The Legacy

Via TPM, George W. Bush:
His most memorable story, one after another said, was about Barney, his Scottie:
Mindful of his new neighbors, who have had to endure as many as 650 people a day gawking at his new house in a cul-de-sac, Bush said he took Barney for a neighborhood stroll with "plastic bag on his hand" to scoop poop. That was a moment, he said, when he realized "Man, my life has changed!"
Also:
In the crowd of real estate agents in suits, housewives in jeans, students and senior citizens, Chris Clarke, 25, a salesman from Dallas, stood at the back. Like many people, he said that other speakers were better -- Colin Powell was his favorite -- but he thought Bush was good. In fact, he said, it could turn out that Bush may be more suited to motivational speaking than being president. He said when Bush misspeaks, it sounds "incompetent if you are president. But here it can be inspiring. It makes him seem like a regular guy, no better than me."

You know, you really don't need to put the plastic bag on your hand until it's time to clean up. Unless you like walking the cul-de-sac with your hand in poop bag.

Cul-de-sac sounds kinda French

George Bush is no better than a Salesman from Dallas!

One wishes that phrase had been part of the presidential debates.

J- I like to think he was walking around with the plastic bag on his hand AFTER the poop retrieval.

Yeah, that's good. Now I have in my mind the image of Bush on his cul-de-sac outing, waving to and shaking hands with neighbors. "I'm just an ordinary guy now! A firm handshake and a look in the eye, just like with Putin!"

Somewhere I saw a great picture from Montreal at a previous speaking gig that had a bin of shoes.

whether he has a plastic bag or not, he's got shit all over his hands.

Then he scratched his ear and it got inside his head.

Without a word of a lie,capcha is "indog".

shaking hands with neighbors
Unless they are bald, in which case they'd better get used to having their scalps rubbed.
I shudder to think what nicknames Bush has made up for his neighbours by now. Especially the slow ones who made the mistake of shaking hands before they realised that he was still clutching the bag full of poo.

I refuse to believe you could fit any more shit in that melon.
