He's become a complete marionette.
Potomac Fever? Possibly. It's driven both John McCain and Hillary Clinton completely stark raving insane.
Ah...
so?
What about our so-called allies, the Saudis, who are funding Sunni insurgents and al Qaeda itself?
bu$hCo sure is reluctant to threaten the Saudis like they threaten Iran. I guess bush is not much of a CIC, after all.
Even though it's not a laughing matter, it actually cracks me up to think that bush would invade not just one wrong country after 9/11, but two if he invaded Iran.
I think bush should be publicly and repeatedly nominated to be the US ambassador to Iraq after he's out of office. The next President could dress it up in flowery language like 'President bush always dreamed of a free & democratic Iraq. Unfortunately, the day-to-day realities of his job precluded him from concentrating solely on Iraq. Now that he's out of office, I'm nominating him to be Ambassador to Iraq so that he can give their development into a peaceful democracy his complete attention."
I bet he'd say 'no'. I'd just keep raising the issue anyway until he was finally embarrassed of being called out all the time. I expect him to barricade himself in his home once he's out of office (except for the occcasional speech to those whom he enriched while in office), but once he's gone, he should never be left alone. there should be protests everywhere he goes and future administrations should make sure to pin all of his mistakes ON HIM.

He'd have to wear brown slacks all the time.
Think about it.
Yes, bush has crapped himself on more than one occasion. Like when he stupidly remained in his classroom seat as the 9/11 attacks occurred. When Code Pink infiltrated the RNC in '04 and made a scene as he was giving his acceptance speech, I think he also inadvertently pinched a loaf. I saw the strain/fear in his eyes.
He's fundamentally not a very brave man. That's why they go to such extreme lengths to keep him out of unpredictable situations. That's why he'll have 100 secret service agents protecting him after he leaves office. However, given the financial and logistical hassles, I don't know how they plan on creating 'free speech' zones once he's out of office. I think he'll be in for a rude awakening. It'll be hilarious to watch him uselessly spin his wheels when he no longer has his protective bubble around him. The relentless embarrassment of being GW will probably drive him to drink again.
"will probably drive him to drink again"
Why the future?
Tehran trained the guys who dropped the rockets onto the Green Zone? Well some of them missed - doesn't say much for this putative 'training,' does it?
NPR reports this morning that the Iraqi Army's going to Basra to stamp out the Mahdi Army and the 'criminal gangs' that are running the south into the ground (and, by the way, funding the insurgency with stolen and smuggled oil).
Jesus Billy Joe you are giving Bush way too much credit by calling him "not a very brave man. He's a coward with the biggest yella belly you ever saw. Dude crapped in his pants on 9/11 and then spent the day flying all over the country so the terraists couldn't get him.
I just wish I was there when the secret service told him that a dud grenade landed close to him when he was in the Republic of Georgia during his first term. He probably dropped a couple logs then and there.
Yet another once honorable man destroys his reputation in the service of a Bush.
Is there anyone anywhere who has served Bush in a high capacity and not seen his or her reputation diminished? Anyone?
What I'm already heartily sick of is McCain's line about this guy being "one of the greatest American generals in history," or words to that effect. A palpable, transparent attempt to build a hero out of truly meager raw material. Blech.
Wengler,
YOu're right. I remember the grenade incident.
Bush walks around in Teflon diapers.
Bush has no room to do ANYTHING to the Chinese.
They can rape Tibet; and he will whine a little, and then go to Beijing to strut and preen like the toy soldier/fratrat he is.
Billie Joe,
Your "Bush for Ambassador" ploy is one of the best ideas I have heard in the last 5 years...
Where do I sign up?
SP
SP,
Thank you. It's sort of a more realistic evolution of a bumper sticker I read about in '04 which said: George W. bush for President - of Iraq!
I wonder if we could create an online petition for it:

cr...e_petition.html
Can anyone write something Colbert-like that sounds sincere but is in fact just a huge dis meant to rub bush's nose in the disaster he created? I could make an attempt but everyone here has writing skills that are far superior to mine. Maybe the GNb folks could do a post about it and it could spread throughout the blogosphere 
GREAT POST. I blogged it with a cool picture that I found (I always try to make a link of the pictures I find back to where they come from).
