Not even a month after leaving office, former president George W. Bush has joined the lecture circuit. However he hasn't strayed far his from presidential style: Bush has banned the public and media from his first post-presidential speaking event, and he's scheduled to speak in what a political science professor says is friendly territory.

1. I hope Canada doesn't give him political asylum!

[chill_wind]

3. Me too. Sure would beat having to move all the way to Paraguay where

he wouldn't be able to speak English. Oh wait- he doesn't speak it all that great anyway.

Heh. Heh. .....

5. Insane asylum, more like. nt

2. Could he not be stopped at the border and placed under arrest?

I know we'd have to assure Canada he wouldn't be executed, but surely charges can be filed in the next month and the cuffs could be slapped on him--just gotta make sure the press is there to take the pictures we've all anticipated for far too long!

6. They should drag him to The Hague from there

8. Where did he find friendly territory in Canada?

I thought they "liked him" as well as we do....:sarcasm:

9. Alberta's pretty conservative

relative to the rest of the country.

10. I'm still shocked that SOMEBODY is actually paying him to speak!

Maybe they're doing it for the comedians. He really did give the comedians their lines for 8 years!

11. We can just hope

they're giving him all the pretzels he can eat.

12. Will they hand out Nerf shoes to all the guests?

Just in case:rofl:

[oldnslo]

13. He's a joke to Canadadians--it must be a comedy gig......

[WI_DEM]

14. Canadians are willing to see this freak?

[chill_wind]

16. Seriously, there should be a public watch website

tracking various potentially meaningful political activity. A Cheney one, too.

17. Heard on the radio this am that he was going to talk about the

accomplishments of his administration. That should be a mighty short speech.
