Bush as Teacher  Over at the National Review on Saturday, Kathryn Jean Lopez suggested a novel future for George W. Bush after he completes his disastrous tenure in the White House. The most unpopular President in modern times, Lopez insists, would "make an awesome high-school government teacher." But leaving aside for the moment his obvious aversion to academic study and the English language (as well as the U.S. Constitution), Bush has already made up his mind about his "post-service service." Upon leaving office, President Bush has said he plans to "replenish the ol' coffers."

Ignoring the inconvenient truth that many Republicans don't want the radioactive George Bush at their own national convention in Minneapolis, the NRO's Lopez would foist him instead on America's school children:

"A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn't George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn't it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How's that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he's a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share."

Unfortunately for Lopez, President Bush has already decided that he will cash in, and not give back, when his days in the Oval Office are done.

In a series of interviews which appeared in Robert Draper's 2007 book Dead Certain, Bush confirmed that the banality - and venality - that defined his presidency will characterize his post-presidency as well:

First, Mr. Bush said, "I'll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol' coffers." With assets that have been estimated as high as nearly $21 million, Mr. Bush added, "I don't know what my dad gets - it's more than 50-75" thousand dollars a speech, and "Clinton's making a lot of money."

Then he said, "We'll have a nice place in Dallas," where he will be running what he called "a fantastic Freedom Institute" promoting democracy around the world. But he added, "I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch."

Some former presidents grow in status - and the people's esteem - only after they leave the White House. Jimmy Carter's failed term was redeemed in part by his charitable works and efforts for world peace. Bill Clinton's foundation and campaigns to battle AIDS, disease and natural disasters have made him perhaps the last globally respected American president. Even Richard Nixon's partial resurrection earned him elder statesman status.

But not President Bush. Already a small man, he will only decrease in stature as leaves the stage in Washington to "replenish the ol' coffers" and, apparently, just hang out. As Dubya put it last year, "Sixty-two is really young and yet I'll be through with my presidency."

When that time comes, Kathryn Jean Lopez has concluded, George W. Bush should bring the lessons of his failed presidency to school children. (Who knows - waterboarding kids for talking in class might even be legal in Texas.) But assuming she's not joking, in one sense she's surely right about his role in educating future generations. If nothing else, he would serve as a horrible example.

This man is a war criminal, if he won't be impeached he should be prosecuted for murder.

Does The Hague need a high school teacher?

Oh yes, Lets see him replenish his old coffers by a starting salary of maybe 25-30,000/year. If that much.
Oh and he can take his vacations during the summer only, not every couple of weeks.
And, Oh my God, he'd have to work outside of the regular school hours!
And, God forbid, he'd have to do WORK and be held accountable for his work!

That sounds like something we would read in the Onion. Bush, teach school?
He couldn't teach a cat how to cover its poop in the litter box.

What happened to the money that was in the "ol coffers"?

He'd be a bully.

I'd be very happy to see him teaching other inmates.

Maybe he can teach English.

Sorry, Ms. Lopez, I'm guessing W with his frat boy persona and snarkiness (see his nasty, snide remarks to White House reporters) wouldn't last two days with a bunch of high school kids who do not suffer fools well, and W is a major fool.

I can just imagine Bush answering questions from high-school history students.

Question: "Mr. Bush, do we have more to fear in Iraq from Sunnis or Shiites?"

Answer: "Neither, son. We have more to fear from Muslims over there."

Question: "Mr. Bush, please explain the writ of habeas corpus."

Answer: "I don't want to get rid of habeas corpus, dear...I want to disassemble it."

Attention !!!

Does Anyone have a link to that picture of bush with the upside-down book in its full size?

I'd like to have it framed.

gloria @ 7:

Maybe he can teach English.

Right after he learns it.

Kathryn Jean Lopez is asking a lot of the man. After all, thanks to him, over 4000 young Americans have already been saved from ever being jaded or cynical. Gee Kathryn, hasn't our president done enough for you?

i (hope) know this is just 'humor'... but, for me, it is not funny in the slightest.

in fact, it is riddled with complete bullshit, like:

Whatever you think of President Bush, he’s a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.

1) he is not a likable guy, i friggin LOATHE him.

2) he is not in love with his country. anyone who has strived this hard to deconstruct the country and leave it ruins can not be said to love it.

3) experience to share? does he? like? if he "shares" his experiences he would find himself charged with war crimes.

apologies for not playing along...

i am one step away from yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn (if i had a lawn)

"Unfortunately for Lopez, President Bush has already decided that he will cash in, and not give back, when his days in the Oval Office are done."

In other words, he will continue acting just like he did while in the Oval Office.

Dumbya can't read and talks like a complete moron, which he is.

I just dropped a nice load in the toilet for Bush to use to "replenish his coffers".
Should I mail it to the "WHite House", or his phony "ranch" in Tex Ass ?

I'm not sure whether Katie Jean has an overly high regard for Chimpy, or complete disrespect and distain for teachers and the work they do.

Oh great, found a copy of the full size upside-down book pic

"A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought..."

As if K-Lo has ever had a non-crazy thought!

Middle school would be pushing it. Elementary PE teacher might be the only job he would even have a shot at.

I know, I just insulted PE teachers everywhere . . my apologies.

Don't put this idiot in a classroom setting. The republicans already gave us no child left behind and if I'm not mistaken one of his brothers are mixed up with some education program that hasn't worked. It will take Georgie maybe 1 hr to replinish his account after he leaves office. Just think of all the oil money he is going to get back. He has no shame. Remember he says he has no problems sleeping at night. He and Dark Vader have a lot of blood on the hands from dead troops. Teach school, hell no he should been impeached and in jail. If he sends our troops off to Iran than I will hope they impeach this asshole.

'A totally crazy Sunday morning thought...'

Kathryn might want to learn to trust her own instincts. Or spend a little longer sleeping off Friday night.

If they failed to eat him alive it would only be because he'd have "bad" students "renditioned" to other classrooms.

I cannot stand Bush either. But while ripping him for being an idiot, the post states the convention being in Minneapolis. It is being held in St. Paul.. They are NOT the same city. But everyone identifies St. Paul, the states capitol, as Minneapolis. NOT THE SAME CITY PEOPLE.

"President Bush has already decided that he will cash in, and not give back . . ."

I think the writer meant to phrase that as "President Bush has already decided that he will continue to cash in,and not give back . . ."

Bush needs to do his post presidential service in the laundry at a large maximum security federal prison.

Bush wouldn't be able to do roll call without lying.

" THOSE WHO CAN'T "

"Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them."

Gee, what could have made our youth and adults so cynical? Can anyone think of any reason? Anyone? Bueller?

please our kids aren't that dumb, unlike us adults, they would boycott his class.
what a headache he would be for the school's prinicipal.

how could a man who in his entire life, never mind his 8 year Presidency has shown anything but total disdain and a lack of intellect for a competent government, civics, the constitution, US history, World history, the rule of law, the principals of democracy, of balance of powers, separation of powers, military service and honor, diplomacy, a free press, life on earth and stood for nothing more than a singular unitary executive power for himself be expected to teach anything to anyone.

Bush's class would totally be run by his assistant teacher, Mr. Cheney.

pissed off patricia @ 4:

That sounds like something we would read in the Onion. Bush, teach school?

Unfortunately, no one can teach a cat to bury its own poop, except perhaps, another cat.

Our kids aren't that dumb, unlike us adults, they would boycott his class. Please don't wish Bush on any prinicipal. What a headache that principal would have. You know he doesn't follow rules, or play well with others.

"Mr. Bush, could you tell us about history before you re-wrote it?"

Bill Buckley once took his yacht out into international waters so he could experience marijuana without joining the ranks of unwashed hippie law-breakers. Looks like Kathryn Jean Lopez has followed Buckley's example and done the same thing with crack.

Are we sure he didn't say coffins?

they don't want homosexuals teaching our kids, but mass murderers are a-okay . . . go figure!

Perhaps he could explain nuke-u-lur physics.

Emma Hussein Goldman @ 17:

I'm not sure whether Katie Jean has an overly high regard for Chimpy, or complete disrespect and distain for teachers and the work they do.

That's exactly what I thought. I think Ms. Lopez must have had a horrible high school experience. My government teacher was awesome. I can't believe how many people (like Bush, for example) learned nothing in their high school government class.

marko @ 26:

Bush needs to do his post presidential service in the laundry at a large maximum security federal prison.

I'm not sure I'd trust him with the laundry - I'm thinking breaking big rocks into smaller rocks - but I agree he deserves to spend at least 30 years in the pen.

Yeah, need to replenish the ol' coffers- that White House job didn't pay as well as sittin' on my rich gubernatorial ass doing nothin', even though bein' Prez could give ya a 1st class woody sometimes. Too much haaaard work for too little $$$$.

GWB down from multi-multi millionaire to just one multi.
Time to replenish the ol' etc etc...

Great post John, I imagine President Bush is going to replenish his finances while trying to push the conservative agenda by opening up more "non-partisan" institutes like the Heritage Foundation etc... What a waste of time, money and people.

imaginin the shocked look on the children in his class room when he has to pull his pants off turn around and give a speach entirely from the opening of his asshole!

Dale @ 32:

Bush's class would totally be run by his assistant teacher, Mr. Cheney.

you know what that would mean . . . the penalty for not handing in your homework on time: waterboarding!

What exactly does "replenish the ol coffers" mean? I've never heard that expression before.

GW is what the American Indians refer to as "white man that speaks with a forked tongue".

Remember that old PSA, "Do you know where your kids are?" People would have to be asking this again if that unrepentant serial-murdering war criminal were ever allowed to come within a thousand feet of any school zone.

Wherever he goes he'll have protesters on his heels and he won't have the smothering blanket of security around him as he's used to. He'll eventually become a recluse, I'm sure. What I will enjoy the most is seeing Fox News not show pictures of Bush and his misadministration being led off in cuffs.
The real News stations will have headlines such as "Bush Whacked, or....Condi in Cuffs! or...Cheney in Chains! or...Rumsfeld Guilty!"

I don't think Bush could even teach the standardized tests that he is forcing on the children.

Yohance @ 45:

Might be a family expression passed down from Georgie Boy's elitist robber baron ancestors. They might have actually had coffers.

Let him teach to the test. Let him live under the restrictions of No Child Left Behind and see how well the children "is" learning.

Aside from that, he can teach "Water-boarding is not torture 101". I'm sure he would enjoy that.

But man, I would not exactly want to foist this man on any student. But throwing spitballs at him would be fun.

I think he'd make an awesome 'bitch' passed around amongst other prisoners as he spends the rest of his life tossing salad and 'taking one for the troops' in prison for war crimes.

Yohance @ 45:

What exactly does "replenish the ol coffers" mean? I've never heard that expression before.

actually, that was a misunderstanding . . . georgie wants to replenish the ol' coughers, the coughers being a bunch of rich white guys who are addicted to huffing money . . . bush intends to use the money from speaking engagements to feed their habits

just to replenish the ol’ coffers

Does he meean "oil coffers?"

He's in love with this country like Glenn Close was "in love" with Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction.

I also hate the myth that the media has perpetuated of him being a likable guy and one you'd want to hang out with. After 5 minutes of that irritating smirk and finding out he has no intellectual curiousity, I'd really have to fight the urge to kick him in the shins.

Higher, Maude, higher, & many many times.

Beyond the nonsese that he could teach anyone something about US government or history... Bush is a likable guy? Yeh, just like he's somebody you'd want to have beer with. The crazy thing is that she believes this hogwash. It tells us something about the delusions of the very few who are still in Bush's corner have constructed

replenish the ol’ coffers

this begs the simple question....

how?

We wonder how much Bush has studied about the former Chilean dictator Pinochet.

Augusto Pinochet also implemented harsh measures against his political opponents which included violations of civil liberties and human rights and for which he faced several criminal charges.

Other potential studies: The effects and consequences of what happened to every country in history that engaged in global empire.

We recommend that PBS do an emergency Frontline Special to bring awareness to help stop the Bush Cheney mob
from further looting and harming our country, people and the world.

Infamous porn star Ron Jeremy was actually a public school teacher before getting into porn. Technically, he's still licensed to teach in the state of NY. His comment on this was, "If I went back into teaching, parents would be calling 911 right away."

The point of this story is that I think there's still a greater chance that Ron Jeremy will become a teacher than GeeDubya.

"Sixty-two is really young and yet I’ll be through with my presidency.”

Y'know, I'm 48 and I've been through with Bush's presidency for the last 8 years.

boosh is so uncoordinated he can't even feed himself without injury.

Never noticed it before, but in that picture where Bush is holding the book upside down, Bush's head is blocking a poster of the Preamble to the Constitution. Hmm.

good parallel

pinochet, like our past successive US administrations, also employed peeps from the chicago shool of economics to mold the economy to benefit the few at the expense of the majority.

pinochet was also picked up for war crimes. so, there is hope....

WOW!

Considering his put-down nicknames for associates, I have trouble believing anyone would want to have a beer with this cretin. Not more than once.

Remember, he'll have a full complement of Secret Service agents with him around the clock for the rest of his life. I know a lot of teachers who would love to have that sense of security.

Nick Danger @ 68:

That idea always cracks me up... "Bush is a guy you feel you could have a beer with"! Except you couldn't. He's an alcoholic, he can't have a beer with you... he can't trust himself to do so.

Personally, I'd like a President that makes me feel stupid compared to them. Someone who could run the country far better than I could. Someone who would work harder than I do. Someone to look UP TO!

it's a lot harder to get bored in federal prison, George.

He'd probably be MIA from his duty posts.

May I suggest an inner city school in New Orleans? I'm sure he'd feel the love there.

He is not out of the WH yet .

Can I pick myself off of the floor yet? I have been laughing so hard that I can hardly contain myself. Oh...sorry, were you serious?

Bet one thing, his COFFERS are a heck of a lot fuller NOW then when he took office.

Well said.

If he's not in power to enrich the rich at the expense of the working-class and the poor, why is his life worth a damn to the corrupt psychopaths that hide behind him? For him to talk as if his life is worth something out of power is laughable at best.

Northern Trombonist @ 2:

Does The Hague need a high school teacher?

Den Haag (The Hague) will be just fine without the intellectual contribution of GWB. The Netherlands is shoulder to shoulder with immigrants, myself included. There isn't enough room for The Big Giant Head.

Why, every time I look at this man, I feel like he owes me at least a blow job. "Forget the country I bankrupted, I need to replenish MY coffers"

What a f*cking joke. The face of America...

This isn't surprising... Lopez has been more wrong than right.

He would be a detriment for public education: Showing that you can become president of the United States and not have a command of the English language. The English teachers would revolt. (But he'll just have the hall monitors sentence the teachers to detention without hope that they'll ever get out.)

Besides... can you imagine the sheer logistics it would take the Secret Service to keep that school safe. It'll also squash any dissenting voice that will try to surface in the school paper. Lopez, just needs to get a fucking clue.

Obama should run an add showing how much McCain accepts in campaign contributions from all the Bushes.

Mark my word, this "piece of political shit" is going to hide as far away from public appearances as possible IN SHAME the rest of his life.

He has looted America of plenty, and he doesn't need more "profit" from his disastrous years as "the decider/dictator" of the once greatest nation on Earth.

He will be chastised, boo-ed out, jeered at any public event he attends. I, myself, plan to go to the inauguration of Obama and let my voice be heard as the pathetic excuse of a human being slips quietly out the back door.

He is a disgrace, and he knows it. Not even HE could be that f*cking stupid!!

What a moron. Lopez should join with Glenn Beck for special edition of his show celebrating the wonderful presidency of GWB. First guest, Vincent Bugliosi......

This slimy excuse for a human being has been handed EVERYTHING he's ever had on a silver platter, thanks to "family" money and power, including his positions at EXXON and Haliburton, the two BIGGEST PROFITEERS during his privileged, incompetent, completely corrupt administration. I expect that the task of “Replenishing the Ol’ Coffers” will be a slam dunk cinch, for both he and that soulless filth, Dick Cheney, with secret payoffs to foreign accounts, in the billions of dollars, from his criminal corporate pals at the above mentioned crime syndicates.

Forget "impeaching" this vermin, both should be tried and summarily executed for "crimes against humanity". Saddam Hussein was a humanitarian compared too the Bush/Cheney gang...

I guess it's some consolation that the crazy woman knows her thoughts are crazy.

he will be running what he called “a fantastic Freedom Institute” promoting democracy around the world.

I think Bush was misquoted. He's actually planning on running "The Fantastic Freedom Institute," whose staff will include Aqua Man, Captain Amurrica, Thor, and The Hulk.

I dunno, given what happened the last time the chimp was in a classroom reading "My Pet Goat" to the students I'd prefer he never set foot in a school again.

Still, there is family precedence. Didin't Jenna or Not Jenna teach in inner city schools somewhere?

She can't be serious. Is she? Was this some sort of contest to come up with the worst possible idea? I can see how this would at least be in the top 5, along with Blood (or Crip) Director of Recruiting, Television News Anchor or Pundit, Magician, and President of the United States.

That would be one class that I would happily expect my kids to skip.

I am mortified by the idea of "W" conducting right wing indoctrination to H.S. students

That's his I.Q.

I'd let him teach.

In the worst school NOLA has to offer.

The GOP Convention is in St. Pau., not Minneapolis.

Is that the world's most amazing damnation-with-faint-praise evah?

With the author being completely ignorant of the fact that her "awesome" idea destroys the sole remaining muon of respect any thinking human could possibly have for the man?

Is she serious?

Wow. I sure wouldn't want any of my high school government teachers running the country.

And they ALL knew more about government than Bush.

Northern Trombonist @ 2:

Does The Hague need a high school teacher?

No. The Hague is looking for war criminals.

chimpy teach government?? That would be pretty difficult for him to do since he cant speak clearly or lucidly. Pity the poor students who got stuck trying to make sense of what chimpy says!!!

However, he has lots of experience filling his coffers. I wonder if he really knows that that word means.....

Teaching High School-level American Government? He should be *TAKING* it! Maybe he'd learn a few of the finer points of constitutional government that he apparently missed the first time through.

Yes, Chimpy will be in great demand on the lecture circuit. He can explain how to snort coke off a stripper's ass....or how to fail in the oil business, not once but twice.

it would be fitting were he to receive a lifetime of Secret Service protection of the very same level of quality as has been shown time and time again in every facet of this administration's doings.

replenishing the ol' coffers translates to: Cheney's cutting me in for a piece

He should fit right in for a number of Dirty Jobs episodes after he finishes making a mess of the modern world.

Are y'all KIDDING? He doesn't need money. Bush will be relaxing at the Paraguay ranch, along with Rove and the rest of the gang, protected by the US Marines and safe from possible prosecution for the war crimes and corruption they have committed, snorting coke and laughing about how they fucked up America and will never have to pay for it.

I wonder if there will be a site to monitor Bush's post abysmal misadministration itinerary where he tries to replenish the coffers. Pictures and videos of protests etc...
I'd definitely bookmark that and check in on a regular basis. If not, I'll have to rely on Fox News for unbiased reporting.

I'm pretty sure he's going to be joining his brother Neil in building that bridge between Alaska and Russia.

I don't know what coffers are, but I assume they have them in jail.

Tom M @ 1:

This man is a war criminal, if he won't be impeached he should be prosecuted for murder.

Thank you, Tom. I've been saying that since we invaded.

Far less importantly, Frank Calliendo is doing Dish TV ads doing his impersonation of a dumber than a rock monkey boy president,... who's great idea was it that he start TEACHING?

The idea is a dishonor to all teachers.

“A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn’t George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher?...
Whatever you think of President Bush, he’s a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.”

My Dear Ms. Lopez,
As a longtime history teacher, I fear I must take issue with your patently absurd statements posted above. My critique is as follows:
1. This is not just a totally crazy thought, it is an absolutely 'batshit crazy' thought that even a 5 year old child with Down Syndrome would call ridiculous.
2. The word 'awesome' applies to earthquakes, tidal waves, the Rocky Mountains, and Pamela Andersons tits. It does not apply to George W. Bush in the position of high school government teacher, which in a way is like having Lorena Bobbitt working as a Moyel.**

**(A Moyel is the yiddish name for a person who performs circumcisions)

3. Using the word "teach" & George W. Bush in the same sentence is an oxymoron that is bound to end badly 99.99% of the time.
4. This president is the farthest thing from a likeable man who loves his country. George W. Bush is a sociopath, a pathological liar, a mean & vengeful dry drunk, a felon, a war criminal and a mass murderer, who neither loves his country nor its laws or constitution which he has stained yellow.
5. His history will be a legacy of deciept, incompetence, politcal blunders, greed, cronyism and leading his country into an unnecessary war of aggression based on lies.
6. Putting his country on a firm path to financial ruin and corruptimg the entire US Justice dept are not the kind of experiences you would want to share with the high schoolers who will ultimately have to pay off your massive debts and live with no healthcare, bad laws and rigged courts that favor corporations and the wealthy.

7. Ms Lopez, you are a cretin & have rightfully earned the grade of F- for both your lack of credibility and reality. If you even thought for a millisecond, that a man who could not complete the saying: "Fool me once, shame on you..... Fool me twice.....(duh) fool me twice (duh)..... well you can't git fooled agin" (SHAME ON ME) was qualified to teach government, on any level, you have obviously drunk the koolaid and are trippin in the Bush/Bizzaro world.

Please Madam, find another line of work....... you are eminently qualified for several open positions at Disneyland I hear they're looking for mental dwarfs this year.

I think he has done wonders replacing his "ol coffers".

An Average Joe @ 73:

He'd probably be MIA from his duty posts.

May I suggest an inner city school in New Orleans? I'm sure he'd feel the love there.

babs would probably think it was okay for her evil twit of a son to teach the hapless youth of new orleans . . . after all, they "you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this [would work] very well for them"

“A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn’t George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher?"

Sure, K-lo. For the home-schooled.

i wouldn't let chimpy anywhere near my kids. he'd either end up trying to pervert their understanding of the constitution, ethics, science, or...well there's nothing i want to see him teach.
come to think of it, i wouldn't even let him house train my puppy.

"Replenishing the ol' coffers," with speaking fees, huh, George? I wouldn't bank on it yet. Who's going to pay him to speak? How's that been working out for Alberto Gonzales, anyway?

Crack with a spray paint chaser, maybe? I hear huffing down the spray paint really takes the edge off of that harsh crack, at least thats what Rush says.

Just wonderful;Bush teaching a bunch of teenagers.What would happen if they acted out?Would it be watere boarding or would their home be strafed with napalm from F-15s?

Why would Dubya begin working now? He's been a fuckup/quitter his entire life.

Mmmm. If he thinks he's going to make millions on speaking tours like Reagan and Clinton, he's sadly mistaken. He will be boycotted because of the slimeball he is and because he is not capable of giving a coherent, grammatical speech.

i suppose he could be a prison trustee.

Of course he won't make millions: he'll make BILLIONS! Halliburton, Blackwater, KBR, Bechtel, Exxon-Mobil, Shell, the Saudis, the Israeli right, the Telecoms, Big Coal, Big Pharma, the insurance companies - all these and more know that massive kickbacks (for services rendered) will be due Dubya and Cheney come January 21, 2009. He'll give speeches to small groups of the elite, behind closed doors, with massive security, for the rest of his life - barring legal action, which would only occur if the Democratic Party leadership miraculously acquired testicles, so don't hold your breath on that one. Sorry to be depressing, but it's the truth. We could all wish cancer on Dubya, but, personally, I think that'd be cruel to the cancer.

How can anyone read this adolescent nonsense without emptying their bladder in their shorts/panties?

Attention !!!

Does Anyone have a link to that picture of bush with the upside-down book in its full size?

I'd like to have it framed.

It's also very obviously photoshopped. Look at the orientation of that black spike-like thing.

I can already hear the crickets in one of his speaking engagement. I woulds bet the only way his speaking tour will be a success is if he invited some activist to pummel him with rotten tomatoes and eggs. Or if he will be a pinata in a fiesta or has his ass as the subject of pin the tail on the donkey or in this case the elephant ass. I will be first in line to do it.
And beside what will he say that will matter to anyone anyway.

The same way the repugnant empty their head with precious brain cells. every time their mouth spew lies and distorted facts I supposed.

Well, the Chimp does have the same level of emotional maturity as a high school student, so it might work. Of course, the kids wouldn't learn a damn thing but they'd have fun watching the former boy-king make faces.
