Joan Ganz Cooney Cautions George Bush

I hope he disappears from view which, oddly enough, I think he has the good taste to do until he writes a book, and then we’ll be subjected to all those silly defensive interviews again.

Liz Smith to Bush: Follow in Bill Clinton's Footsteps

I would advise him to follow the example of President Clinton and devise a huge international rescue effort of some sort. There he could be effective and raise lots of money to help people the same way he managed to endow his rich friends like the people at Halliburton, etc. when he was in the White House. The only way he can erase his dismal record is to do something dramatic, just as President Clinton has done for the AIDs initiative.

He has done enough. But thanks just the same.

Candice Bergen Prescribes Bush a 'Chill' Pill

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

Marlo Thomas Can Refuse to Answer

The first thing that comes to mind is, "Go away!" But the great thing is, I don’t have to answer your question, because as of yesterday, I never have to think about George W. Bush again.

There are very few women who truly like to have their husbands home full time in retirement … and in Laura Bush’s case I would make a very large guess that FINALLY she would like ” a house of her own”. . . and a long sojourn by herself to re-think her own long-range future might be in order. If so, as a travel person, I have some wonderful ideas of places where George can’t find her!!!! But Georgie Boy … well, I figure the ranch is going to sound better than the big city … and one of these years, the smallish presidential library might keep him occupied. Of course, keeping professional librarians very long might be a problem with George nosing around too much. A book? Writing his autobiography would take years - even for the slim volume of large print. Just an idea!!! We know he will try to keep fit … which would require a secret service detail, one trained ahead of time to laugh at his jokes. Being a woman, I frankly want to keep him out of Laura’s hair as I see more hope for her coming into her own with an independent future than George. Any bets???

Stay on the ranch, not attempt to write any more poetry, and wait 30 years before attempting to choose to write a book. Possibly a new generation that has yet to be born “migjht” read it. I believe though on many levels, what we view as history with Bush, will be rewrote as he is exposed in the future. In the truth of this time, rather than the “Bushwhack” we have been lead to believe is the truth.

%$#@* !@&*^!!
Bushies To Do List: -Stock up on keggers and pretzels. -Enter grade ‘skool’ spelling bees. -Continue the hunt for OBL on the nation’s golf courses. -Buy poor Barney a little doggie hard-hat for the next time Bush drops him head first on a tarmac. -Ride his cross-country bike across the country….keep going once he reaches the ocean a la ‘Doin’ a Sully.’ -Make late-night nasty phone calls to Carla Bruni pretending to be Putin. -Partner with Palin on a new board game, “Wheel of Liberal Media Misfortune.” -Go on Jeopardy! “Nick-names for $500, Alex.” -Get pickled with Pickles.

Well, as I’ve said in the past, I think the Italians might rent us Elba. There would be room for the entire lot of ‘em, Rove, Cheney, Rummy, Condi, you know, the whole “in-crowd.” Thing is, no boats, no phones, no wi-fi, no way to communicate (pollute) the outside world. Maybe since Papa Bush is now floating Jeb for President, the entire Bush clan should also go. We could convince them it’s really Capri or something. Has to be cheaper than the $16,000,000 we’re supposed to pay to keep him alive, as though that is necessarily a good thing.

Well, MUGSY, I love what you wrote. But he needs to be held accountable for the horrifically unnecessary war in Iraq. I don’t know exactly how that should come ab out, but it is necessary to me, who is the mom of a brave soldier son.

I was thinking that exile on Elba, like Napolean, would be a life sentence.
