Bushes already moved out of White House

Ahead of schedule, George and Laura Bush have packed up and sent out most of their things.

The letters thread is now closed.

So long!

Bye-bye, Shrub! Don't let the door hit your a** on the way out! Personally, I'm ready to party, party, party.

Wonder how much damage they'll do this time?

Reportedly, after Herbert Walker surrendered the White House to the Clinton administration, the Clintons discovered a substantial amount of petty vandalism, most likely coordinated by Junior. The apocryphal damage described by Junior Bush's spokesmen after the Clintons departed echoed what had actually been done to the Clintons.

Puppet and Stepford wife

Good riddence.

Except for the trolls, you Salon readers are the best. We finally get an enlightened populous capable of electing a black man, only to descend into economic disaster. Now we'll get to see 'The content of his character'.

Don't let the door smack you in the behind as you leave!

Today should be called "Inauguration Eve." Will it also be "Pardon Day?"

This indicates how seriously he takes the job....

...he doesn't.

did they discover any 'missing' stuff?

As they sorted and packed, did they discover any missing stuff, like e-mails or evidence of Saddam's WMD?

Seriously, I bet Cheney moved out mountains of evidence under cover of darkness...

Sticking with the library theme...

Bush checked out a long time ago.

Monday, January 19, 2009 08:04 AM

Why they left early

to avoid arrest.

Monday, January 19, 2009 08:04 AM

FINALLY!

After 8 long years of getting everything wrong, Bush finally gets a clue and realizes no one wants him hanging around.

Addios

Here's your hat.....What's your hurry.....

AMF...

Moved out last Summer?

Considering that the Bush's generally spent Thrusday night through Monday Morning at Camp David, and were on vacation for weeks (months) on end, how did anyone even know they were gone?

Monday, January 19, 2009 08:38 AM

Not too late to say goodbye

Please take a moment to wish the President farewell as he leaves the White House:

Yeah, but what about

Cheney?

Monday, January 19, 2009 08:55 AM

About freak'n time

I hope that scumbag ex prime minister of Australia whose presence bumped the our new president and his family out of Blair house causing them to stay in a fucking hotel, costing US taxpayers millions in extra security, so he could receive a fake medal from his right wing lame duck, lame human, stooge buddy is happy too.

Hope he falls into a barby pit.

early move

No, moving stuff out under cover of darkness would be Sandy Bergers job not Cheneys. No,

wait, he did it broad daylight, just stuffed those classified documents in his socks, then behind some construction equipment outside until he could come back for it. But he just "forgot". Guess now we never know what Clinton knew about 9/11 before it happened.

As for letting the Obamas move in earlier, how arrogant is he to expect it!!! Are we making him king or a public servant? Good thing I have lots of books to read. I cant watch television this week. Nothing on but the coronation. I voted for him, but am regretting it already.

Dewey?

Hmmm; maybe Laura's Chief of Staff should have specified the Library of Congress system. This is a Federal establishment we're talking about here! ;-)

To quote Bugs Bunny:

"Don't think it hasn't been a little bit of heaven!

'Cause it hasn't."

@ Citizen_X

Ah, you're my hero!

Bugs is great- the ultimate smart-ass.

Another one that fits:

"I never forget a face, but in your case, I'll make an exception!"

I just hope that the 40 metric tonnes...

...of sage bundles arrives in time, and that they don't burn the place down when they cast out all the evil spirits.

And that's gonna be some job, too. The smoke will probably be visible from space.

Monday, January 19, 2009 09:40 AM

I doubt that Bush will spend more than a month a year in the US

He's planning on moving to Dubai.

Monday, January 19, 2009 09:43 AM

Need any more Boxes Bush?

Remember the day Bush was Inaugurated in 2000? Yes it was a sad day! But during the procession as the cars paraded down Penn Ave., Bush didn't get out of the car supposedly because of the "controversial" recount in Florida and Eggs were thrown at his car. It would only be fitting if someone were to toss eggs at his car as he leaving the White House. Good Bye you sorry sorry pathetic little man!

Monday, January 19, 2009 09:49 AM

Usually I don't listen to space aliens.

But in this case you might be right.

I was reading an article the other day which predicted that, unlike other presidents, Bush was not likely to get an cushy jobs or speaking engagements. He will be short of money, his sugar daddies gone, he will move to where his real countrymen are, Dubai.

It also sorta rhymes with W.

Monday, January 19, 2009 10:17 AM

I can't imagine the Bushes ever being

short of money.

Monday, January 19, 2009 06:55 PM

@sljonez

Eggs? Are you crazy? Eggs are expensive in this economy!

Shoes, my friend. Throw shoes.

I'm just sitting here reading this headline over and over again. I'm so glad I lived to see this day.
