Bush returns home to AEI on Thursday for speech on domestic policy legacy.
The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) has been a key source of the Bush administration’s right-wing policies and personnel. Last year, Bush told AEI, “I admire AEI a lot. … More than 20 AEI scholars have worked in my administration.” These ideologues include Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Doug Feith, and John Yoo. On Thursday, Bush will thank AEI with a speech on domestic policy:
Not surprisingly, Bush’s Domestic Policy Council director, Karl Zinsmeister, worked at AEI for 12 years.

I am sure that the AEI dolts attending this event will be allowed to wear their shoes . . . as long as they have shoestrings and are tied with double-knots.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:47 pmUsually, the people in AEI would have their servents actually doing the tying, untying and throwing of shoes. Something as plebian as political dissent would be frowned upon in pursuit of power, money and more power.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:55 pmObviously noone proof read that invitation, there is a error on it. It says The “Honorable” George W. Bush. And, Bush had absolutely NO domestic polcy initiatives. What a farce. I hope someone throws a shoe at him.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:58 pmHis farewell tour wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the place that made it all happen, the NeoCon Club.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:58 pmI think the invitation meant to say The “Horrific” George W. Bush. Unfortunate typo.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:59 pmDomestic legacy? Surely you jest. AEI has a better chance of cleaning a two ton turd with a tooth brush.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:00 pmWouldn’t the fact that that many AEI folks worked high up in his administration indicate that he stacked the deck ? That he is an Ideogogue ?
December 15th, 2008 at 5:02 pmI think it should say:
The Dishonorable Chimpy
December 15th, 2008 at 5:02 pmWorst! President!! Ever!!!
Eh. He won’t have to worry about flying shoes here!
December 15th, 2008 at 5:06 pmI hope they remember to stock plenty of air freshener spray…
December 15th, 2008 at 5:08 pmThese ideologues include Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Doug Feith, and John Yoo.
Sounds alot like the PNAC roster.
The GOP is so short on brains that the same idiots have to serve in 2 “think tanks”?
Never mind, I already know that answer.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:10 pmAny chance a crowd of people could line the motorcade route holding sandals in their hands ?
Not to throw them, which could be considered assault. Just peacefully holding them in their right hand and slapping them against their left.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:14 pmya gotta love it – one of the lasting impressions of this turd will be seeing that guy throwing his shoes at him – LOL
December 15th, 2008 at 5:27 pmScholars? He is actually calling these dumbshots scholars? They should be called unpatriotic traitors to this nation.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:35 pmAnd btw, we, the American people are NOT grateful for all the damage that the members of AEI have done to our nation. George “Two Shoes” Bush lives in a different universe than the rest of us.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:37 pmNo need to slap the soles of shoes against your hand. Just hold up the shoes with the soles pointing to Pres. “Two Shoes” as he passes in his motorcade. Be sure to spit a big one on the sole of the shoe before you hold it up.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:42 pmDon’t tell me…the whole thing was Bill Clinton’s fault.
And now…Ann Coulter with her Jaw Wired Shut:

Memo to AEI:
The fact that your untrained monkey George spent the last eight years digging a great big hole does not allow you to pour concrete into the hole and call it a “foundation for the future”. We are on to you. Nice try though.

My understanding is that just showing someone the sole of your shoe is a sign of contempt. Nothing they can charge you with there!
December 15th, 2008 at 5:53 pmWill Wall Street figurehead Bernard Madoff be there. He deserves props too.
December 15th, 2008 at 6:02 pmAEI scholars
December 15th, 2008 at 6:15 pmNow that’s an oxymoron we can live without
Lets throw shoes at the ‘ledacy’ pig!
December 15th, 2008 at 7:21 pmWhoop! Whoop! Whoop!
Revisionist History Alert!

Revisionist History Alert!
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
The Honorable(?) George W. Bush. That’s a joke, right?
December 15th, 2008 at 8:32 pmAIE will go down in history as the biggest pack of thugs in America. They all belong in a maximum security prison.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:52 pmI’m sure Tim Vacu0usl1ck and his di@per pal M3thMan would agree with that
December 15th, 2008 at 10:22 pmah, John Yoo, the man who provides the president with sound legal advice like the fact that the united states president can s3xually t0rture children with impunity..
December 15th, 2008 at 10:22 pm“The Honorable George W. Bush?” I would have thought it was a different person, had the invitation not added that he is President of the US. I can’t think of anything honorable about George W. Bush.
