1. FORMER President Bush has a very nice ring to it.
I like Defendant Bush even better, though.

6. "FORMER" President Bush reminds me of Ice-T's line in "New Jack City"...
...as he's considering arresting of "removing" Wesley Snipes.

Fans of the movie know the EXACT line I'm referring to,

3. His official title should never change
To me, he'll always be "the Usurper."
