We Need to Form a Committee
Thelma is forming a committee called the Hey, Can’t We Force George Bush to Go to Europe Committee and Caucus.
Apparently under Texas law we presently can’t and that’s just a damn shame.
A planned trip by Bush to speak at the Switzerland-based United Israel Appeal later this week has been canceled after several human rights groups called for Swiss authorities to arrest Bush and investigate him for authorizing torture. Bush has traveled widely since leaving office, but not to Europe, where there is a strong tradition of international prosecutions.
Thelma says she thinks we can tell him that one of his bathroom paintings is being hung in the Louvre and he needs to go see it. “If he knows the Louvre is in Europe, I’ll kiss a frog on the courthouse steps,” she promises.
Sounds like a plan to me.
As opposed to hanging said paintings in the loo.
1Just tell Dubya there has been massive flooding in Lucerne and they need him to fly over for a look. I figure he’ll think they said Louisiana. He’ll remember that picture of himself looking down at New Orleans last time. He’ll try to get it right this time and make them land the plane . . . .
Or he’ll just paint another nude of himself and lovingly give it
2to Dick Cheney as a consolation prize for not being allowed to destroy the rest of the world.
It amazes me to think that we have an ex-President who has to avoid countries that will arrest him for war crimes – and yet we do nothing here. The rest of the civilized world has to think we are morons.
3Next time, they should negotiate in private with the police and not tell the media. Then when the fool gets there, arrest him. And then tell the media.
4…..what Cheryl said!!!
5Bush and his cronies should be the only occupants of Gitmo. They should be subjected to the enhanced interrogation techniques which they so blithely recommended be used on others. See if they change their opinions on waterboarding and torture.
6What Cheryl AND W C Peterson said!
7And that goes double for Cheyney.
8Can’t we get W. to retire to some other location other than Crawford, TX? Like… oh, I dunno…
Baghdad, Iraq?
9I think a little round of waterboarding might do Bush and Cheney a world of good. After all, according to them, it’s only enhanced interrogation not torture.
10I agree with Cheryl, Sam and … well … all of you!
11I’m pretty sure he & his family have swiss bank accounts – just have someone make up a story about Dubya being required to go there to personally check on his money – then nab him. Too bad there isn’t any country willing to do what the USA does as standard operating procedure in other countries and kidnap him (and Cheney) and send them to a secret jail for enhanced interrogation. Bush would enjoy it since he thought torture was like a fraternity hazing.
12Some birdie of some persuasion told me that Laura Bush hates Crawford… and they never go there much anymore. Heard it was gonna be “for sale”. She’s so cosmopolitan now, after living in DeeCee, that she stays in Dallas and watches George’s paintings dry, and “does lunch with the girlfriends” a whole lot. Now that she’s a Grandmother… she can shop more. Yuk.
13Tell Thelma I want on the committee. I have some ideas…..
14O agree TalG! Bush & Cheney kept telling us how great things were going in Iraq, the least they could do is get a vacation home there, and spend a month every year in beautiful Baghdad. They’ll be greeted as liberators by their friendly neighbors.
15I’m ashamed to admit how much I enjoy the idea that W and Cheney don’t dare set foot outside the US for fear of being arrested and taken to the dock at the Hague. (Sittin’ in the dock at the Hague, watching the time drift away . . .”)
16Meanwhile, I was thinking about how Jimmy Carter’s funeral will go down. (There was an article about him today’s WaPo, where he talked about the time he has left and what he will do with it–he’s now 88.) I imagine every country on Earth will send a major representative and will absolutely pack the National Cathedral with invite-only guests. I also expect there will be memorial services held for him around the globe. Suck on that, W!
17There are a few others who coulda been arrested with him at that fete…too bad he bailed.
18If there’s one thing I don’t never want to see it’s Thelma kissing junior’s frog. But if I could see him or Cheny taking a perp walk in an orange jumpsuit with all manner of chains dragging behind them, I’d die a happy man.
19I applaud the idea of Bush leaving the country as long as it’s a one-way ticket.
20Judge Garzon would like to meet “W.” Too bad Judge Razon upset the falangists in Spain when he wanted to investigate Franco’s surviving henchmen.
There is a reason Republicans don’t have their European fundraisers in the Hague.
21Had known Haque had papers drawn up, but didn’t know they would seriously bust his ass…goody!
