Too bad. It would've been the first day of real work in his life.

7. Some DUer got mad at me when I called him ''Monkey,'' so I had to use his fratboy nick.

George W Bush really was B.M.O.C. a ways back...

Know your BFEE: George W Bush did "community service" at Project P.U.L.L.

9. He was born with a silver spoon in his nose

Okay, so I'm one-upping the late, great Ann Richards, but it has to be said.

2. Does he have Secret Service protection?

I thought I read that SS protection for ex-presidents ended, after Clinton.

8. Dunno. That lady in the back of the photo looks like she's calling security.

The crazy warmonger looks like he's just been caught shoplifting.

12. I think they get 10 years only, after Clinton. bu$h shouldn't get any and he shouldn't get a

pension either. Not after what he did to the economy, or simply because he was NEVER legally elected.

11. There are few jobs for drunk drivers.

After he drove America into a gasoline tanker,
I wouldn't trust that guy to clean a bathroom,
let alone park a car.

How did a crazy wastrel become pretzeldent?
The guy's connected.

13. People "Welcomed" him into their store? WTF?

..Why this guy isn't in prison is beyond me. He should not be out in public walking around.. he is anti-social and a hardened criminal.

Everyone gets all excited and grabs their children when a sexual predator moves into the neighborhood, yet when a frat-boy world criminal moves in.. the press does happy-talk stories.

15. I'm thinking the "people" who welcomed him were store employees

who didn't have much choice in the matter.
Look at the picture. All you see around him looks like security people and employees.
Given the part of town it is in, there is little or no chance of their customer base being very happy to see him...low income/high crime part of Dallas. Right around the corner from the county hospital.

I'm just glad he went on the weekend so my bus route that passes the store (on my way to work) didn't get screwed up by his motorcade and security.
