Why is Nedra Pickler (AP) calling this Bush's "last." campaign?

[Eric J in MN]

Are we supposed to believe that Bush won't be speaking at the 2008 RNC on behalf of the next slimeball his party nominates?

"Bush labors to save GOP in last campaign

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Twenty-eight years after his first campaign, George W. Bush is waging his last. If the polls are right, the president could wind up experiencing the sting of defeat for the first time since that 1978 race."

1. Maybe she knows the AWOL prick will be impeached?

:evilgrin:

[marmar]

2. Because he'll be on trial at the Hague for the next one?

We can hope and dream.... :think:

[eleny]

5. I might even start praying!

[marmar]

7. Teehee

:)

[rurallib]

3. no need to campaign after being installed as emporer

bet you thought he was leaving public life?

[WestSeattle2]

4. Probably because the smirk will be persona non grata by then

even by the repug "faithful".

[Eric J in MN]

6. Unfortunately, I can picture Bush walking out on stage...

...in Minnesota at the 2008 RNC to a long-lasting standing ovation.

[marmar]

9. About half of that ovation...

will come via closed-circuit television from Leavenworth, KS. Many of the delegates will be calling that city home by then. :evilgrin:

[WestSeattle2]

12. Sadly I have to agree....

the "morans" who will attend that convention, are the same fools who worship and genuflect before their village idiot today......

:puke:

[Olney Blue]

8. "Sting of defeat"

He has no idea what REAL pain feels like.....

[Demit]

10. I doubt Bush would do anything on behalf of the next nominee, if it

didn't somehow benefit him. This campaign now is to salvage Repubs in Congress to benefit himself, to get some more things done from his agenda. After he closes the book on his Presidency, it's off to Paraguay. Screw the party. And I'm sure the feeling will be likewise.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. The best thing he could do to benefit anyone is get lost.

[WestSeattle2]

13. I think a 12 hour security shift in Sadr City would do him good...nt

[FrenchieCat]

14. Nedra Pickler is an AP Media Whore....which are the worse kind...

cause AP news goes everywhere.

She's a Bush Bot, and probably all panicked right about now! :eyes:

[cali]

17. Nah,

Pickler's no bushbot, even if she's not a terribly good journalist, and of course it's bush's last campaign. He'll be gone in 2 years, and completely hamstrung for his last 2.

[windbreeze]

15. an attempt to garner sympathy??? uh uh...not happening...n/t

[AJH032]

16. "I'm not resentful, nor am I resentful..."

"I'm not resentful, nor am I resentful that a lot of Democrats are using my picture."

Huh?

[Eric J in MN]

20. Bush means that Democrats are using his photo in ads...

...to indicate it's time for a change.

[AJH032]

21. yeah, I got that part

It's the "I'm not resentful, nor am I resentful" part that I say "huh?" to.

[Eric J in MN]

22. He's claiming that he's not resentful of Republicans

...running away from him, nor of Democrats using his photo in negative ads.

[Totally Committed]

18. It IS his last campaign...

After this election, he has no others. He will (thankgawd) retire when this term is done.

It'll be interesting to see what he does as a retired POTUS. Jimmy Carter is busy making peace, and building houses for the poor; Bill Clinton is tackling AIDS in Africa. I wonder what Georgie will do? He'll probably do what his father does, and sit on the boards of a bunch of corporations, but it is left to be seen, I guess....

19. Election pretenses will be dropped after they pull this one

Manufacturing of reality to seem we still have a democracy will become moot once the power is seized completely. Watch for "unitary power" to become "God given"
