrepreneurs, tinePUBLIC brought Bush to Calgary last March 17 for his first public appearance since stepping down from the Oval Office.
"


Many protests are being planned...

http://georgebushmontreal.wordpress.com/

[AspenRose]

42. "Crash their party...bring your old shoes"

:spray:

That's cold.

"The Montreal Chamber of Commerce has invited the former US President to share the highlights of his presidency on October 22, 2009, at the Queen-Elizabeth Hotel.

Who’s paying $400 each to hear this criminal brag for 40 minutes? Other crooks, that’s who!

<snippy>

Not even a year removed from his crimes of war, occupation and torture, as well as ecological and economic devastation, the apologists at the Chamber of Commerce have decided to provide George W. Bush with a platform to rehabilitate his image.

Join us in large numbers to send the message:
George Bush is not welcome in Montreal!

Crash their party! Bring your old shoes!
This is an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist call to disrupt George W Bush’s visit to Montreal."


Wow. Takes a special je ne sais quoi to motivate people to protest you AFTER you've left office.

[Canuckistanian]

27. Proabably bought some white loafers and joined the local Bridge Club

With his pants pulled halfway up to his chest, mumbling something about the price of Metamucil.

[Stephanie]

28. Here he is.

Drunk as a Skunk.



Former President George W. Bush speaks during the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2009. Bush said that coordinated international action helped save the world from the financial crisis that erupted last year.

The KNOWLEDGE Forum?

[Aristus]

31. What was he? The control group?

Knowledge Forum that features his dumb ass... :eyes:

[Arugula Latte]

36. World Knowledge Forum?! World Knowledge Forum?!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Hekate]

44. He looks rough. Still wearing his little flag pin, though. Baby Caligula, time to go home. nt

[jberryhill]

55. Good Lord, that's a scream

I thought someone had photoshopped "Knowledge Forum" onto the podium as a joke.

Was he arguing the "anti-" side of a debate on whether knowledge is a good thing?

[kestrel91316]

32. I assume he's drowning his sorrows. Personally I hope he drowns himself

in the process. What a waste of skin.

[AspenRose]

39. Don't know; don't care.

That Angus is one fine looking kitty. :-)

[NJCher]

48. I am ready to be ruled by Angus

Can we go back in time and have President Angus for eight years?

Cher

[Harry Monroe]

40. Don't know and don't give a fuck

[question everything]

43. Reminding his ghost writer that he is supposed to come up

with a book.

Especially since Palin "did" it so fast.

[pampango]

50. As long as he's off my TV, and he is, I don't really care.

PS I'm glad that Cheney has decided to join him in "off my TV" land. There for a while I was seeing more of Cheney than I could stand, though he presents such a negative image of repubs that he does serve a useful purpose in that sense.

[Honeycombe8]

52. He lives just a few blocks from ME!

I bet he had to pay top dollar to buy that close to me!

[ZombieHorde]

54. Laughing hysterically at all of us. He openly committed crimes, made tons of money for his friends,

and got away with it. He probably mocks us all for being so dumb.

[Arkana]

60. None of them are laughing.

The reason they're not laughing is because they don't think they committed any crimes. Ever seen Dick Cheney crack a smile? Ever? Bush is like Reagan--too dumb to be evil without help.

[burning rain]

56. He's working on his presidential library.

As soon as he finishes coloring another book, it'll be added to the collection.

[Arkana]

58. Drinking heavily and laughing as he pees himself.

[polichick]

59. Pruning shrubs in his new suburban yard?? nt

[opihimoimoi]

61. He is in the gym dodging old shoes.... :o)

[dana_b]

64. hiding. but more importantly..

you have a beautiful kitty! (and I'm a dog lover)

[yurbud]

65. two words: JEFF GANNON

[jaysunb]

67. His, "ranch ? "

I thought they struck that "set" several months ago...:shrug:

[old mark]

69. I heard it was sold - W preferred the gated community. nt

[Umbral]

72. On a related note, has the new government of Paraguay signed extradition treaties with the US? nt
