Candice Bergen Prescribes Bush a 'Chill' Pill

In response to: The morning after ... What should post-presidency George W. Bush do from here?

George W. Bush should BE QUIET. For a long time. Then be appointed baseball commissioner. Play golf. Chill with his buds.

Absolutely. Silence would be golden. Golf with friends sounds good. Anything but politics.

I couldn’t agree more with Candice! Eight years of listening to Dubya spout you-know-what is MORE than enough for me!

Stay in Texas and speak when only spoken to.

I completely agree except for one thing — don’t make him commissioner of baseball, he would sink that institution too!

Exactly, Lil. We’ve already got that dummy, Bud Selig, ruining the great game of baseball. Who can forget his declaring a tie a few years ago at the All-Star Game?!

I doubt he’s going to say much for awhile…. he seemed happy to leave!

Sorry, but he was our president for 8 years, show a little respect. I know it is hard for a lot of you but you haven’t lost anyone since 9/11 so give thanks. Let’s move on, Bush bashing is over. Let’s look for someone else to give it too. at

I agree with Candace (with the exception of being Baseball Commissioner)! It’s unfortunate we couldn’t get him to be quiet while he was president!! As for us not losing anyone since 9/11, I guess we should disregard the thousands we’ve lost in combat!

Why is it that so many of you on this site, can do nothing but bash, debase others. You display nothing but hate. It accomplishes nothing. Problems of this nation will only be solved when ideas are discussed, to find solutions.

Robert- I agree. What is interesting and perhaps ironic is that those who “bash ” rarely indicate their first and last name. Those who try to provide information or to discuss ideas usually post with their first and last name shown. I like discussions however I do expect people to take the time and actually READ the posts written before responding to an individual. I can’t tell you the many times that people responded to my post without reading what I posted. They say that I said this and that…… putting words in my mouth…..when if they took the time to read my post they would realize that’s not the case at all. Anyway welcome Robert and thank you for stating the obvious. Peace.

My name is Dabney Ione Crowe and I hope GW Bush never has a decent day of his life. I hope he feels the pain of all of the wounded, maimed, burned and tortured servicemen and women he sent to Iraq on a liar’s mission. I hope he feels the weight of the misery of all of the families who lost loved ones by the firepower of our military that the people of Iraq have had to endure. No,,,,My dislike runs long and deep. I must have a grudge gene and it rears it’s head sometimes. It is certainly doing so now. No rest for this man and for Cheney ever!!!!!
