Bush: Screw Loose with Spare Time

GWB  at Elliott’s

Former president George Bush made a visit yesterday to Elliott’s Hardware in Dallas which earlier this month had offered him a job.

With Secret Service in tow, Bush walked into the store and declared he was

    "Lookin’ for job"

but didn’t fill out an application. Instead he posed for pictures and bought flashlights and some batteries. Along with those items he left with an Elliott’s blue uniform jacket and a name tag in case he changes his mind.

Hysterical!

I know it was a light-hearted “job” offer, but imagine if the former president were the greeter:

“Good mornin’. Welcome. We’re glad to have had you. I mean, glad we’re gonna be havin’ ya. Well yer here, anyway. In other words, happy that yer here and not there. heh-heh. Y’ know, ’cause “there,” we wouldn’t be able ta keep ya safe. But “here,” well, there’s here and there’s HERE –”

“Um, can you please tell me where the hammers are?”

“Well, I could but I shouldn’t ’cause they could be used as weapons of mass destruction — hell, everything in here could be. Have you seen those radial arm saws?!”

He wouldn’t last a day.

Bush had a screw loose and plenty of spare time while he was president so Laura probably has noticed anything different

I’m sure that even in Dallas they could find someone who actually does need a job and has a brain as well.

I image all their competitors are hoping Bush goes to work there. It’s a safe bet he’d drive that biz into the ground like he did the country!

Pathetic, when a hardware store offers the former president a job.
25-30% of his former employee’s can’t find jobs.
The rest have cushy jobs at universities and other places.

Bush is “nuclear”. No one wants him.

LOL. Laura says” George, get your ass out of my house before I scalp you! I don’t care where you go, or what you do, just don’t come home before supper!”

“Lookin’ for job”

you know, sometimes the man can really be a charachter, I happen to think that was brilliant if he wants to rehabilitate his image.

I have rarely thought anything this president has done was brilliant, (that’s for sure, I am famous for calling him a moron) but this was in fact quite well done


TexBetsy | Sunday February 22, 2009 07:48 am 9

damn affirmative action. how many non-millionaires actually NEED that job!

LOL. Laura says” George, get your ass out of my house

I have a running joke with my co-workers who seem to put in far more hours then are productive

I once said;

“you really hate going home don’t you”

the man’s face turned white as he tried to deny it but his brother (who works there as well), chimed in

“YOU NAILED IT!!!!”

so now when they show up for work early or don’t go home till late they say;

“why would I go home before I have to, I’m married”

funny stuff in my office

one of the wives called me up one saturday mornings and said;

“perris, could you tell tom you need him there so he can get the frig out of this house…please?”

funny funny funny

Ah, the rich criminal ex-Presidents…They are not like you or I.

being a hardware store it would be easy to have a contest, “Guess Who’s Dumber” starring aWol and a bag o’ hammers


KyLafG | Sunday February 22, 2009 08:40 am 13

If his name had been George Smith he wouldn’t have lasted in a job in that store for more than two years. Hardware stores are full of smart people who actually know about tools and how to use them. Can you imagine Chimpy McFlightsuit explaining to a customer to use the air compressor attached to the paint sprayer? Or how to replace an electric wall socket? I see a paint explosion that may have injured someone and a severely shocked person, if not an electrocution victim, and a burned down house. Typical of him though. Has no clue about what he doesn’t know.


bluebutterfly | Sunday February 22, 2009 09:14 am 14

Rather desperate for attention, isn’t he? How disgraceful that after all he has done, the deaths he is responsible for, the destroyed countries, etc.; that he is walking free and still being catered to.


siri | Sunday February 22, 2009 10:18 am 15

why are we still paying for SS protection for this buffoon? We can’t afford it now.
Let him cast his fate to the wind!


wagonjak | Sunday February 22, 2009 10:35 am 16

Great idea preznit…and I suspect the hammers would win even in Texas!

Bush gets Secret Service for 10 years then is on his own.

Clinton is the last president to get full, lifetime protection. Once again the Rs change a law to “punish” the Dems and have it backfire against them

*smirk*

“Bush: Screw Loose with Spare Time” Sounds like nothing has changed since his days in the White House when he had a screw loose and plenty of spare time.

citizen’s arrest!


RevBev | Sunday February 22, 2009 01:58 pm 21

It is really scary to think how many thinks the li’l W could completely mess (screw) up in a hardware store. O My….how many helpful people one usually finds there….He can really gum up the works.


ibfreenow | Sunday February 22, 2009 05:42 pm 22

I might,just might, hire him as a manure taster.
After, all, he made us eat shit for 8 year’s, so he must know what it tastes like…
Seriously, when this ape shows his face, we ought to call The Hague.

After what we he has left us, this is NOT a funny story. There are NO funny stories. Just mass deppression…
