Bush: "Liberating" To Be Out Of Office, Picking Up Dog Poop

[Canuckistanian]

ARTESIA, N.M. — It was a humbling moment for the former commander in chief: President George W. Bush was walking former first dog Barney in his new Dallas neighborhood when it stopped in a neighbor's yard for relief.

"And there I was, former president of the United States of America, with a plastic bag on my hand," he told a group of graduating high school students in New Mexico on Thursday. "Life is returning back to normal."

"I no longer feel that great sense of responsibility that I had when I was in the Oval Office. And frankly, it's a liberating feeling," he told seniors from Artesia High School.

He doesn't "feel that great sense of responsibility"? Funny, I didn't think he'd notice any change at all.

1. At Last, a Job He's Suited and Qualified to Hold

Congrats! May you succeed beyond the wildest dreams of pooper scoopers everywhere!

20. He is qualified to pick up cigarette butts in the exercise yard in Leavenworth

I hope Bush and Cheney both get the full immersion experience of prison life as soon as possible

2. Very fitting for him, picking up dog shit. He might even be good at that-

we know he's been such a massive failure at everything else he tried.

3. He Is No Longer "The" President - Shouldn't You Use General Discussion Instead Of .......

General Discussion - Presidential - to post anything about Bush?

4. Cheney isn't the current VP, either

Yet there are MULTIPLE posts about him on GD-P.

5. I have to wonder if he handed the bag to an underling to actually

bend over and retrieve said "relief".

He left President Obama holding the proverbial "bag", and a ponderous bag it is.

6. I'm glad for Bush.

Everybody should have a job he's qualified for. For him, picking up dogshit is just the ticket.

7. It's the first time in his life he's ever cleaned up a mess he made.

8. At least he is keeping his mouth shut and basically doing what Cheney won't do, go the f-ck away.

18. The ONLY good thing he has ever done. I also think Georgie is legitmately scared

of investigations.

[Orsino]

9. Of course it is.

He's free now from even having to pretend to take responsibility for anything.

Gonna head over the border for some underage Mexican hookers?

Ah, Life is returning to normal.

us.

21. George W. Bush is a clueless boob.

By himself he is harmless, but give him the power of his father's cronies and he is a dangerously clueless boob.

Thank GOD he has been stripped of power. I'm glad he revels in his liberation.

22. Good. It's liberating that you're no longer in office.

So the feeling's mutual, Dubya. :evilgrin:

[lonestarnot]

23. He didn't even need to smear it in his own face to blend in either.
