I Think It's Time For the Resignation Pool--Claim Your Date Here

[Demeter]

It's time to make your best guess as to when George Walker Bush is directed to the egress of the White House. If we should experience clumping around certain days, then hours and minutes can be selected--but just as a first, rough cut, pick the month and day and year. Last possible day: December 31, 2008.

You can pick a day of special significance to you, or to history. You can consult the stars, the Tarot cards, or your favorite random number generator. Jokers are wild, folks, so take a chance on fame, glory, and prognostication! There is no entrance fee, no monetary gain or loss.

Put the date in standard US format: MM/DD/YYYY and then your handle:

Example:

Friday before Thanksgiving 2007. A big part of that Friday newsdump!

5. 07/04/2007

A Fourth we'll never forget!

[Just-plain-Kathy]

9. I was think the same thing.

I was thinking...what's the next holiday where the public is so busy, they wouldn't be paying attention.

[rosesaylavee]

20. Isn't that also *'s birthday?

Ewwwww.

[ThatsMyBarack]

35. No, I think it's the 6th.

My dear coworker shares the same birthday. :(

[BlueIris]

36. Yes, it's the 6th.

Blech.

[rosesaylavee]

37. I remember now... you are right.

He just ruins that week by celebrating his damn day all week long.

[cascadiance]

63. He was born the day before Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter got married!

Check it out. They were married on 7/7/46 and Bush was born on 7/6/46!

That sort of potential curse makes one appreciate their coming 61st anniversary 7/7/7 this year that much more!

[Hawkeye-X]

74. And my sister does -- hope Chimp's history will be rewritten

simply as *.

[Turbineguy]

45. July 4th seems good to me

that way the day will be about George instead of the whole fucking country.

[Dinger]

48. Me Too - I'll Be In D.C. That Day!

[knight_of_the_star]

6. I'll say never

I doubt he would let go of power willingly even if he comes under impeachment. He's just too damn hardheaded.

[Demeter]

11. Nobody said it had to be of his own free will, now, did they?

I'm all in favor of armed Marines, detailed out of Walter Reed, myself.

[knight_of_the_star]

24. When you said resignation

I was thinking a Nixonian type of resignation at best, and I even doubt he has the dignity to do that.

[Hot_Wheels_Dude]

7. 08/16/07 hot_wheels_dude

I can't imagine shrub resigning on the Fourth of July though as that would almost seem like an act of patriotism. We all know he isn't capable of THAT!

[movonne]

8. 4/20/07

[Demeter]

10. Really?

That Would Be GREAT!

Watergate was rather precipitous--I remember waking up one morning to find that the world had changed with hardly a warning (but I had a crappy local paper, which wouldn't print anything that didn't bleed or rub a local ego).

[elocs]

12. I hope I am wrong, but reality says he won't resign. Time will tell. n/t

[Bjornsdotter]

13. 8/31/07

...It would be the best birthday gift ever.

Cheers

[Spinzonner]

14. Can't we make it retroactive ?

[Botany]

16. 01/20/09

That piece of shit isn't going ANYWHERE!

[YDogg]

34. agreed, unfortunately

[xultar]

39. Ditto. That fuck aint't quittin'.

[JohnnyLib2]

49. You got it. Damn it.

[rzemanfl]

17. The day after he pardons Libby. n/t

[la la]

18. 7/6/07 la la

holiday/Friday news dump

[Mnemosyne]

21. Sorry la la, * will never resign on

his birthday. :evilgrin:

:hi:

[rateyes]

19. 00/00/xxxx

It ain't gonna happen.

[rep the dems]

22. I'm hoping for 7/21/07. The same day Voldemort dies.

But unfortunately I expect it will be 1/20/09. Sorry.

[Demeter]

28. LOL! Now THAT Would Be Life Imitating Art!

[Labors of Hercules]

64. The English would laugh their asses off!

We'll be Goddamned lucky if he decides that he's done playing President when he's supposed to...

26. 12/12/2007 n/t

[Eurobabe]

27. This dumb shit is too stubborn to resign

He'll be removed in handcuffs and tossed out of the oval office before he admits defeat.

Look at his management style.

[Demeter]

29. Care to Put a Date on That?

Forced resignations count in this pool!

[Eurobabe]

51. OK, forced resignation in handcuffs, 10/3/07 12:00pm

[ddeclue]

30. 09/11/2007 ??? Going for the Irony Factor here...

[renie408]

31. They won't be able to get Bush out of the White House with a crowbar.

He isn't going anywhere. Maybe if he gets impeached, but that is looking less and less likely to happen. I think, for one thing, that as long as the Dems think they can keep him under control and that they are fairly certain to win the WH in '08, they won't put that much energy into getting Bush out.

[whistle]

32. 09/11/2007

[madokie]

33. I say the bush* cartel will be all but gone by the fourth of july this year

[paparush]

57. Could you pass me some of what you are smoking?

'Cause you are obviously high as a kite to thing Bush will ever leave office before his term expires (if then even).

There is no political will, on either side of the isle, to take on Rove/Bush. And...the big hitters are making too much money off the war to pull the plug on this cash cow bonanza.

[madokie]

77. I respectfully disagree

I heard the same things way back in the summer of '74 concerning dick nixon. once people wake up which they are at an alarming rate bush* and co won't last long. I guess we'll be seeing if I'm right soon enough

[paparush]

80. madokie - I really do hope you are right.

My 12 year old is NOT going to die fighting for these corporate greedy fascists...

[madokie]

81. me too. right now hope is one of the few things we still have

and they're chipping away at that a little at a time and its about all gone but I do still have some. Even if I live to be a hundred I'll never live long enough to understand why these squatters are still in our House.

[ThatsMyBarack]

38. Anytime REALLY REALLY SOOOOOONNN!! danagsk8

Show up at the WH with an arrest warrant!!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

40. I'm going for Sunday, 09/02/2007. The Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

His last chance for a holiday weekend news dump, before September 11. He won't have the nerve, by that time, to attend any ceremony for this most heinous crime, so will leave it up to VP(Cheney? Who knows) to solemnly and publicly recognize the date.

Or not. :-) MKJ

41. 1/20/09 -HooptyWagon

chimpolini will resign an hour before he has to turn over the WH, so President Cheney can pardon him in his only official act as President. c'mon - don't ya'll see this coming?

[Why Syzygy]

55. Reasonable scenario.

But a President can't pardon anyone for Crimes Against Humanity. ;)

[CrazyOrangeCat]

42. 10/31/07 CrazyOrangeCat

[frogcycle]

43. July 15, 2007 frogcycle - but 'tain't gonna happen - unless

the only scenario I can envision is that as the pressure mounts and more of his neverland empire crumbles, he actually has a breakdown. Does something so wacko that his aides can't hide it. Like Nixon talking to pictures, only more demonstrably cracked, and public. And then they would have to contrive a "doctor's orders" thing wherein he can deny any failure, but lay it all on "this unfortunate health issue." He is absolutely incapable of admitting failure; that has been demonstrated throughout his life. That's why he wants a "War Czar" - someone he can blame five minutes after his confirmation.

If that comes to pass, I'd say about three months from now - July 15, 2007. And it depends much more on whether the dems keep ratcheting it up than on anything else. Every time he thinks he's dodged an issue they need to come at him from another angle.

It also depends on whether they can nail rove. If they manage to pry him away from bush, bush will implode quickly.

[hlthe2b]

44. Wow... hope springs eternal around here...I wish, but..........hlthe2b

And have never and will never wish harder that I am wrong about something!

[blogslut]

46. 08/08/74

Oops, I mean 08/09/07. Call me sentimental. :)

[Cleita]

47. I'm with those who think he won't resign, but I do think

he will be forced from office before his term is up. I believe he's having a mental breakdown as his words and behavior have demonstrated in the past year and unca' Dick is going to have him removed probably to a hospital. We of course won't know much about the real reasons. We will be told he's gravely ill or something like that. I've never been good at pinning down dates on possible future events, but I think it will be before summer is over.

[ThomWV]

50. Mid July this year - maybe 7/15/07

I don't see him lasting any longer than that.

[Lint Head]

54. 09/07/07 votesomemore

Things will get worse after that. For just awhile. It will take some time to recover from his destruction. Think about what we do know. How much more there is we don't.

[flyarm]

56. he will never resign..resigning will see him at the Hague..he will never resign..he needs a rethug

in 2008 to protect his ass from his complicity in 9/11

i say it again..he will never resign!!

fly

[Vinca]

58. I agree - and I hope I'm wrong. nt

[DesertRat]

59. I don't think he'll ever resign. n/t

[cascadiance]

60. 07/07/07 has a lot of significance...

It will be a FITTING present for:

1 - George Bush on his birthday 7/6
2 - Cindy Sheehan on her birthday 7/10
3 - Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter on their wedding anniversary 7/7 (do many of you know that they got married the day after Bush was born? A bit of trivia for you!)

and what better day and more lucky day in history moving forward than 7/7/07!!! And therefore a gift to the rest of us!

[ClayZ]

62. I like this one! K and R

I am going to stay on it with you! (with your permission)

[The Count]

68. I went with July 1st, but I like yours better!

[JTFrog]

92. Also Live Earth

day.

[Kablooie]

61. NEVER NEVER NEVER! He's immune from impeachment so why should he resign and admit he was wrong?

He's going to fill out his full term and leave "honorably" with a big smile on his face knowing that he leaves the US government unalterably corrupted forever.

And just watch. NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

[stevedeshazer]

65. 08-09-07. God has a sense of humor. n/t

[CitizenLeft]

70. 04/11/08 (CitizenLeft)

He won't be doing it willingly; he will be visited by a bi-partisan delegation that will tell him, resign or be impeached. And *POOF!* ...he's gone!

[Canuckistanian]

71. 01/15/08 Canuckistanian

Simply becuase he's s that stubborn and much sand will be thrown in umpires' faces.

[Double T]

89. February 8, 2008, BOTH bush and cheney will be forced to resign in disgrace

bush will fly to his exile compound in Paraguay, while cheney will fly to Dubai, UAE to assume the throne at Halliburton's World Headquarters.

[Loge23]

That's our 25th anniversary!
What a present that would make!
