"well, i helped ruin the whole ***** country."
"we'll be in touch." - poopsybythebay, on 02/21/2009, -21/+193Right where they belong.
- cam0man, on 02/22/2009, -10/+121not unemployed....vacationing.
they're sitting on the beaches right now counting their cash. - Dralha, on 02/21/2009, -17/+103Who would want to hire them? They're all a bunch of unqualified, uneducated, incompetent ignoramuses who only served during the tragedy of the bush administration because they were buddy buddy with the worst president in U.S. American history.
- BuckQJohnson, on 02/21/2009, -16/+98That's exactly right, nobody wants to hire them because anybody associated with Bush II is considered poison to them. They have helped to ***** up the country and literally helped put the US into a depression. On top of being a criminal state that tortures and says they don't.

President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:
1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of over one hundred thousand Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.
2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.
3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.
4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.
5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.
6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.
8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.
9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."
10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.
11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.
12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.
13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.
14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.
15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.
16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."
17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.
18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.
19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.
20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.
more when I have time... - stonebear, on 02/21/2009, -2/+38Faith based employment makes baby Jesus smile.
- oboshoe, on 02/22/2009, -5/+40Not really shocking.
1) They are all wealthy enough that they were not living on their government wages anyway. Lets be honest. They are NOT standing in the unemployment line, nor worrying about how to put food on the table. While their next yacht may be a little tougher to acquire, the slip fees on their current yacht will stay current.
2) They weild very significant Republican influence. However that is hardly in demand. The same thing happened in 2000 after the Clinton administration left.
Assuming we don't evolve to a single party state, eventually the Republicans will be back in power and these guys will be in great demand.
In the meantime, they take a vacation and live off their significant wealth.
In that context, it pissed me off more than it makes me happy. - zunipus, on 02/22/2009, -3/+34"so tell us about your last job."
"well, i helped ruin the whole ***** country."
Correction:
"well, i helped ruin the whole ***** WORLD."
"reap what you have sown. get lost." - jsffive, on 02/22/2009, -13/+42Poetic justice.
- sarahlee, on 02/21/2009, -2/+26Where they can do less damage.
- mikelieman, on 02/22/2009, -3/+26I would have just summed up the Federally indictable offences as 18 USC 1001, 18 USC 371, and 18 USC 2340.
Federal Prison: Good enough for Martha Stewart. Good enough for convicted Terrorists. Good enough for the Bush Gang. - stonebear, on 02/21/2009, -7/+26This is obviously not happening on Wall Street; he'd have a taxpayer funded bonus by now.
- NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2009, -1/+20"so tell us about your last job"
"well, I spent around 8 years ignoring the will of the people who hired me, and demonstrated a complete willingness to advance my own ideologies even when in conflict with my official job duties and when unethical to do so. I think I'd make the perfect employee!" - EricAugu, on 02/22/2009, -1/+17Unemployed, yes. Filthy rich, yes. What's new?
- cr4ft, on 02/22/2009, -9/+25I know it's rude but HAHAHAHHAHA
and I ONLY laugh because most of those employees in the White House were graduates of Regent University (the religious University run by Pat "gays cause Hurricans" Robertson) - stonebear, on 02/21/2009, -3/+18Of course; the probability that plenty of them are rich from corruption kind of turns that around on you.
- inactive, on 02/22/2009, -2/+16Being unemployed is not bad when you can live the rest of your life in retirement doing what you like with the millions of dollars in kickbacks from war, prison, drug, and oil companies.
- adml_shake, on 02/22/2009, -5/+19You don't need to have a job when you rigged the system to pour massive amounts of cash into your bank accounts.
- david76, on 02/22/2009, -0/+12I don't think you guys get it. It's not like the Bush administration suddenly laid off a bunch of people. The end of the term was known well in advance. So, people didn't just start looking for jobs as soon as they left the White House in January. I'm sure they were looking for quite a while, and yet, they cannot find jobs.
Of course, the economy is in the *****, so it's not totally surprising. - mikelieman, on 02/22/2009, -1/+12Ridicule > Boycott.
"You saw their resume and STILL hired them? You must hate your shareholders!" - trolleyfan, on 02/22/2009, -1/+12Less then 25% to go!
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 02/22/2009, -1/+12Until there is space in the JAILS for them.
- PixelPusher74, on 02/22/2009, -1/+11Yeah, your comment IS pretty stupid. The point you are missing is that after regime change, the old guard goes out and gets fat new jobs because they were 'cool' enough to have worked for a former president.... but this last part hasn't happened... go figure.
- lepetitmousse, on 02/22/2009, -3/+13well just about everyone has a hard time finding a job in two months these days anyways
- JROXZ, on 02/22/2009, -10/+20So ***** WHAT... I doubt any of them will be on any sort of welfare.
- mikelieman, on 02/22/2009, -2/+10Why aren't they in Jail?
Maybe you need to ask that question of the United States Attorneys hand picked for their Religious Fundamentalism and Political Reliability rather than their obedience to their sacred oaths.
The standard for indictment under 371 is:
"Is there probable cause to believe that the defendants used deceit, craft, trickery, dishonest means -- including lies, false pretenses, misrepresentations, deliberate omissions, half-truths, false promises, and statements made with reckless indifference to their truth -- to obstruct, impede, or interfere with Congress' lawful government function of overseeing foreign affairs, relating to the invasion of Iraq?"
Since there is, I wonder myself why a Grand Jury hasn't heard these claims. - NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2009, -1/+9Karma's a bitch!
To quote Nelson from the Simspons, "Ha Ha!" - bhavinp, on 02/22/2009, -17/+25Someone should keep track of all the people associated with Bush and if a company does hire them, a boycott of the company should ensue so those bastards never find a job for at least a few more years.
I can only hope. - Technopundit, on 02/22/2009, -0/+7Why would they want to work? That administration looted the treasury on their way out.
- cowfish234, on 02/22/2009, -8/+15of course they would be unemployed
why on earth would anyone work when the friends they've helped for the last 8 years give them an early retirement? - TriTech, on 02/22/2009, -2/+9I thought they all stole enough to set themselves up for life.
- mikelieman, on 02/22/2009, -1/+8How many had money with Madoff?
- chase001, on 02/22/2009, -0/+6Do any of them need to work again after the planeloads of money they laundered over in Iraq? They looted the entire surplus in our Treasury and then some.
- wonderchemist, on 02/22/2009, -3/+9Republicans have very little loyalty if you are not useful to them anymore. Ask Linda Trip or Paula Jones.
- DOCNM, on 02/22/2009, -1/+7FTA: "That 'is much, much worse' than when Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton left the White House"
Serving suggestion:
1) read
2) comment - novenator, on 02/22/2009, -3/+9Great list! Thank you 10,000 times. Saved for future reference.
- SilverBlade2k, on 02/22/2009, -7/+13They deserve to be unemployed. Hell, they even deserve to have their assets and bank accounts frozen too..
- treehugger87, on 02/22/2009, -1/+7Cognitive dissonance can be so amusing sometimes
- HippyJM, on 02/22/2009, -0/+6That is horrible news. We need to get on this and solve this problem. What do we do to get 100% of them unemployed?
- GodsTwin, on 02/22/2009, -1/+6Give them a face full of the recession
- Nighttime, on 02/22/2009, -4/+9Why is this on the front page? For god sake Obama has only been in office for 1 month. How many of you can move and find a new job in 30 days?
And if you can't why is that so news worthy that it makes it to diggs front page? Rawstory is a bunch of ***** losers for spitting this crap out, and anyone that dugg this story is just as bad. - kingUssop, on 02/22/2009, -12/+17Deservedly so.
- atromos, on 02/22/2009, -0/+5lol. no one is bitching about a republican digg because digg isn't right winged. are you high? cause the rest of us are, that's why digg is littered with liberal "legalize it (both pot AND gay marriage while im at it) and articles still bashing bush and his administration.
so we should just count the zero's right? even though bush okayed an 8 billion dollar (and yes, that's the exact same amount you just typed) wall street bailout as compared with a legitimate economic stimulus... which would put him in the same standing and would, in effect, make our counting of zeroes ever-the-more-pointless, right?
i mean, i hate to use this much sarcasm, but either you're being incredibly sarcastic or you are the single most retarded user-of-the-keyboard ever to cross digg's forums. shame on your ignorance and the poor, uninformed soul that dugg you. - Yage2006, on 02/22/2009, -0/+5After raping the country they probably don't need to work anymore.
- oboshoe, on 02/22/2009, -0/+5You're right of course, it is a generalization.
But its just an illustration. yachts are good at illustrating wealth. - Ratteler, on 02/22/2009, -5/+10We need to seize all their assets and give them mops to clean up all that "trickle-down" they gave us.
- akchrs, on 02/22/2009, -31/+36How stupid is this. Another president came into office and the people in the last presidency are unemployed ..... go figure.
- onlinetreason, on 02/22/2009, -1/+6On the streets!
