Bush on Retirement: "I'll Give Some Speeches, Just to Replenish the Ol' Coffers."

Jerry and Joe Long|"I'll Give Some Speeches, Just to Replenish the Ol' Coffers."



Just when you feel impenetrably numb to the delusional ravings of our Punk In Chief, comes a sentence so multilayered in obscenity, so richly textured with arrogance and solipsism as to make Ayn Rand look like Albert Schweitzer.

Let's put aside the coffers of thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis now eternally empty. Let's put aside the refugees who left their coffers behind when they fled. Let's put aside the amputees at Walter Reed who can no longer grip their coffers. Let's even put aside that his major domestic initiative centers on denying health care to children whose coffers exceed twice the poverty limit.

No, for any student of the career of George W, the true cause for projectile vomiting can be found in the word "replenish". This is a man who, from buying tropical plants to specializing in dry holes to responsibility-free board appointments to being given his own baseball team, has never done anything to plenish his coffers in the first place.

And...wait for it...he is going to give speeches. Speeches! Charitably, he has had perhaps three thoughts in the past seven years. And he has used them in every lip sucking spittle-encrusted yammer. Smugly flipping through his sentence per page binder, finding it "interesting" that Japan is now an ally and "fully" understanding that war is "tough". Ahh the comatose stares around the Carlyle Group's banquet hall, as member's struggle not to pass out in their omelets during the brunch speaker's power point presentation "Oceans Don't Protect Us".

1. Who's going to write his speeches for him once he's left our White House?

Who's going to prompt him?

Hmmm...

3. Joe Scarborough said this morning that Chimpy is worth 21 million.
I guess that's not enough to keep your coffers filled.

5. Hopefully, the only forum available to him will be Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London, alongside
Tony Blair.

9. Say what?
Will he do this from accommodations at The Hague? Perhaps, unless he can escape to that Paraguayan land his family may have bought. Or maybe Hillary Clinton will send him to oversee the withdrawal from Iraq? I think he is trying to throw us off the scent. He is going to vanish early in the morning of January 20, 2009 before several dozen countries publish warrants for his arrest. His pension will be sent for direct deposit in a Swiss bank account. He will live out his retirement quietly wherever he lands is my prediction.

Let him live off his other illegal gains.
