Is anyone else going to party like it's 1999 when the Chimp leaves

[demgrrrll]

office? I have some friends in the UK who tell me it was madness at the pubs when Thatcher left office. I wonder if that will happen here. I sure could get into a night of popping champagne corks, or twist off caps or pull tabs. Or.......are you so worn down by the bs that you will not be able to get off the couch.

[NastyRiffraff]

1. My friends and I have already planned a party!

I can't WAIT!

[demgrrrll]

2. What are you going to do? I can't wait either.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. Starting out with pizza...

..to fortify our stomachs against alcohol poisoning, then meeting others in our favorite pub. The owner there hates Bush too, so it'll be a barwide celebration! And, the bar has rooms upstairs where we can all pass out afterwards.

[demgrrrll]

17. what a great night.

[MissDeeds]

3. We'll probably celebrate

but it's going to be bittersweet considering how many people died for his lies. The real celebration will come when the little despot is finally tried and convicted for his crimes. I know...I'm not holding my breath.

[unsavedtrash]

4. End of an Error party!

Sounds like a great idea!

[swoop]

5. You may as well party now.

You know he HAS to go in a year.

[Maddy McCall]

6. Depends who's being sworn in upon his exit.

If it's McCain, probably not. :(

If it's any Democrat, HELL YES. :party:

[sandnsea]

21. Even McCain will be better than Bush

Romney, not so much. McCain will be awful on the war and some social programs. But on corruption, environment, immigration, he'll be better than Bush so I'll still mark the day.

[Maddy McCall]

23. To you.

Not to me. I've got a 14 year old son.

[sandnsea]

26. I've got sons too

But I also have grandchildren. At least he'll work on leaving a cleaner planet for them, so that's better than Bush.

[Maddy McCall]

29. If they're alive after Iran.

[sandnsea]

31. bomb bomb bomb

McCain isn't sending ground forces into Iran.

[sandnsea]

7. If Obama is inaugurated

I'm going to DC. I've already decided that. I haven't thought of a Bush leaves office party. Hmmm. I'm going to have to give that some serious thought. Definitely a day that needs to be marked in some way.

[Initech]

10. If *ANY* democrat is inagurated...

I will be going to DC as well. Once these fuckers leave office it will be a time for celebration.

[sandnsea]

18. It's a huge expenditure for me

It has to be something pretty extraordinary for me to dig up the funds to fly across the country, etc. I'd do it for Obama. Otherwise I'll have to concoct some sort of cleansing ceremony on the beach!

[AlphaCentauri]

8. Not me

There are so many thing to fix that there will be no reason to celebrate.

[Sadie5]

12. What a party it will be

The people can egg the moving van as it rolls down Pennsylvania street, then as Chimpys motorcade pulls away from the WH we can pelt his SUV with rotten tomato's. Better get in line folks, massive crowds are expected.

[AlphaCentauri]

30. LOL

[El Pinko]

9. Even if (God Forbid) a republican wins...

...I will definitely celebrate the day that piece of garbage leaves office.

No matter how bad a President McCain or Romney might be, neither of them could possibly be as horrifically disgraceful as Bush has been.

[tomreedtoon]

11. If Romney wins, it'll be a necktie party...

...and we'll be the only ones dancing, at the end of his rope.

Also, you forget, Bush will never be prosecuted and he's rich. He will quietly retreat and slip into a narcotic coma from which he will never awaken. Much like Reagan's Alzheimer, he will be unaware of the damange he caused or the lives he ended. At least in this life...and as for after, I think even atheists might start hoping for the existence of Hell.

We can, however, look forward to a book called "Bush: The Last Ten Days," about how addled and coked-up he was at the end. Amazon might even release it with the companion volume listed here...

13. Never will that expression "Party Like It's 1999" have more significance than when Bush leaves.

It speaks for itself.

[demgrrrll]

16. I thought about that. 2000 ended so many things.

[Rosemary2205]

25. Me too - don't even need to read the OP - title is perfect by itself.

[demgrrrll]

14. I think it is important to mark the day as someone up thread wrote

because I believe, perhaps naively that his leaving office will be a renewal of hope for me. My partying will have a tinge of I'm still standing and still willing to fight to clean up this mess.

[BlueStater]

19. I'll weep for the country he destroyed and the lives he took

And pray that, someday, he and the rest of the shitheads in his criminal administration will get their comeuppance.

[demgrrrll]

22. I understand your feelings and I too hope he gets what he deserves.

[B Calm]

20. as long as a republican doesn't steal the next election...

[lpbk2713]

24. I just checked.... 1-20-09 is a Tuesday.

It would be real considerate if they would change the inauguration to a Friday or a Saturday.

Then it really would be party time. I mean after all ... we've been waiting eight long years.

[demgrrrll]

32. I'm thinkin we can get started early.

[Richard Steele]

27. I've been partying like 1999 for 7 years, to tolerate the knowledge that the NeoCons are in power.

IF those repulsive pieces of mobbed-up puppetry
ever actually vacate the White House, I'll probably have to
REPENT like it was 999 just to break even- spend a year
sleeping under the house with no booze, eating plain rice
and whipping myself.

Lucky for me that the NeoCons ain't planning on leaving, eh?

[MrSlayer]

28. It really depends on who wins this year.

I'm not going to party all that hard if another neo-con asshole gets in there.
