BS: Bush gets his Golden Parachute!!

Well, here we are just weeks before Bush walks out the door & turns the Company over to a new CEO. Usually a package has already been prearranged but it seems with this turnover a new deall is in the works. So Oil has been fantastic, highest prices ever & profits are soring through the roof. Social Security didn't fall into the private sector but it sure is a mess & Insurance is doing quite well dispite the millions that can't get covered.
Now Georgie is walking & making a bee line to the banks, his bank or banks. Daddy's investing in the restructing industry & planning on making a killing. That's the new business on the emirging horizon, the Department of Finicial Reconstruction. The rebuilding of America & the American economy. Georgie gets to walk off with his package, off into the sunset while he leaves behing the worst Ship of State ever.

Donuel, where's the cartoon??????

Isn't this a joke,,,,,,,,,,,,,please say it's a joke?????

He gets to go out like Shane on horse back, not a peep, not an impeachment, not one war crime, not one bullet to the brainless, not one fucking day in jail, say it ain't so!!!!!!!

Where's the justice, where's the Law????? Where Home Land Security, don't let him out of your sight ,,or cross hairs!!!

Like a prairie dog going down a desert hole

So while the economy turns to shit right in front of our eyes, he's gonna do his best to see that his party keeps partying that way he'll disappear in peace, not need for a golden handshake or pardon, no need to say "don't leave town", not even a word about "what a fucking lousy job you did" & "what a mess you've made & let US with"

As Stan said in the Oliver, Hardy Show, "Gee Olie" & that's it, the shows over folks, goodnite.

I think some people would prefer he had a lead one...

He will spend the rest of his life, collecting for the favours he arranged for his friends while he was in office.
He'll be on the board of Halliburton within months, and more sinecures will follow.
It will be just like serving in the Texas national Guard, he'll get the bucks, and dodge the duties.

Has anyone noticed how haggard he looks these days? He's probably lucky that his term is almost over because he doesn't look as though he'd last another year in this job.

When he started showing the strain - about 4 years ago, I think - it made me feel better that he is at least not completely clueless.

He's worried Ebbie, but only that he may be found out before he escapes.
Maybe he's digging a tunnel?

Now that's an interesting image: a tunnel leading down to the river where a small, low boat manned by a small man in dark clothing awaits him. But where can he go? Ya can't row to Switzerland.

I'm on it (Bernecke, Cox and Paulson are happily pouring money down a well with Bush Cheney oil rigs pumping back up to their truck named financial recover corp driven by GHWB with a line of wall street CEO's holding out their empty gas cans.)

BY THE WAY

The 10 million dollar Sarah Palin TV show extravaganza is on tonight.

He's not going to get the bail out he wants. So far, Congress is revolting against him and Paulsen. It is refreshing to see!

Though, Barry, I agree...he should be held accountable NOW and not let to go without any consequences. I just got a DVD in the mail. It was free and can be had by request at Impeach Play dot com. You may also watch it online at that link. It's what so many of us would like to see happen.

Ebbie,
I think the man is depressed when you refer to how haggard he looks. Depressed in that he will no longer be God of his country. Imagen to loose all that power and not wanting to hand in your keys.

The Bail out blues

(spoken)
Alcoholic Wall St.
went on a bender.
Whew did they get drunk.
They passed out cold on the Street

When they woke up
they went to their blender
without booze their poor heart sunk
they looked in the fridge then they threw up

(sung)
They lost all they had
other people's homes
and a billion loans.
The economy looked bad

The Bush Brokers had an idea
We know how to bail you out
A Trillion dollar drink
is what its all about

The neighbors all chipped in
and the Bush brokers bought the booze
they opened Wall Street's mouth
and poured the green gold ooze

Give a drunk some alcohol
like money down the kitchen sink
Ask them why they need your money
they'll smile but they won't blink



Chorus
Hands in the air you taxpaying jerk
I need all your dough
Hurry up you ass holes
and no one here gets hurt.

That would be Charon, come to ferry him across river Styx?

Y'know, I really can't be bothered worrying what happens to him next. I just have some unsolicited and undiplomatic advice to the American electorate: "DON'T VOTE STUPID!!!"

please

"DON'T VOTE STUPID!!!"

Punctuation, please!

Do you mean

"Don't vote for Stupid"
A particular candidate

"Don't vote (in a) Stupid (manner)"
General useful caution to think before voting

or

"Don't Vote! Stupid!"
which may refer to a large portion of the US population...

:-P

I think what Willie-O was saying could be expressed more grammatically and unambiguously as:

DON'T VOTE STUPIDLY!

When arrogance mates with stupidity you get a dangerous hybrid like W. Easily manipulated but acts out his delusions of grandeur in what he percieves as an endless series of gotcha moments.

I have been reading your comments and no one has mentioned his actual golden parachute. He created a $20,000,000 golden parachute for himself. It seems to me that we(Amercans) should try to stop him from getting it. It's just a drop in the bucket..it's the principle. It would feel good to have the last word. Any ideas?

Ah Barry, But when he dies, he will think about all the innocent Iraqis he has killed, and he will KNOW which direction he is headed.
