what will this be like: "FORMER PRESIDENT George W. Bush"?
What will ol' Dubya do? How will the media coverage the disgraced ex-prez after 12 noon on 1/20 next year? Will he be choppin wood, fishin with poppy, maybe jumping out of planes like his old man? Its gonna so weird hearing the style "former president" on TV, but will have the best ring to it ever, second to nothing in front but he did become president so thats not possible.

1. Carlyle Group
He'll go back to the ranch, and show up a few meetings a year to Carlyle Group. Poppy has made SO much money last eight years as a Carlyle Group partner, mainly on oil deals in ME. No one in that family will ever have to do an honest day's work, that's for damn sure.

And he'll make speeches to sycophantic Republicans, waiting together for the Rapture.

4. He'll sell his bogus ranch and head to some swank
Dallas area gated community where he'll spend his days chugging Jack Daniels and telling raunchy jokes while sitting at the 19th hole of some snooty country club. When his bank account gets a little low, he'll emerge long enough to do some speechifying in front of some corporate wienies.

I frankly don't give a damn what he does, as long as I never have to hear about it.

5. Commissioner of Baseball. . .
that's where I imagine he'll end up -- in a couple of years, when Bud Selig retires.

Other than that (if he does get appointed Commissioner) that's all we'll hear from him after he leaves. Few people want to hear from him anymore and the Democrats in charge (this time next year!) won't want him anywhere near them. He may be offered some good will ambassadorship in light of some natural disaster, but I can't imagine he'll even want to fill a figurehead role, especially when the peoples' hatred becomes increasingly visible and unrestrained.

7. No, that's not the correct designation. It's
"he who must not be named".

"You know who" is acceptable for informal occassions.

9. He'll take after his ancestor Franklin Pierce, who famously said at the end of his term...
"There's nothing left to do but get drunk."

10. He'll be a private man, only surfacing to give high paid speeches
That's pretty much what he does now. But his airplane will be smaller.
