What do you think Bushie would be doing without his family connections?

[BushOut06]

If Bush had never been born into his particular family, if daddy hadn't pulled strings to get him into Yale or the Bama Air Guard, where would he have wound up? We know his ass would have wound up in 'Nam for one thing. Assuming he made it back in one piece, where would he be now?

Personally, given his love of baseball, I have a feeling he'd be a washed-out minor league pitcher somewhere in Bumfuck, Iowa. He'd probably be working part-time as an oily used car salesman for some cheap buy-here pay-here lot. Then would go home, get drunk and strung out on coke, demand his RW wife make him some dinner, then fall over and go to sleep a defeated man.

[SPKrazy]

1. He'd be in jail, in an institution, no longer with us, or in recovery!

He's an alcoholic/addict.

He wouldn't be President.

He'd be some salesman somewhere eeking out a living.

[havocmom]

2. He would likely have been drafted and sent to Nam

Might not have been around after that.

[HawkerHurricane]

13. Sure thing.

Drafted, sent to Nam (no connections, no cushy National Guard spot)... no pilot training, basic Infantry... then (if he survived) homeless. Not enough character there to get by without being propped up.

[Mythsaje]

3. Who knows...

he may have even been a decent human being without being born into that particularly dynasty with their amoral outlook on life and America.

[jedr]

4. Running the sporting goods counter at Wal*Mart! n/t

[EFerrari]

5. Jail or dead. n/t

[janx]

6. He would be selling stuff.

No doubt about it.

[FormerRepublican]

7. He'd be an amoeba since he obviously has no brain.

[yorkiemommie1]

8. Clearing brush for real

and making minimum wage.

:rofl:

[Drum]

9. still clearing brush and riding a bike nt

[shaniqua6392]

10. With his lack of intelligence

I think he would have ended up a homeless alcoholic sleeping on a sewer grate in his tightie-whities!!

[BushOut06]

11. Damned, that just brought up images from 'The Jerk'

You mean he'd wind up like Steve Martin towards the end of that movie? Except he wouldn't have the loving black family to rescue him?

[Generic Other]

12. Here's a picture of him in a just universe

[SpaghettiGirl]

14. Taco Bell

I think he would end up working for Taco Bell - you know, the type that always tries to keep a little extra change for himself.

[newyawker99]

30. Hi SpaghettiGirl!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Kali]

15. making up his cot at the St. Mikes home for the homeless

and thinkin' about tomorrow's bottle.

[Straight Shooter]

16. Pumping gas by day, hanging out and drinking in bars at night.

Sidling up to the women and saying, "Want some wood? Heh heh."

Yep, he'd still be a loser, but at least he wouldn't be a dangerous loser. Then again, I can see bush as a hired killer. Weapon of choice? Dynamite.

[Jack Rabbit]

17. Dodging his parole officer

Trying to figure out how he will pass his next piss test so that he can keep his job stocking shelves at WalMart.

[Liberal Gramma]

18. I think he'd be doing 5 to 10

[Warpy]

19. Selling used cars, married to the boss's daughter

and constantly getting called on the carpet for screwing up the paperwork on every sale he slaps enough backs to make.

Oh, and in debt up to his eyeballs because he's so damn dumb about money and besides, he's got all those DUI fines to pay off.

[1620rock]

23. Panhandling on a street corner for his bottles of Mad Dog 20. n/t

[spindrifter]

20. He'd be a homeless guy

who panhandles in between his nutcase checks so he can buy bottles of MadDog to share with other people in his camp.

[Individualist]

21. He'd be in prison

I started to say making license plates in prison, but dumbass would even screw up trying to do that.

[Liberal In Texas]

22. Ran into a guy on a job who went to school with * at Yale. Said he knew

him. He said that if it weren't for his family he'd be lucky to be selling insurance. (I don't think he was slamming insurance salesmen BTW.)

[janx]

24. My dear friend's brother went to school with him at

Harvard Business School.

...

I will not divulge what he said, but you can rest assured it wasn't good.

[Donailin]

25. he is the product of his mother and father

you make it sound like he raised himself in a vaccuum. If he were born to other parents, he may have a had a chance at some self esteem, self reflection and a good character.

You need to read Bushon the Couch, the person you have a problem with is his wicked mother. And Dick Cheney and karl Rove. George is the manipulated, the others are the manipulators.

[LittleClarkie]

26. He'd be drunk and drooling somewhere

and we'd never have even heard of him. He'd have failed at the first business he tried. And no one would have been there to bail him out.

[banana republican]

27. Doggie position in prison...

[Rocknrule]

28. He'd be living like Billy Bob Thorton in Bad Santa

[ladjf]

29. If not in prison, he might be able to hold down a job at a car wash

in the South.

[saltpoint]

31. He'd be driving a delivery truck for Hostess cupcakes. / nt

32. Bar-fly and Rooms-to-Go employee of the Month, May 1993.
